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.
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.
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.
