      Kind of disappointing that they didn't even go into its capabilities.
      Is it just limited to a picture.or a gif or something? In which case it is just a novelty.
      I could see it having a niche practical benefit if you can feed it CPU/GPU usage/temps, have it pop up email or teams notifications or things like that when you just don't want it as in your face or using up screen real estate.

      I know the 'inventor' tries to tell us this, but it stands for Graphic Interchange Format I don't say Jraphics ... @UnjustifiedRecs

    These switches have been made by Nkk switches for YEARS.
    They have a kit so you can make a full keyboard with only screen switches.
    This could have been done for like 10 years

    Not a bad price, though I will never understand the love for smaller keyboards. I just want my space and numpad with good keyswitches

    2:37 It's always so weird when they put a knob on a keyboard and use it for anything other than volume control... how?!

  • @simonnovak
    @simonnovak Рік тому

    Weird it's missing the `~ key and all the F keys. Anothing thing i'm not the biggest fan of is how big the bezels are. Making it look super old school. Also I wonder what the Menu button is for? Screen would be cool if it was also a fingerprint reader.

    My only complaint is the top and bottom bezels are wasted real-estate. Could have easily just put macro keys or media control buttons there. If they ever either slim down the bezels, or add an extra row of keys/buttons(like the f row), I'd definitely buy one, even if it's $100.

    Just one question. Why? Why do I need a screen that is the size of a penny…. on a keyboard….. for $86….. Seriously, why is this a thing? Who buys this? What use case do they have for this? I seriously want to know who spends their money on a keyboard like this. Genuine question.

    I can't trust Plouffe on anything, purely based on how he pronounces 'GIF'.

    I still want a KB with each key having a programmable LCD in it.
    Swap between languages or game icons on the fly without having to swap keycaps.

      It would be even nicer if the software would be opensource and run on like a rp2040 raspberry pi chip unstead of some unknown microcontroller running oem firmware. Then also a lot of programmers/devs can make awesome software for it and display complex things (and even doom or bad apple)

  • @lIlIllIlIllIlllIllIIIIIIIIIlII

    Didn't even show us gifs/videos on the screen.. what are you doing shortcircuit

  • @daponagegoogenburg807
    @daponagegoogenburg807 Рік тому

    So what exactly is the screen used for??? I really can’t think of a use case for it, and the only thing shown is a Linus face. Which is great. But I don’t know why it exists if it can only show off a png/jog

    The Steel Series Apex Pro has a much better, more useful screen imo. It's a dot-matrix LCD, not a full color OLED, but honestly, what good does having a super small, low res photo on your keyboard do? The screen should be used to change keyboard settings and actuation points, and display real time hardware monitoring info. And the Apex Pro is best in class in those areas. Plus, you can play snake directly on the keyboard.

    Now that the Art Lebedev patent has expired, screens on each key might become a thing. Haven't seen anything that will do the job, though.

    So it sounds as though there are several features of this keyboard that threaten all of mankind, but in the end are "not the end of the world".

    Holy crap that thing is stupid, there are such better keyboards for the price. It's in that area where a gimmick is added to a quality product, but doesn't really add anything to the function of the product.
