The Ficihip multifunction mechanical keyboard appears to be a full-fledged PC (or cyberdeck). However, it's really more of an all-in-one computer accessory with a mechanical keyboard and integrated touchscreen display. You may connect it to a computer for extra screen space and support for keyboard and touch input. The Ficihip multifunction keyboard, which was originally launched via a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign last summer, is now available on Amazon. It will cost you money, however.

Ficihip features a 12.6 inch, 1920 x 515 pixel ultra-wide display with a 60 Hz refresh rate and support for 10-point multitouch input. Or single-point touch when used with macOS devices. It is equipped with a 71-key mechanical keyboard with RGB backlit keys, user-replaceable key caps, and backlighting with support for adjustable color and brightness.

It looks like the switches are also user replaceable, with blue, brown, and red key switches supported by K2 Gateron switches on the keyboard... However, it's uncertain which style is available as a pre-installed option from Amazon.

The keyboard/display is compatible with a computer, smartphone, or tablet via a USB-C connection. There's also an HDMI to USB-C converter for use with computers that don't feature video output over USB-C but do have HDMI output. The keyboard includes two additional USB 2.0 Type-A ports that may be used to connect a wired mouse, storage devices, or other accessories (as long as high-speed data transfers aren't required).

The Ficihip multipurpose keyboard is about 3 pounds and measures approximately 13.2″ x 9.2″ x 1.2′′. There's also a kickstand at the rear with which you can angle the keyboard so that the back is higher than the front (which may make typing more comfortable and the display more readily visible). The multifunctional keyboard has a suggested retail $259.00. It's currently on sale for $30 off, but that's still an inflated markup over last year's crowdfunding offer of $210 during which time it was offered at a discount.
