It's a bootable flash drive glued into a keyboard.

the desktop app is a virtualbox vm with their own custom version of tails os. it probably boots to that same vm image, or at least i hope it does. also a microsd slot because ????????

the most bizarre thing imo is they call the keyboard "A4-sized"

that's how it tricked me into reading the whole drat kickstart to find out what backer level got me a second dice so I could have a pair of dies
and then it never mentioned it again so it left me wondering if this a PUA keyboard and the dice is their version of a top or feather boa

Why Copper Alloy DICE?

We love games, and we love dices. Copper dice is made from elemental copper. It is able to kills germs on contact naturally because of Oligodynamic effect. So enjoy playing with friends and family everyone huddled around the table.

EDC die to roll about while using the secure keyboard to seem interesting so people will come up and ask about the keyboard.
They only mention it the once so it really makes no sense as to why they would include it. May as well throw in any other little object, or throw it in as something more than a "thanks" to the lowest tier backers.
