This year, Satechi introduced its BT Button Series at CES 2015—a technology that's set to increase safety, accessibility and make life a little bit easier for you. The trio of buttons in the BT Series includes a Shutter Button, Media Button and a Home Button, encased in an aluminum metal disk. These disks can be mounted, attached to a keychain or adhered to a surface with an integrated 3M sticker. Compatible with iOS devices and Androids running OS 4.4.4. and later, these buttons make the process of automating simple tasks that much easier.
While the BT Shutter Button is ideal for snapping selfies, the BT Media Button makes it possible to play, stop, rewind and pause music and videos. With the BT Home, Siri becomes accessible in a safe, hands-free way, which is especially useful for GPS applications in a vehicle.
