I could see this being very useful as a replacement for a crash cart in a data center. Especially if you dont need a mouse for terminal access only.

By the way, what you're experiencing on the touch screen with the OBS sliders is a quirk of Windows Ink, where the context of your touch (press and hold for right click, tap for click, swiping to click and drag) is causing a delay between what you want to do and what Windows is trying to guess that you want done. Many drawing tablets let you turn this off because as you experienced, it can be VERY annoying to deal with when you want responsive input.

This might be useful for people who are testing used computers. Having a small monitor built in with touchscreen seems to be good to quickly test a computer without fully hooking it up to a monitor, mouse, and keyboard. Quicker to set up and run.

Honestly I've had it a few months now and love it for my workspace. I mostly work in Unreal Engine doing level design and scripting. When doing my level editing work the touch screen is the perfect size and ratio for my content browser. All in all I use 4 screens with different sizes and resolutions so this was perfect for my setup and makes for a practical second touchscreen amongst the 4.

Hide taskbar and increase the OS user interface scaling, should be in pretty good shape. But ya, tilt display and $100 cheaper would be a win.

The number of missed/delayed touches on the screen would drive you insane within the hour. With such a small screen, the touch sensitivity needs to be as good as a tablet. The idea might be good but execution looks poor. After fixing that, they should just drop the keyboard part and have an angle adjustable screen and usb hub combo that can sit above an existing keyboard.

This is great for flight sim people. They can display the instruments on this and interact with the touch screen while having the main screen solely for the view.

This reminds me of an old Radio Shack word processor used by our sports writers at a local newspaper. It had a six-line lcd screen and an integrated keyboard that laid flat like this device. The sports writers loved it as it was great for two finger typists. It had an internal 24 baud modem for telephone transmission.

As a recording/sound engineer I could see this being very useful for home studio usage to control faders and parameters for plugins, especially given the fact it works as a USB c passthrough/hub

[lurky_dev]

Soft dev here: The issues you experience with the touch functionality come down to the accessibility limitations of the app you're using and not the screen itself. OBS for instance wasn't designed with touch screen interfaces in mind.

I would absolutely use this for firmware engineering -- being able to have a UART serial up on the spare monitor at all times is super useful. Not for a laptop, for my desktop. I have limited desk space for extra monitors (I have a 27" and the laptop itself, and I'm out of room), but heaps of room on the keyboard slide out tray for something like this.

I've seen a handful of people do different DIY versions of this form factor for a while now, and I was considering making my own in the future, so thank you for your suggestions on improvements because I will definitely keep those in mind when I make mine lmao

[SaintDorado]

It's kinda funny. At first I thought the screen was the gimmick, when in actuality the keyboard is the gimmick. This isn't a keyboard with a screen, this is a screen with a keyboard.
Having the keyboard completely fixed to the screen would be really annoying for somebody like me that angles their keyboard. Otherwise this seems like a reasonable gadget for productivity.

One thing: switches cost about 20-60 cents per switch, not 2$, so even if you have to replace every single key on the board and are buying it with the express purpose of using your own preferential switches it will still not be another 130$ as implied in the video (it'd be another 35$ish USD if your switches cost 50 cents each, which is what "premium" switches cost on average). The selling point to this, to me, is the addition of the screen and it being hot-swappable. I'd be more than willing to spend the money on this and then go and replace every single switch (mostly because blues are horrible), it'd probably cost around that much to buy a barebones keyboard kit and a second monitor to do the same thing anyway.

[eastmax]

Seems really cool instead of having to get a 2nd or 3rd monitor for something to host like obs or other or like a midi deck.

[joshuaroefs]

I love my current ten keyless corsair keyboard but also this. I already found displays on ebay and aliexpress exactly like this and am thinking of making my own version with my corsair keyboard in it and a tiltable display. Ultimately it'll probably be about the same price but it'll be something to be proud of at least.

[dbltrub]

That was a Linus level ad transition. Well done Sir

[chrism]

This could be useful for controls for a NVR software (security camera streaming/recording software). I could see throwing a timeline on the screen for scrubbing video, or having additional camera streams on the keyboard so you can keep an eye out on the camers while sending a quick email or having to type something

[chrisracer]

So basically a desktop version of what the ASUS Zenbook provides. I like my zenbook. The display/touchpad hybrid was so helpful for multitasking while I was still in college.

[QUADBOYification]

Not bad for it's price, usable in confined spaces that is for sure. Maybe an option for DEX, if you wanna do stuff stealthy.
