How could this work without needing software? Does it literally just type out the command when you press the button?

Probably indeed an usb keyboard device. Great idea! I would like a big red button for deploys :)

Edit: a big red button that is disabled on Fridays. To enforce relaxed weekends

[Sorry for ruining the fun in an industrial setup, the big red button is the emergency stop. If someone is in danger, you just push the big red button to stop the machine.]
Like a rubberducky but with a button?

Basically. Just non malicious. It's a macro pad with an unusually long macro.
Relax, it doesn’t need to actually do that because it installs malware and steals all your keys
