1. MIRABOX Building a Smarter Desktop Ecosystem Control, information, and lighting brought together through connected hardware, unified software, and a growing plugin marketplace. Creators • Gamers • Productivity mirabox.net
2. THE PROBLEM Desktop workflows are fragmented Too many tools Invisible shortcuts Creators and power users constantly switch between applications, dashboards, shortcuts, and devices. Traditional keys are fast, but they do not show context, state, or the action assigned to them. Disconnected devices Limited integrations Keyboards, displays, controllers, and lighting often require separate software and repeated setup. A fixed feature set cannot cover every streaming, gaming, development, and productivity workflow. MiraBox Smart Desktop 02
3. T H E P L AT F O R M One customizable desktop experience Stream Dock Visual buttons and controls for macros, applications, streaming, and automation. Connected through unified MiraBox software Smart Keyboards Desktop Displays Keyboards with screens that combine typing, information, and contextual controls. At-a-glance system data, widgets, notifications, and workflow status. RGB Lighting Lighting that responds to profiles, applications, status, and visual themes. 03
4. S O F T WA R E A R C H I T E C T U R E Hardware is only one layer Devices Desktop Runtime Plugins Experience Keys, displays, encoders, lighting, and host communication. Profiles, actions, state synchronization, and device discovery. Application integrations, APIs, scripts, widgets, and community extensions. Drag-and-drop setup, icons, pages, themes, and reusable workflows. A platform, not an isolated accessory → → → 04
5. PLUGIN ECOSYSTEM Designed to grow with every workflow Stable action contracts: plugins describe actions, settings, icons, and events through versioned manifests. Two-way state: controls can send commands and display live status such as mute, timers, builds, or system data. Failure isolation: integrations use clear boundaries, validation, timeouts, and useful error reporting. Open development: developers can extend the desktop beyond the capabilities shipped by one team. github.com/MiraboxSpace 05
6. USE CASES One system, many desks Creators Gamers Scene switching, audio control, editing shortcuts, chat actions, and production status. Game profiles, communication controls, macros, telemetry, and synchronized lighting. Developers Productivity users Launch scripts, run builds, show status, open tools, and trigger local automation. Meetings, timers, app launchers, information widgets, and repeatable business workflows. Visual controls reduce friction and memory load 06
7. PRODUCT PRINCIPLES Lessons from building MiraBox Treat the SDK, documentation, examples, and debugging tools as core products. Design predictable migration paths for plugin manifests and saved configurations. Make common actions simple while preserving depth for advanced automation. Build around real repeated workflows rather than specifications alone. Let devices share profiles, information, actions, and visual themes. From individual devices to a cooperative desktop 07
