@@SlexisSlacks Bro as soon as it is linux compatible I am buying idc. Look anything cool as shit and furisitc like this anmd then just take my money I don't it honestly just take my damn money.

Normal people don't use split keyboard, it makes sense that the first keyboard they make wouldn't be split. They want to be able to sell this to anyone.
Turns out, the average consumer doesn't have wrist issues that cause the need for egonomic keyboards. And even then, the concave ones that aren't split are much more common than the split models.
This makes it sound like split keyboards are the norm for programmers. Never seen anyone use them in an entire office of hundreds. Even most keyboard enthusiasts I see only look for normal keyboards
I fully agree. I think @ThePrimeTime is just a bit out of touch with this one. Even in the keyboard enthustiast scene, ergo keyboards are a RARITY among RARITY. And 99% of programmers, even ones he would consider "hardcore" would never give a flying fuck about Ergo or touch it. I think it also goes to show you have to always take people with a graint of salt on everything. It's a bit dissapointing to see him say omething with such confidence, about a topic he SHOULD be knowledge about, while being flat out 100% wrong. Sounds like he's extrapolated something from a very very tiny clique. Makes you wonder what other areas they might be off the mark on. But I'm glad most of the stuff he talks about he's quite on the dot about.
Interesting take - I've typed on a traditional (non-split) keyboard my whole life and I've never had wrist pain. 8 hours a day for work plus gaming and casual use otherwise. Am I just lucky? Ignoring the split issue this keyboard looks pretty great IF it lives up to the hype. Not something I'd buy day one, but if reviews are positive, I'll probably pick it up. I have a 6 year old 100% mech that I've been thinking of replacing - this might be the one.
iam using a casual wireless keyboard that my uncle give me 10 years ago tbh, every single day my wrist hurts really bad... sometimes i had to stop what ever i am doing because of this :(
i think some people try to keep their wrists perpendicular to the kb by angling them outwards? My whole arms are angled inwards a bit, with straight wrists. Never had wrist pain. I still want a split tho.
@@handlechar568 I actually do the same thing, I have my arms inwards when typing and my chair allows me to tilt the arm rests inwards too so I have never felt any shoulder nor wrists pains in my years of typing. But when I tried keeping my arms straight it was just constant pain and suffering when I was learning to touch type for the first time so I guess that could be a big factor of some of the peoples wrist pain. (That at least is my take, no pain as of now)
Well this may not be a keyboard for developers, but for video content editors, designers, Adobe users, etc this could be nice. Being a FL studio user (the software has the most strange and hardcoded keybindings), I could be a sucker for this
I can definitely see programmers saying no, but for 3D modeling for animation or 3D printing, video and audio content creation, post edit, etc.. This is a game changer for me, and I just have to figure out how to come up with the cash. Really think how you wouldn't need to buy seperate boards for audio edit, video edit, ect... I mean, even with the 3D printing workflow I can already see it saving me hours. If someone doesn't see it that is ok, but but people need to allow some space for us who see the crazy price paying itself off within 6 months.
Isn't the big problem with products like this (including the touchbar on Macbooks) that you... don't look at your keyboard normally? Why would I need changing/dynamic content on something I don't look at? I somewhat get the CPU/RAM/rendering progress indicator because that's information you can look at at a glance but anything else or dynamic seems kinda pointless right?
7:36 I loved how they used the pit stop video to show how fast they keycaps can be changed although it'll take a Lil bit more time if do t have them laying around. The marketing team did a great job
I've thought of wanting a keyboard with a screen/screens underneath it for years. Seeing it actually being done is really cool, agree with the split thing though. And I wonder how nice it'll feel, as well as how easily it'll break. If it's an OLED, wonder about burn-in. Otherwise, wonder about backlight bleed and contrast issues.
This is not a programmer's keyboard, and I think a split/concave layout would defeat it's main selling point which is LOOKING at the damn thing. Why get some fancy smart keyboard that you'll rarely look at while working? I rarely glance down at the keyboard when I work, and I can't figure out any scenario where I could make use of any of these fancy features. This is for graphic designers - they'd eat this up. I don't even see gamers getting on board.
