TechCrunch describes Project Mirage’s Dune as a tiny, three-key aluminum keypad that plugs into a MacBook’s USB-C port and changes context based on the app you are looking at.

The device retails for $119 and has three buttons that TechCrunch says can toggle mic and video in meeting apps, or handle actions like copy, paste, and undo in Excel or Sheets.

TechCrunch adds that Dune has no battery and needs no separate charger because it draws power straight from the MacBook.

The article says Dune is built to match a specific Mac model so it sits flush against the laptop with no gap underneath, and it currently supports M2 Air or later and M1 Pro or later models of MacBook running macOS 15 Sequoia or a later version.

TechCrunch also reports that Dune ships with a companion app for configuring shortcuts and that it syncs with a calendar to surface a next meeting a few minutes before it starts.

The article says the meeting took place on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, and it names the elected officials who came to present their choice as Jocelyn Doré, Jean-Marc Depuydt, and Dominique Clavier.

Actu.fr quotes Dominique Clavier acknowledging during the evening assembly that two CFE brackets were unbalanced, saying: “That was surely a mistake.”

The same source says Dominique Clavier responded to complaints about how money from the CFE is used, including that it funds the CDC’s operating costs and investments such as buying land and creating an activity zone at the Illats interchange.

Actu.fr adds that five entrepreneurs will meet the elected officials beginning the week of January 26, 2026 to negotiate balancing certain CFE brackets, and it states that a potential change would take effect only in 2027.
