Description
This keyboard is actually a PC. But, is it any good? The ingredients in this pie include 16 GB of RAM and a 256 GB SSD. And it's like a whole computer. You can get your ass beat in a video game. You can even watch YouTube on it. But, not quite at full resolution. On the backside, you're looking at some USB ports, some micro HDMI, GPIO pins, and gigabit Ethernet. Plus, it still has a classic microSD slot for more expansion or if you want to run another OS. It's powered via USB-C and it could technically run off of a USB-A port, but you'll want to be careful because adding peripherals could overrun the power output of a USB-A port. This is sweet for personal projects or maybe like a little home server. And it's super annoying with its clicky blue Gateron switches. But, it does come with Bluetooth 5 and Wi-Fi 5 if you want medium-fast Wi-Fi. Just don't expect it to be like a typical laptop, especially when it comes in at $410.
This short presents a compact, keyboard-shaped device that claims to be a complete computer. The host highlights that the keyboard contains 16 GB of RAM and a 256 GB SSD, effectively functioning as a full PC you can use for gaming, watching YouTube, and other everyday tasks, though not at full resolution. It is powered via USB-C and includes a micro HDMI, USB ports, GPIO pins, gigabit Ethernet, and a microSD slot to expand storage or run alternative operating systems. The device also supports Bluetooth 5 and Wi-Fi 5, offering medium-fast wireless connectivity while acknowledging that it is not a typical laptop experience. The form factor emphasizes potential use cases like personal projects or a small home server, while noting practical caveats such as power requirements when plugging in peripherals and the need for an external monitor and input devices. With a price tag around $410, the device is framed as a niche, creative computing option rather than a mainstream laptop replacement, and the review calls out the tactile clickiness of the blue Gateron switches as a personality detail of the keyboard. Overall, the video blends product spec, use-case scenarios, and price considerations to assess whether this keyboard computer delivers genuine value beyond novelty.
