The Flux Keyboard: A Deep Dive into the Future of High-Tech Peripherals

Boasting infinite customizability, the Flux keyboard is finally the answer to what would happen if you made it a keyboard and a display.

It’s a key display, a discboard, whatever it is, this is just about the coolest thing that I have ever seen.

In addition to allowing the display to be used for dynamic macro assignments, language switching, or just sick vibes, it boasts top tier keyboard specs, too, including a 1,000Hz pulling rate with a claimed 1.2 milliseconds input delay and adjustable actuation points thanks to its analog hall effect switches. Oh, and did I mention that the force of those switches can be changed by swapping out magnets? And that the entire key frame can be taken off and switched to go between linear and tactile feel in just seconds. Not sold yet?

The software allows your key maps to change according to the application you’re using. And Flux even offers an ecosystem of accessories, including extra buttons, extra dials, and even more extra dials for your gaming and productivity pleasure. It even works across Windows, Mac, and mobile OSS with Linux planned for the future. Wait, already available? Can anything possibly live up to all of these promises? Maybe. But it won’t be the Flux keyboard because uh we found some stuff that they claimed that wasn’t quite true. But there’s still a lot to love here.

I mean, look at it. And look at these great new colors of polos available at ltstore.com. And look at this segue to our sponsor, App Control.

over on Floatplane for an even better deal. We’ll have that linked down below. The story of how I got my hands on this thing is actually kind of funny. Reddit user Francene goes boom posted that finally after backing this thing ages ago, his Flux keyboard arrived. So I slid into his DMs and I said, “Hey, can I borrow that to make a video?” And he was like, “Sure.” Said the story was funny. I didn’t say it was long. The base is a solid chunk of machined aluminum. Does that get across the weight? Good gravy. You could kill a man with it. On the bottom, you’ll find two stage angled feet, depending on your preference, as well as the latch mechanism for the key frame, which is the piece that goes on

top and is the frame that holds the keys. Over on the top, we’ve got our main USBC port. Then on both the left and on the right, we’ve got pass through ports for peripherals, storage drives, whatever the case may be. And then in terms of other accessories, we’ve got a dual headed one here. USB type A for data, USB type-C for another greater than 30 watts of recommended power, and then a right angled USBC to go into the keyboard itself because it’s got to power not just a keyboard, but also a flipping display. Well, it doesn’t flip unless you flip it. Now for the part that’s really exciting for me. According to Flux, their key frame uses acrylic to achieve 97% transparency. And wow, that is really

clear. But more importantly, has magnets on the side of each key switch that it uses in place of a more traditional method like a spring to provide the spring force that lifts the keys back up. Because of that, you might use the quick swap mechanism to change it out for one with different force or with a different type of key switch. This is a linear one, but they have a tactile key frame as well. Flux advises against touching the bottom of the key frame at any time because I mean getting fingerprints off of that would be an absolute nightmare and also advises against using any chemical cleaners, even things like alcohol that you might normally use to clean something like a keyboard because uh this is acrylic.

Flux Keyboard Review / Infinite Customization with a Built-In Display

The Flux keyboard offers infinite customization with a built-in display, adjustable actuation points, and swappable magnets for force changes. It features a 1,000Hz polling rate, 1.2ms input delay, and an aluminum frame. The software allows dynamic macro assignments per application. However, the acrylic keycaps are prone to fingerprints and the price is high at $530. Despite some unfulfilled promises, it remains an impressive piece of tech for enthusiasts.
