Literally. It’s a keyboard yet transparent, and underneath IS a display featuring nearly any glyph or function you can imagine. Pretty cool, eh? I’d like to think so. However, it does type a bit differently than your typical mechanical switches... Thanks u/FranciumGoesBoom for lending it to us to

This Flux keyboard video opens with a showcase of a highly modular, transparent keyboard that doubles as a display, promising extreme customization and cross-platform compatibility. The host highlights features such as a 1,000 Hz polling rate, a claimed 1.2 ms input delay, and adjustable actuation points achieved through analog Hall effect switches. The unboxing reveals a solid machined aluminum base, pass-through ports, a versatile keyframe assembly, and a display that sits on top, all designed to be swapped and reconfigured with magnetic key switches. Throughout, the presenter emphasizes the ecosystem around Flux, including multiple modules like extra buttons and dials, and software that maps keys to specific applications, with Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android support planned, and Linux in the future. The segment concludes with practical considerations such as the weight, build quality, and the potential need to manage finger oils on acrylic components, while teasing the price and the accompanying sponsor content. The video then pivots to a candid discussion about the reality behind the promises, acknowledging some discrepancies in performance claims while praising the design ambition and the very idea of a fully configurable, display-integrated keyboard. A product overview blends with demonstrations in DaVinci Resolve and other apps, illustrating how people might leverage the Flux keyboard for productivity and creative workflows, before addressing the cost and value proposition head-on. Finally, the host reflects on the overall experience, noting that the device pushes the envelope for keyboards, but remains a niche purchase for most buyers given the price and specialized use cases. The video closes with a reminder about sponsor tools and a tease for related content, underscoring the ongoing exploration of extreme peripherals and their practical limits.