I wouldn't say it doesn't solve any problems, being able to have a keyboard where you can switch the language and keyboard layout instantly instead of having to switch out every single key is huge, more so for someone like me who often finds himself in Japanese discords, having to write it with a normal keyboard is very much not pretty. Also, the fact that I could just switch out to a macro layout that has icons for each one is also huge, as I don't have to remember every single macro I've ever made that way (I am looking at you, vim) If anything, it has the potential to be really good but I wonder how is the response times in a keyboard that is pretty much a screen with keys on top, probably not worth it for gamers but I can very much see technical and billigual/polygot people getting into this type of keyboard
@@javierflores09 I also am from a non latin alphabet country; and there have always been keyboards with 2 letters on them, one latin and one non-latin, I've never heard of anyone switching keycaps because of the language.
@@discomallard69 I am from a latin alphabet country, and keycaps by default come with the normal alphabet so you have to buy the keycaps with the non-latin alphabet ad well, but it goes beyond that. What if I want to write arabic or similar? Would I buy another keyboard or keycaps for that? This kind of keyboard solves that. Admittedly, this is only an issue for people who speak more than one language whose alphabet differ
I just windows key plus space bar to change my keyboard layout to Spanish, and if I forget where a character is mapped I do the shortcut to bring up the onscreen keyboard. Windows key plus control plus "O"
I can’t understand this approach. Apart from it looking awesome, if you’re in the market for a cool keyboard you probably never look at your keyboard anyway. It’s an interface to your computer, *not* your computer…
First thing to make for something like this is a key tester. Then a spellcheck that flashes errors on itself. Then a editor/ide console feedback that shows a stack overflow page and makes the code a mini typing game. Reminder: key tester should have multiple was to enter testing mode in case keys are broken.
1:14 literally not even a full sentence bruh 😭 but good job pointing out the planck's constant, I'm reminded of the days when I loved physics (before I got forced to cs)
Most programmers I know use either the keyboards included with their laptops or regular ISO keyboards. Most keyboard enthusiasts I know think ortho and split users are mentally ill and have disparaging names for them. The types of nerds that other nerds bully.
Most programmers I know (in Sweden) use regular keyboards. Some of them are "keyboard nerds", which means that their keyboards have pretty colors or are in a compact form factor. I've converted a few to split, but mostly if they already had pain in their wrists or fingers.
I've been doing software development for decades. Hate split keyboards. I'll stick to my mechanical traditional. Maybe I'm lucky or maybe I just have posture that makes it so I don't get RSI.
Users of shortcut heavy creative/CAD software and polyglots are probably the only markets for this thing. And even then it a only while learning kind of thing because once you've picked it up just not looking at the keyboard at all is they way to go.
The best keyboard for me has been the Lenovo's TrackPoint keyboard. I have a Thinkpad Laptop and separate Trackpoint keyboard for my desktop PC. It has been truly a lifechanger for my shoulders and wrists, not having to reach for the mouse every time I need to use it.
I should get a split ortho keyboard at some point, but honestly the cherry MX ultra low profile I have no is just so fun to type on. I'm super used to membrane keyboards where there's barely any travel, and this one matches that experience perfectly, with a nice 'snap' to each keystroke that I really really like. Now if there happens to be a split keyboard with ultra low profile keys with barely any travel, I'm all about that.
it seems like it would be really great for creating and learning a very large number of shortcuts / actions that aren't simply inputting text, so initially you'd look at your keyboard tp confirm where the shortcuts are, and eventually you'd stop looking. also it looks really cool. and there's value in that.

I would love a small video game while programming. And, to up the stakes, if at any point you die, it automatically runs git reset --hard and clears your undo history.
The target market is obviously 3d artists, video editors and other Apple's "professionals" working in content creating software like CAD, veideo editors, sculpting, music and so on. The software with thousands hotkeys
I'm using single square keyboard for decades. Had wrist pain only once when I had the wrong angle between my forearm and keyboard surface. Just don't stay on top of it and you'll be fine.
