Following the YUNZII AL65 QMK/VIA aluminium keyboard showcased at this year's CES show, YUNZII recently announced the AL80 QMK/VIA aluminium LCD mechanical keyboard as its latest addition to the AL series. The keyboard is built around an anodized aluminium frame with a gasket structure and features a built-in LCD screen to show various content like time, battery level, and pictures. It also includes a fully customizable control knob. Regarding connectivity, it offers Bluetooth, 2.4G, and USB Type-C, linking up to five devices across Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS. The YUNZII AL80 supports QMK/VIA customization, offering users the ability to program keys, create macros, and adjust RGB settings.

It includes hot-swappable switch slots that work with 3-pin and 5-pin switches from various brands such as Gateron or Cherry (if ordered from the YUNZII website, users can choose between Gateron Zero Linear or YUNZII Cocoa Cream V2 Linear switches). The keyboard comes with pre-lubed linear switches and uses a gasket-mounted design with several noise-reducing layers. A 6000mAh battery powers the device, which includes an RGB lighting system offering 1.68 million colors and more than 20 backlight options. The YUNZII AL80 QMK/VIA aluminium LCD Mechanical Keyboard is available in three variants (Silver, Black, and Beige) and has a price of $109.99.

Yunzii has a thing for itty bitty lcd screens and just smaller than full size for some reason. I've got a IF99 sitting on a shelf... it's pretty nice but I just don't like smallish keyboards either and really don't care about 1x1 inch gifs.

I had G15(07 revision) and G13 both came with LCD screens and they actually were very useful granted they had their own set of buttons for operation.

Yunzii has a thing for itty bitty lcd screens and just smaller than full size for some reason.
The reason is, that full size is not really a popular form factor in the keyboard scene. Especially not for stuff marketed for gaming, as the num pad on the right only takes up valuable mousing space, and forces you to have a less comfortable/healthy posture when you are using your mouse (if you are right handed anyways), as your right arm/hand is further out from the center of your body (asymmetric posture).
