You are technically correct—the BadUSB function, while easy to set up, is just repackaged chaos that any cheap rubber ducky can do. And yes, nothing the Flipper does is strictly ‘novel’ if you’re already carrying around a bag of specialty SDRs and microcontrollers.
However, none of those other tools are currently selling for €113 with a tiny, judgmentally staring dolphin mascot.
My point stands: the Aesthetics-to-Anarchy Ratio is unmatched at this price point. It’s the sheer convenience of a pocket-sized, all-in-one chaos dispenser that makes it maximum fun per Euro spent.
I’m only interested in efficiency when it comes to low-level societal disruption.

Ah, a voice of reason enters the chaos!