It's just a massive gimmick, people who type fast don't look at the keyboard anyway and if you're a designer and use the screen your hands will get in the way, the switches are probably not nearly as good as mechanical switches... It's only feature is that it's pretty.
i wonder if Melodysheep made this music, or if it's straight up stolen or licensed from existing Melodysheep works. It's eerily similar. (Melodysheep uses it for nice science/scifi videos though, a very different and much less cringe usecase)
People training hours so that they dont look at the keyboard and use. And they create a keyboard whose primary purpose is to be looked at and then use. It defeats the purpose but looks good though.
I think I am 80% sure that the music in this video is licensed from melodysheep, because this song sounds very similar to the one from the video "TIMELAPSE OF THE FUTURE: A Journey to the End of Time (4K)" 🤔
You only need split keyboard if you are a VIM nerd. The actual split, is to use multiple input devices. OR, who cares, do what you like. I had wrist nodules from mouse, so I got the MX Vertical, gone. There are solutions, do what you want.
This keyboard is targeted to 12-year-olds with a lot of money, who want to show off their gaming setup, but the only person who actually ever get to see his setup is his mom who doesn't understand why buying an Ipad to write books is a bad idea.
i would llove this keyboard for creative reasons..I will wait for reviews before purchasing next year. Dials incorporated in the keyboard will be perfect. It is for creatives obviously.
painfully this is all possible with just about any touchscreen device and the right (conductive/capsense altering) materials - but EVERYTHING needs a happy little leet niche it seems
I gave you the thumbs up at "Written in Rust! Safe as sh*t!"! ...but then I took it back when you bashed WSL and almost turned it into a thumbs down when you fired at PowerShell! 🤬 I mean... It's a shell in which you can write a function that returns something other than a string... Like complex data structures! WTH, man? Have some respect! 😋
This took me about 11 seconds to find: What operating systems are supported? Windows 10/11 macOS 11+ (Note: application volume mixing not available for macOS) Linux / Android / iOS - Limited compatibility (see FAQ regarding operation without installed software) Does it need a utility installed to run? Can I use it on a work computer which restricts users from installing third party programs? In order to customise and configure the keyboard, the provided Flux Polymath software must be used. However, once a configuration is loaded onto the keyboard’s on-board memory it can be used even on computers that do not have the Flux Polymath software installed. Shortcuts and custom macros consisting of combination keypresses will also still function as well as manual switching between profiles. However, more advanced functionality such as automatic layout switching based on the active window and certain application specific features such as album art and track information for music will not be available if the utility is not installed.
The "FU LX"... Bruv, why they said "Programmer" I dunno, but the compatible software list is all 3D modeling, video and sound editing... the modules are all geared to that line of work. And that is what I am in to. My programming days were back before C++ was invented, and if that is what you are into. Awqesome for you. 3D Modeling, video editing, hell yeaz ! And a keyboard that can be "instantly" swapped where every single key is a macro? You don't often need A-Z in 3D modeling. Right now what do you get (if you are not a programmer... yea yea. good for you, most of the world isn't, you can make oodles of macro for free) anyway, what do you get, 5 or 10 keys you can macro on non-programmer keyboards? I'll take the 40+ per set with custom icons so I don't need a cheat sheet to remember all 40+ key binds. Anyway, new company, maybe an actual Programmer kb with some consideration for ergos in the future. Most modelling the ergos need to be around the mouse or 3D space manipulators. Having a keyboard that actually matters would really be a paradigm shift fur those markets.
not for me. pretty yes, but i consider reaching for a mouse or looking down to find a key a big L. once you learn touchtyping you never go back. maybe it is targeted more for video editors, animators or DJs than typing "folks"
Does anyone still look at their keyboard while typing (or at least do developers do, not to mention gamers - you can definitely code by looking at your keyboard, but you can hardly play game not looking at your monitor)? Because if you don't, that defeats the whole purpose of whatever is happening there, if you're not going to see it.. Sure, it seems like an innovative concept, but I certainly don't see any practical benefits, even more, it might just find it distracting :)
That's cool and all, but why would you want a lightshow underneath your hands, especially when your eyes are looking up at the screen.... That is just gonna get annoying. Wait.... I just described RGB.....
