A note to the moderators

This is a new article. Be gentle with it. The only reason I haven't finished it was because it is 2:30 in the morning.

I tried not to be so "Linus Tech Tips" about it, but this keyboard is a behemoth of features and specifications. I used the [[Ficihp K2 keyboard]] article as a template for writing this because every experience I've had with this device so far feels like it was an improvement or upgrade and for the $370 price I paid for this thing (of which I am not a professional YouTuber or tech reviewer), it better be worth it! So far it hasn't disappointed except for being a major power draw on any device it is plugged into. (Blame the RGB for that.) But there are things on this device that I didn't know could be put on a keyboard. (The M.2 SSD and the nearly 5 pound weight on this device! I think I'd rather have a kitten in my lap.)

So don't toss out this article just because it was just posted. There's a lot more that needs to be added, not just by me but hopefully the community that is a little more hardware savvy.

Hi :)
Don't worry, contrarily to what you might have heard, we don't throw the baby with the bathwater (see Special:NewPages, we had 22 new pages (excluding translations) in the last 3 months, of which only 3 got moved to userspace).
Take the time you need :P

Thanks, Erus. There's just a lot to unpack just for one keyboard. This thing has almost everything except the kitchen sink, but when I saw it I knew I had to get it, especially to see how it run with my GPD MicroPC for cyberdeck stuff. I might consider using a different computer with a little more power considering the power draw this keyboard has. (10 watts!) I think it will be interesting seeing what devices can work with it. I need to find one of those "sitck" computers and a power bank to see if this thing can run as a primary I/O device since it has a M.2 SSD and a lot of ports on it.
