What is RADR?

RADR (pronounced like “radar”) is a user-friendly, everyday wireless controller for sex machines and Bluetooth toys. Originally designed to control the Open Source Sex Machine (OSSM), RADR has evolved into a versatile controller supporting a wide range of Bluetooth-enabled devices through the Buttplug.io protocol.
