Tucked away in the recesses CES 2025’s Eureka Hall startup showcase, CaiqueTech showed off a novel take on the tried-and-true baseball radar gun. After building a standalone device, the Korean firm has created a modular version that plugs directly into a phone via the USB-C port.
The PI SpeedGun module has radar built in. While the company didn’t have anyone tossing a baseball around this week, the system was on display, picking up attendees as they walked by.
The speed and other stats are then displayed on the handset’s large screen. Of course, it’s difficult to gauge the system’s accuracy simply passing by on a crowded convention center floor.
CaiqueTech does plan to bring the product to market in the not-to-distant future. A representative from the company told TechCrunch that the PI SpeedGun will hit Kickstarter around June, with an asking price of around $150.
It should be a handy little tool for amateur players.