This is a video about a keyboard, yet you still managed to mention Rust.

yeah...such a shame its not split. I got the Moonlander
oh i know, i'm gonna play Subway Surfers gameplay footage on the background screen
PV=nRT is just an approximation, it doesn't work for non-ideal gas behavior
I am so afraid if I make anything he's gonna criticize it
LOL man this guy is the funniest programmer i ever seen. damnnn prime, lastly i want to say RAUUUUUUULL
Imagine looking at your keyboard
imagine spilling something on it
A super computer masquerading as Keyboard
As I only type with my index fingers I will never have wrist or back problems :P
And what is your beef with Powershell!? It is usefull once in a while for windows pipelines :)
I gave you the thumbs up at "Written in Rust! Safe as sh*t!"!
...but then I took it back when you bashed WSL and almost turned it into a thumbs down when you fired at PowerShell! 🤬
I mean... It's a shell in which you can write a function that returns something other than a string... Like complex data structures! WTH, man? Have some respect! 😋
powershell is not even mid
Wait until he sees the cost of this stupid crap.
Looks interesting, but I also can't go back to a non-split keyboard
It's probably proprietary garbo and only works on Win11. Fuck that
This took me about 11 seconds to find:
What operating systems are supported?
Windows 10/11
macOS 11+ (Note: application volume mixing not available for macOS)
Linux / Android / iOS - Limited compatibility (see FAQ regarding operation without installed software)
Does it need a utility installed to run? Can I use it on a work computer which restricts users from installing third party programs?
In order to customise and configure the keyboard, the provided Flux Polymath software must be used. However, once a configuration is loaded onto the keyboard’s on-board memory it can be used even on computers that do not have the Flux Polymath software installed. Shortcuts and custom macros consisting of combination keypresses will also still function as well as manual switching between profiles. However, more advanced functionality such as automatic layout switching based on the active window and certain application specific features such as album art and track information for music will not be available if the utility is not installed.
@@Tigregalis So basically it only works on windows.
@@Tigregalis thanks, I knew it would be a worthless product
what keyboard does primeagan use?
The "FU LX"... Bruv, why they said "Programmer" I dunno, but the compatible software list is all 3D modeling, video and sound editing... the modules are all geared to that line of work.
And that is what I am in to. My programming days were back before C++ was invented, and if that is what you are into. Awqesome for you.
3D Modeling, video editing, hell yeaz ! And a keyboard that can be "instantly" swapped where every single key is a macro? You don't often need A-Z in 3D modeling. Right now what do you get (if you are not a programmer... yea yea. good for you, most of the world isn't, you can make oodles of macro for free) anyway, what do you get, 5 or 10 keys you can macro on non-programmer keyboards? I'll take the 40+ per set with custom icons so I don't need a cheat sheet to remember all 40+ key binds.
Anyway, new company, maybe an actual Programmer kb with some consideration for ergos in the future. Most modelling the ergos need to be around the mouse or 3D space manipulators. Having a keyboard that actually matters would really be a paradigm shift fur those markets.
Yes i would love to run javascript on my keyboard.
not for me. pretty yes, but i consider reaching for a mouse or looking down to find a key a big L. once you learn touchtyping you never go back. maybe it is targeted more for video editors, animators or DJs than typing "folks"
holy they gonna have linux support, know i'm excited
Yeah whatever, what is your keyboard?
The real question is: WHY is this keyboard?
Does anyone still look at their keyboard while typing (or at least do developers do, not to mention gamers - you can definitely code by looking at your keyboard, but you can hardly play game not looking at your monitor)?
Because if you don't, that defeats the whole purpose of whatever is happening there, if you're not going to see it..
Sure, it seems like an innovative concept, but I certainly don't see any practical benefits, even more, it might just find it distracting :)
sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. depends on how I'm feeling.
Nah that furry joke was crazy 🤣
If i can afford it im probably gonna get one
That's cool and all, but why would you want a lightshow underneath your hands, especially when your eyes are looking up at the screen....
That is just gonna get annoying.
Wait.... I just described RGB.....
