CalmNook

Anyone who presents regularly knows the pre-meeting scramble: laptop, HDMI adapter, charger, laser pointer, clicker. CalmNook's pitch is to collapse much of that kit into a single accessory. According to the maker, it combines a 6-in-1 USB-C hub with 4K display output, a magnetic presenter and a red laser pointer, so the same device that connects your laptop to a monitor or projector can also advance slides and highlight details on screen.

Hub first, remote second

On the connectivity side, the maker lists 4K HDMI output and 100W PD Charging, meaning a laptop can drive an external display while drawing power through the hub. The campaign itself notes that real-world charging performance depends on the PC, charger and cable in use. The hub is described as Plug & Play, intended to work on connection without drivers or lengthy setup.

The presenter attaches magnetically, which the maker frames as a way to keep the remote with the hub rather than loose in a bag, giving it a fixed place to return to after a talk. The built-in red laser pointer is intended for drawing attention to specific points on slides, such as a chart inflection or a single column in a table.
