The retail price of the keyboard will be $ 249, to sell a miracle of technology will start in January 2017.
Known American company with a simple and clear title Das Keyboard is one of the manufacturers, popularitati mechanical keyboard among ordinary users of the personal computer. Emphasis is not only on price, but on innovation, engineers Das Keyboard does not sit still, constantly developing and modifying its products, therefore, launched a Kickstarter campaign with the goal of raising funds to release a new mechanical keyboard with smart backlight, capable of transmitting received from various online services information to the user.
Now each key of the keyboard will be configured in a special way using a special application. For example, you can assign to a button W purple color in case you write a work email, but M ask to glow green if the messenger writes the new message. Moreover, the developers claim that the keyboard will be able to interact similarly with different online services, for example, eBay, IFTTT and many others. Full and individual RGB backlit keys allows you to assign specific colors not just one, but even a whole group of buttons.
The keyboard is called 5Q, and specially for it was developed a programming interface that allows the user to extend the functionality of the keyboard independently. In the process of creating a website which will combine achievements of the community.
The novelty will receive not only beautiful lighting and software new things. Specially for the new company Omron developed a new and very quiet mechanical switches, which are called Gamma Zulu. This same firm is doing the Romer G switches for Logitech. Externally button 5Q indistinguishable from Romer, but the new “cloud” keyboard from Das Keyboard switches. The keys themselves also undergo some changes and become very non-standard, so just go and replace a broken key with another will not work — will have to order a new one from the manufacturer. Do not forget to reassign the notification from the mail delivery service to another, working key.
The sum of 100 000 US dollars have already been collected, moreover, at the time of writing this post, she has almost tripled, so the keyboard probably started to do. Yet you can grab new for $ 139 on the rights of the “early birds”, but this offer will end soon. The retail price of the keyboard will be $ 249, to sell a miracle of technology will start in January 2017.
