gadgety

Full of gizmos

Gadgety describes something characterized by gadgets or having the quality of a gadget—mechanical, clever, full of small features.

A gadgety kitchen has every specialized tool imaginable.

A gadgety solution relies on technical devices rather than simple approaches.

The word often carries a slightly dismissive tone, suggesting excessive or unnecessary complexity: The car's dashboard was too gadgety for my taste.
