Here are some selected quotes about Shobo by themselves:

Shbobo was founded around 2010 by Peter Blasser and Steve Korn. An alternative name for the company was KORNBLASSER. We decided Shbobo was better because it sound-symbolizes "sh" for data and bobo is the bouncing and alive sound of human gestures. As you can see by the picture, I leaned on Steve a lot and he facilitated a bunch. It was his original idea of taking the analog inventions of Ciat-Lonbarde and making them USB.

Shbobo instruments are powered off of the USB connection. You will need USB type-A to type-B cable (not included). The instruments have built-in, NiMH batteries, that can run it for many hours on a full charge. They automatically trickle charge when connected to USB. When storing, make sure the power switch is off to save batteries.
