Ajazz had a brisk show in its Computex 2024 booth, with the main attractions being keyboards with large touchscreens. The first one is a low-profile mechanical keyboard with a 5-inch (well, 4.9-inch) true-color capacitive touchscreen. The keyboard has physical dimensions comparable to the 85% format, but has a 75% layout, with that touchscreen located where you'd expect the Numpad to be. But that's not the strangest contraption, it's actually the Smart Screen Mechanical keyboard. This is also a 75% keyboard, but with a 10.1-inch rectangular screen with a crazy aspect ratio. You plug the keyboard to your PC, and this display as an HDMI device, and basically give yourself a second screen that prove useful for mapping macros in games, or even during creative work. It's just that the keyboard looks like a computer from the 1980s.

Perhaps the most interesting aspect about these keyboards with touchscreens, is that they're not all that expensive. The keyboard with the 10.1-inch screen, for example, is priced under $50. It's quite possible to pull off these prices if you're digging into the spare parts bins of smartphones. Don't need the big touchscreens? Ajazz has one with a tiny LED segment display.



Next up, Ajazz showed us their Magnesium Alloy gaming mouse, which as their name suggests, uses a magnesium alloy frame body, which is lightweight, and with good tensile strength. If you don't need the frame to stay open and gather dirt, a plastic outer shroud is included. Lastly, there were two control decks from Ajazz targeting game streamers and creators. The first one has 15 buttons in a 5x3 layout, with a vertical infobar; while the second one has 12 buttons in a 4x3 layout, flanked by two vertical infobars, six programmable rotary knobs, and six opaque programmable buttons below.

I know Radio Smack/Tandy Corp went the way of the dodo in the past few years, but maybe they still have a few grubby lawyers sitting on their duffs that could persue this ??

And, for those to young or old to remember, here's a quick history lesson:

I read "Magnesium Mouse" and thought: "Finally! Someone got the right idea."
Then, I saw *that*... Just doubling-up on problems.

I don't get it?
If the mouse is only contacting the surface on 3-7 pads, and the whole idea is to make the whole assembly as light as possible
-why is everyone subtracting material from the top? Wouldn't you want the mouse 'on stilts' (basically)?

This is a 60% keyboard with a 10.1-inch rectangular screen with a crazy aspect ratio.
Isn't it supposed to be 75%? (60% usually lack function key row as well as arrows and Home/End/PgUp/PgDn)
Anyway looks like a nice product especially wrt. pricing, hope it's going to be available soon and offer linear switch variant.

Yep! 75% is my favorite layout (not sacrificing the arrow keys to a layer like on 60%)

Very excited to see if this comes out at the expected price point (in blues of course!)
