    A slim mechanical 40-60% version of this with dual joysticks, shoulder pads, and a small trackpad would be the ultimate htpc gaming keyboard. Basically a switch with a mechanical keyboard instead of a screen. You could even make the joystick section removable so that they can be separated into a more comfortable controller. Dang.. I think I’m gonna design one.

    This type of keyboard comes in handy for IT work. Can toss it in your backpack and get to work on any terminal or server machine that doesn't typically have a keyboard and mouse hooked up to it. I think this would be perfect for my line of work.

  • @Drew-ix5ih
    @Drew-ix5ih 6 лет назад +3

    the mouse triggers on the back of the track pad are awesome. what would be cool is if you could detach the keyboard from the trackpad and have the two work independently from each other. It would be awesome to pick up a small form factor mouse like that and be able to control a HTPC and then when needed you can attach back to the keyboard for typing. Or if you prefer it just keep it all together. Modularity in a HTPC's peripherals is a must, because usually there is more than one user with access to it, and we all have different preferences.

    A trackpad ON the keyboard is a surprisingly good use of space... Interesting way to phase out Numpads and have an extra trackpad option for other wireless keyboards?

      Why do you want to phase out number pads?

    • @25Dzone
      @25Dzone 6 лет назад +3

      @@Sam-gf6ue I personally don't mind them but since a lot of people are going for 60% / compact keyboards, some people clearly don't need them and don't mind them not being there. I concede this is usually because a smaller keyboard takes up less space BUT if it is decided numpads aren't useful enough to warrant taking up that room and it was instead an extra, functioning mouse? I could see why that would be useful for people who just think numpads are a waste of space. I'd totally buy a mechanical, wireless keyboard with an extra mouse pad there instead of the numpad (for when you just want to watch something and not be close to the screen, seems extremely convenient).

    I'm reading on the Amazon reviews that users are experiencing bad range of the wifi and that using Bluetooth loses some customization features. Sucks, because i'm currently using the Razor Turret and a logitech glass touchpad combo and it would just make things easier to use the K83.

    I'd like to mash this up with the Lenovo Trackpoint 2 wireless keyboard
    Keep the form factor of the K83
    Keep the backlight, metal body, and volume knob
    Take the trackpoint nub and right middle/scroll left buttons of the Lenovo
    get rid of the trackpad and right joy stick, but trade them for a number pad
    Add full sized arrow keys without making shift or enter smaller(would probably need a reduced size 0 key on number pad)
    This would be a good all-around device to use in concert with a mouse, or on the move.
    Yes a mouse is more accurate, but the trackpoint is so much more convenient because you dont have to take your hands off the keyboard to move the mouse

    So all of that, and they didn;t include just 1 single button in the left to function as a left click, maybe add another to for a right click.
    Having two of those buttons on the left increases speed so much.
    The trackpad itself should be clickable. Then have a button in the upright corner you could also get to easily with your thumb or whatever while using it for ease.

    I use the Logitech K400 for my HTPC. It only costs average of $20. It is a cheaper quality keyboard, but it is also the most common keyboard for this. Logitech makes the K600 for $60 (half the price about of the Corsair and it does all the same features+TV and BT) or the Logitech K830 for $99 (more premium+ rechargeable battery. If I was spending $99 for a TV keyboard (and my 4K smart TV cannot use a keyboard other than my phone), I'd get the Logitech K830 because it doesn't stand out/look out of place sitting on my coffee table or on my media console. I am NOT a Logitech fan boy or anything... I like the look of the Corsair but not as a living room keyboard that is meant to be seen.

    I came across this video while looking for something to replace the wireless Microsoft All-in-One Media Keyboard that I've been using with my HTPC now that I have added a Smart TV to the set-up. It would be nice to have just one keyboard I can use with both.
    Q1: What kind of on/off switch does this have?
    My wife has a habit of turning the switch on and off on the MS one I have literally every time she picks it up to use it - even if it's just to pause something she's streaming. I always worry about premature wear.
    She also has trouble using two finger gestures to scroll webpages - I was hoping the wheel on this could be used for scrolling rather than volume.
    Q2: I wonder if there's a way to reassign functions on it?

    Can they release a version without the touch pad part...I’m looking for a good magic keyboard clone. I have two magic keyboards but I just don’t like the key switch profile. Too flat.
