Keyboards that feature a screen or even a touchscreen are already broadly available, such as the Corsair Galleon 100 SD. Such keyboards can not only display user-specific information but also execute macros. In this context, the Womier DUO87 is a modular keyboard with both a touchscreen and a optionally mountable numeric keypad. Figurines can also be inserted into this modular port, but these are for aesthetic purposes only and offer no practical value.
Design & Display
According to the manufacturer, various plugins can be used, which can make operation beneficial in productive contexts such as word processing. The advantage of a touchscreen compared to macro keys is, of course, that users can see which functions they are activating, and the icons can be customized to their preferences. A corresponding plugin store is planned, so users won't have to define the macros themselves. The touchscreen can also be used independently of the keyboard if desired.
Software & Plugins
This is a mechanical keyboard available with two different switches. Both come pre-lubricated, ensuring optimal responsiveness. As part of the crowdfunding campaign, the model is currently available for just $99. As always, crowdfunding campaigns harbour certain risks, including the eventuality that the final product may work differently than advertised or may not make it to market at all.
