The team behind its creation announced that the Das 5Q keyboard is now available for pre-order and is priced at $229.
The new keyboard is designed to take the standard QWERTY keyboard to the next level.
A company spokesperson said: "Do you think of keyboards as just input devices? With this project, we're redefining the way we use keyboards by adding an output function. You can now use them as a dashboard as well.".
The Das 5Q Keyboard is a cloud-connected, open API RGB mechanical keyboard that allows every key to be controlled over the internet. It is built with innovative electronic technology that provides superior RGB LED brightness and unsurpassed response time.
Have you often found yourself with millions of browser tabs open, constantly switching between frames to keep up with project status, weather information, and other useful information? This can reduce your productivity. It's common knowledge, but you can't do anything about it, because you're simply forced to. You want to do too many things at once, and there's absolutely no way to stop it.
So, as you work on solving your problems on your giant screen, now you won’t have to search or click or do anything to find out what’s going on. The information is right there on your keyboard. You can see it without even looking at it. Thanks to your peripheral vision, you are able to see what’s on your desk when you look at your screen. Now you are able to close all those browser tabs and really focus on a specific task, while the information flows directly from your Das 5Q keyboard into your enlightened consciousness!”
