It is undeniable that a large number of productivity tools are easily available on the market, most of them from less known brands which aim to simplify a very specific workload. People who appreciated the secondary screens of laptops such as the Zenbook Duo and who wish a similar configuration for their desktop computers now have a viable option: the Keygo keyboard of https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1794064432/keygo-ultra-slim-folding-keyboard-with-smart-touch-creen.
With a 12.8 -inch IPS screen with touch support, the Keygo keyboard can be used with Windows, MacOS, Android and Linux systems. The creators of Keygo essentially sought to integrate a 1920 x 720 screen above a classic membrane keyboard, in order to improve the productivity of customers who can benefit from a secondary screen below their main monitor. Portability is not a problem, thanks to a 180 ° hinge which allows Keygo to fold like a laptop.
The Crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter seems to have had some success, since it has raised more than $ 90,000 to 345 donors at a time when we write these lines, while there are still 7 days to run. This is not particularly surprising, because there is a plethora of workflow that can certainly benefit from what Keygo offers. Made of anodized aluminum, the keyboard is also pleasant to the eye, even if the absence of mechanical switches will certainly brake a good part of the potential customers. RGB lighting is also available, for those who ask the question. The other details are as follows:
- 300 maximum brightness nits
- contrast report of 8000: 1
- 72 % coverage of the NTSC color range
Price and delivery
However, things are starting to become a little ridiculous when we pay our attention to the price of the keyboard. Although donors can benefit from a 50 %discount, the Keygo keyboard seems to cost $ 538. The price could however be a lure, which would encourage potential customers to buy the keyboard for fear of missing something. The price of 249 dollars for first buyers is much more reasonable, but it is recommended that interested people to be aware of the risks associated with the support of crowdfunding projects. Delivery should start in November 2025.
