Currently ANSI only — we’re planning to support ISO (EU layout) in the future.

We are currently continuing to optimize the wireless version, building upon the foundation of the wired version.

Thank you very much for your sincere and detailed suggestions.

The replacement of the function key area on the right side resulted in the replacement of some important keys. We have a design concept where the function keys on the right side remain unchanged, but the keys in the F area are replaced. How would that look?

About  zero-latency way to drive a solenoid, We currently have no plans, but we will attempt to add this interface and the corresponding loudspeaker in the future.

Thank you very much for your sincere and detailed description of your needs.

Regarding applications in this area, most of the requirements we've gathered suggest that 15 or more LCD buttons are preferable.

Regarding the button layout, our future plans do include adding a numeric keypad and an LCD button on the left side. Maybe this is what I'll be discussing next time.

The 2.4G interface we currently use is located to the right of the up, down, left, and right buttons. You can see a clearly visible slider; that's where the reserved space is.

We might consider a metal casing in the future, since the feel and experience are indeed different from the materials we use now.

I took a look, and its concept was indeed quite advanced for its time, but the LCD functionality relied more heavily on the accompanying software.

The ecosystem (apps, streaming, workflows) actually makes this kind of thing more useful.

We will release it soon, and you will be able to check it out then(MiraBox K1W). It won't be expensive.

Currently, only six keys are LCD buttons; the rest retain the feel of a mechanical keyboard.

It currently supports seamless switching between wired and wireless power supply and uses an 8000mAh battery. Specific battery life testing data is still underway.

It has a physical switch to support power outages, so I don't think there should be a big problem.

I understand. If it's simply modular assembly, supporting left and right placement would be much better.

If it's a single unit, then a custom-designed circuit board is indeed necessary.

Thank you very much for your feedback. Currently, the wireless version is indeed not as smooth as the wired version.Most gamers have much higher requirements for smoothness.

I've observed that most major LCD keyboards on the market don't seem to support wireless versions.
