Anticater · VK-01

Wired · BT · 2.4G Anodized + Painted finishes Built-in battery Win · macOS app
Connectivity

Dual-mode or tri-mode.

Two versions: Dual-mode (Wired + Bluetooth) and Tri-mode (Wired + Bluetooth + 2.4 GHz). Pick the version that matches your desk's existing wireless ecosystem.

  • Wired (USB-C) — zero-latency, charges the battery, and powers the indicator lighting.
  • Bluetooth — pair to laptop, phone, or tablet for quick handoff.
  • 2.4 GHz (Tri-mode only) — low-latency wireless dongle for PC use.

Note: the indicator lighting only runs in wired mode to preserve battery life in wireless use.

Finish

Two finishes, your call.

Anodized — matte CNC aluminum with a clean industrial feel. Color Painted — vibrant high-pigment finish for an accent piece on the desk.

FAQ

Common questions.

Which version should I pick — Dual or Tri-mode?
Dual-mode (Wired + Bluetooth) is ideal if your setup is mostly laptop / phone / tablet. Tri-mode (adds 2.4 GHz with dongle) is the pick for low-latency PC use — especially helpful in mixed environments where Bluetooth can be congested.
Why does the lighting only work in wired mode?
By design — indicator lighting draws meaningful power. Running it only when wired (and charging) means the battery lasts much longer when you're using it wirelessly.
What does the companion app do?
Lets you configure rotation behavior, sensitivity, button mappings, and indicator settings. Full support for Windows and macOS. Android and iOS are partially supported — Anticater has noted ongoing updates to improve mobile functionality.
What's the difference between Anodized and Color Painted?
Anodized is a matte CNC-aluminum finish — clean and industrial. Color Painted uses a high-pigment paint process for richer, more saturated color (the bright orange shown is the painted finish).
Does it work with non-Anticater devices?
Yes — over standard USB HID it works as a system-level volume controller on any PC or Mac. Mobile compatibility is partial via the companion app.
