The Spotify Car Thing joined that lineage in December 2024 when Spotify killed server-side authentication and turned every unit into an expensive knob with a screen attached. Nocturne picked up where Spotify dropped off. The project launched in October 2024, anticipating the shutdown, and has shipped four major versions since. V4.0.0, currently in beta with a public release imminent, finally delivers true Bluetooth connectivity without phone tethering, a companion app, and a feature set that makes the original Spotify firmware look like a rough draft.

First and foremost, ease of use. Every time I've used this wireless keyboard, it connects instantly to my laptop with no re-pairing or fiddling with settings. The same is true for the mouse. Because both devices have a clear "1" and "2" channel Bluetooth designation, there haven't been any issues connecting quickly and efficiently each time I bust them out.
