Customer Reviews
With the transparent keys and the display the KT68 with smart screen leaves quite an impression only looking at it.
I am using it for gaming and a bit for coding. Typing with the switches is quite reactive, precise, pleasing and very quiet.
The smart screen presets could get old soon, so it is good that you have a designer module for individual screens supplied with the software.
What could be better:
The software to program the smart screen is linked on the Whatgeek website - strangely the manufacturer’s website is not providing support (yet).
For the basics the software is okay, if you want to go to details it is quite lacking and a bit unergonomic. Specifically a programable interface to get information from your OS or software onto the screen would be nice.
English translation is okayish, the best Google Translate could do, I guess.
The individual lighting of keys is a must and it works great, but the space key is weakly lighted with only one led like the normal keys.
The lights for Bluetooth, caps lock and battery status are surprisingly hidden (!) by the cover next to the smart screen. You can make them out looking at an angle below the plate, but it is a wrong design decision from usability’s perspective.
All in all it is good fun, very usable and an impressive piece of peripheral with a pleasantly small desk footprint. Recommended!
Super awesome keyboard! I was a bit worried because the shipping company had horrible reviews but it came safe and in a timely manner! As for the keyboard, the switches are fantastic! The space bar feels a little loose and the stabilizers in the space bar wiggle a little but not a big enough deal to complain about it! I love how it feels and it looks even better in person :))
awesome keyboard, and the LED screen support editing, cool for it.
