The akp815 is a macrokey keyboard. The picture in the previous post is misleading.
Actually, I mean, smartkeyboard something like a TouchBar.
It must does most the functions of a Touchbar. Its improvement is that it has changed from a slender strip at the top to a rectangular touchscreen in the center of the keyboard.
Why here? It is the area where the fingers move the smaller distance, it is easy to form muscle memory, easy to type blindly. Not any more, adjust the field of view back and forth. Too hard.
The Touch Bar is a cool invention. For example, contextually display. It alters what digital buttons and images depending on the open program and the task at hand. That's smart. Now that AI technology is easy to implement.
The picture is a sample Emcs or Vim editor, cursor movement. You can do more, entering unicode symbol, emulating an IBM red dot mouse, sketching, handwriting recognition, timeline and knob manipulation.
The hardware only about 50~100 US$. It just requires an MCU, USB knowledge, touchscreen. Any Keyboard Layout.
Is anyone else interested in it?
