I think that for 70 bucks they could have at least included a usb hub in the keyboard.

A new experience for those of us at our house who use corded keyboards. My partner tells me the most recent update on his MacOS has rendered his OEM Apple keyboard nearly useless.
We scrounged one OEM Apple wireless keyboard and he’s now trying it out to see if that will suffice.
Apple has been notified of the issue. Jah knows if they plan on fixing it…
Typing this on a 2011 MacBook Pro that hasn’t been updated since High Sierra. (I don’t do anything on this machine that requires a secure connection or frankly secure anything.) Still works ok enough.

Title misread by me as Chinese board. I spent several moments in “WTF?”-land over that until I followed the link.

Posting my keyboard purchase since @Abe_the_honest is giving me guff 
(i kid)
I got this last night on impulse
I’ve been pondering for a while that I would like to replace my logitech keyboard. There’s nothing wrong with it per se but I’ve been dissatisfied with them as a company. I ended up getting the RK ROYAL KLUDGE S98 from the Amzuul sale. I’m not familiar with the brand, but I’m a sucker for aesthetics and I liked the look of it and I have been lowkey wanting a keyboard that can be used wired/wireless, with a little screen on it, and a physical volume knob. My perfect keyboard though would also be 100% layout but very few, if any are made that hit all of my likes so I compromised and get a 96% one.
The reviews for it look good, some people seem to dislike the software and how fiddly it is to use custom gifs for the screen. Hoping I can figure it out.

These tend to be “generic” chinese keyboards, usually running some kind of custom TKL-firmware. They are not bad per se, but software always tends to be the weakest link – and nonexistent Linux support, so if you want to configure it, you need to do it from a Windows PC, though this affects most brands, big and small.
Having said that, it looks good :3
BAD PANDA!

Thankfully i only work on Windows OS so that much isn’t really a barrier for me. Review-wise though people seemed to like the overall build and the typing feel. I also like that the switches are hot swappable, i doubt i’d want to change the switches on it but its good to have the option.

I got my new keyboard delivered a little while ago. Little bit sad to see the old one go but it’s a Logitech keyboard so I’m not that sad.
It’s a little bit of an adjustment, but I do love the thwocky, creamy sound of the keys. Looks really pretty and I like the height and weight of it. I did switch over some artisan keycaps from the old keyboard. Also temporarily removed my large desk mat because it really needed to be washed clean.
I will stubbornly hold on to my g502 mouse. Don’t @ me about it

I managed to get the gif working on the little keyboard screen, it’s not too hard thankfully.
Also this brings me so much joy, I gotta find more gifs

You need an appropriate one.

At first I didn’t understand what the little screen would be used for, but now I’m all like

It does have some other functionality, but lets be honest here. I got it for the gifs.

Am I reading the blurb wrong? A 7kg enclosure? Reminds me of the old Sun 2 keyboard - if you dropped it on your foot, you could do some serious damage.
Of course, who hasn’t wanted to have a heavy object easily at hand when working?

Honestly if I could afford the nearly $600 price tag I would totally buy it

Better hurry - after pre-order, the price goes up to $1000. There are things in this world I would pay $1000 for, but a keyboard ain’t one of 'em.

Well, i guess it would depend of the keyboard. For a Fender Rodhes Keyboard I would
