- Keygo 12.8-inch screen offers sharp visuals despite a compressed 1440p layout for multitasking
- Saxonkwitch keys provide a tactile writing experience suitable for serious work or long sessions
- RGB lighting improves visibility under low-light conditions while allowing personal adjustment
Small external screens have steadily become important to those seeking flexible workflows and improved multitasking functions.
Yanko Design’s new Keygo keyboard merges a 12.8-inch touch screen monitor with a full-size keyboard.
It aims to create a hybrid unit that extends the traditional area of work without requiring a full desktop setup.
A screen built for precision
This concept is ambitious, but its practicalities are limited by the absence of a built -in battery, which means that users must remain connected to a power source for extended use.
The integrated display delivers a resolution of 1920×720 at 60Hz, which could initially raise the eyebrows among those used to conventional 1080p screens.
However, the design compresses essentially a 1440p screen across a wider layout, producing a pixel density that keeps text sharp and visuals reasonably crispy.
For professionals who depend on portable screens or a video editor screen, this width-oriented resolution provides a useful secondary screen for reference material, timelines or messages, although it cannot fully replace a head 4K screen.
The keyboard uses SAKS-Switch keys that offer a responsive typing experience comparable to advanced laptops.
This design minimizes the often criticized “mushy” sense of cheaper devices, enabling quick and accurate entry.
RGB lighting is integrated with three modes that support work in weakly enlightened environments and allow a degree of personalization.
While the visual flair may appeal to players, business users may appreciate the practical by illuminated keys during extended work sessions.
Connection is handled via USB-C, simplifies laptops, tablets or smartphones across Windows and MacOS platforms.
The single cable solution handles both power and data, reducing the clutter and streamlines setup for mobile professionals.
Despite its thin CNC-Machinated aluminum building, which gives it a premium feeling, the device remains somewhat limited by its dependence on external effect.
It also comes with a 180-degree hinge that allows users to orient the touch screen over the keys or stand it fully vertically as another screen.
While Keygo is undergoing ideas reminiscent of Apple’s Touch Bar, it expands the concept of an independent, multi-touch interface.
Pricing begins at $ 538, though the early backers can buy Keygo for $ 249, which represents a 54% discount.
The product also includes global shipping and one year warranty, and the company claims that there are only 23 of 200 units left.
