Why can't anyone make a cool keyboard that still has a 100% layout? Some of us actually use the numpad daily.
I have a non 100% with a numpad and volume knob. Keychron k17 pro. Bt, wired and 2.4ghz. it's brilliant.
Oh I think I have that one bookmarked. Wasn't there a southpaw version of that too? I currently rock with the system76 keyboard, forgot the name.
Tbh I get it in this case, since the overall size is around the same, the stream deck just takes up the numpad space.
Then again, surely most functions of a stream deck could also just be mapped to numpad keys if it's an either/or question anyway... (assuming kb has a volume knob, and then the other knobs could be on key+volume knob)
Hard pass.
Do stream decks work on linux?
Yes, but you need to use community tools like StreamController or OpenDeck. I wonder if any of those will work with this keyboard.
Maybe? They're probably gonna just staple a keyboard and deck together to make this. Same boards firnware and everything. That's the cheapest route at least
Well thats interesting....
$349!
Nevermind
The device that combines a $150 gaming keyboard and a $200 stream deck costs as much as a $150 gaming keyboard and a $200 stream deck would. Not... all that surprising to me.
Except if one breaks you can't just replace the one. Your price point example doesn't track.
Jesus Christ
I mean I've shopped more expensive boards before (up to the $500 usd range), and I have 3 mechanical kbs (one corsair), along with a bunch of crappy membrane ones. But the one corsair kb I have was about $140, full size, cherry silents. Nice board but I wanted something smaller. But at that price, they want another $210 on top of that for a couple knobs and buttons? Haaaaaard pass.
for a couple knobs and buttons
Name of your sex tape!
How much RAM is inside it?
640K
That ought to be enough for anybody!
