This mechanical keyboard with a touchscreen monitor could be the perfect partner for my smartphone - shame it has two major pitfalls Date: Tue, 17 Jun 2025 17:35:00 +0000 Description: This travel-ready keyboard has a built-in 13-inch touchscreen and works with laptops, desktops, and USB-C phones. FULL STORY ======================================================================Keyview 13" Touch is a mechanical keyboard with a built-in 13-inch touchscreen It works with phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, and even game consoles Theres no battery or touchpad unfortunately, so you'll need to provide power and a mouse The Keyview 13" Touch, from Aura Displays, is a compact 82-key mechanical keyboard (83 keys for the UK version) with a fun, and useful twist - it has an integrated 13-inch touchscreen attached. This isnt the first product of its kind weve seen - weve previously covered the Maxfree K3 and the Thanko mechanical keyboard with a 10-inch monitor , both of which offer the same blend of keyboard and display in one unit. Weve also encountered various DIY projects that produced laptops without displays, as well as notebook docking stations with built-in screens, but few of those have been as polished or feature-packed as this. RGB lighting and custom shortcuts The Keyview 13" Touch's screen folds from 0 to 90 degrees and delivers a 1920 x 720 matte IPS display. It supports full 10-point multitouch and has a wide 178 viewing angle, making it usable for video, docs, or just as a second screen. The keyboard itself uses yellow mechanical switches and PBT keycaps. Its fully customizable, with hot-swappable keys, RGB lighting, and support for custom shortcuts. The device includes USB-C, HDMI, two USB 3.0 ports, an SD/TF slot, and an M2 SSD bay for internal storage expansion. It also supports 60W PD fast charging. Its compatible with macOS, Windows, Android, Linux, and ChromeOS. That means it works with laptops, desktops, full-featured USB-C phones like the Galaxy line, latest iPhones, tablets, and even game consoles. The case is made from aluminum alloy, ABS, and PC plastic. Its solid but weighs 2.12kg, which makes it more of a backpack item than something pocketable. Theres also a built-in speaker, rated at 1W. That's nothing special, but it will be fine for notifications or quick audio tasks. There are a couple of bigger drawbacks, though - theres no battery for starters, so youll need to plug it in every time you want to use it. And theres no touchpad either, so unless your device is touch-capable, youll want to bring a mouse too. Still, for a certain type of user, especially those wanting to turn their phone into a capable workstation, its an unusual and potentially useful option. You can buy it direct from Aura now for $399.00 , 20% off its usual MSRP of $499.
