- Rakeydo has no previous products, which raises concerns about the credibility of project execution
- Integrated Intel N150 processor may have difficulty demanding work level tasks
- The ports include USB, HDMI, type C and audio for flexible connections
A mechanical keyboard with an integrated mini PC has quickly attracted attention to Kickstarter, reaching its financing objective in just seven hours.
The project, called “keyboard PC all in one” by its developer Rakeydo, presents a new approach to desktop computing.
It combines a mechanical keyboard and a compact computer in a single unit, with the objective of providing a performance at work station in a space fraction.
Quick Financing Interest of sparks
However, despite early enthusiasm, potential buyers may need to weigh the risks and practical aspects before committing funds with a crowdfunding campaign of $ 500.
The Rakeydo device integrates an Intel N150 processor within a 66 -key mechanical keyboard.
The keyboard uses receptive red switches, RGB backlight with nine lighting effects and comes in a black and pink scheme.
Their storage options vary from 512GB to 2TB, with all the models that offer 16 GB of RAM and Windows 11 pro pre -installed.
The unit also supports multiple ports, including USB, HDMI, type C of full function and a 3.5 mm audio connector, which enables connections to monitors, televisions, projectors or peripherals without adapters.
Its motherboard for laptops and its double copper heat are designed for silent cooling under heavy work loads.
When integrating a mini PC on a keyboard, Rakeydo positions the device as a portable commercial PC and a mobile work station.
According to the campaign, connect the keyboard to a monitor or television instantly creates a complete desktop environment.
The company states that the product adapts to tasks such as coding, office work, graphic design of light or even virtual reality applications.
These promises place it in competition with compact systems such as the Raspberry Pi 400 or the Orange Pi 800, while recalling computers all in one as the commodore 64.
While specifications and versatility can attract enthusiasts, the lack of Rakeydo of a proven history raises concerns.
The company has not completed any previous project or published other products. While I would like to run the risk, the choice of an Intel N150 processor also limits its appeal.
Kickstarter campaigns often imply unpredictable delays or design commitments, and there is no guarantee that this keyboard PC hybrid delivers a desktop class performance equal to their statements.
At the time of writing, the Kickstarter had already attracted 38 sponsors, raising $ 14,928, which is 746.4% of its $ 2,000 goal.
