Machenike KT84 dual-screen mechanical keyboard unveiled

The Machenike KT84 keyboard that was announced six months ago is finally available. It features a wide range of RGB backlight settings and two built-in screens. It quickly raised the required amount of money on Kickstarter.

The keyboard has 84 keys with clear keycaps and a choice of Gateron North Pole 2.0 Yellow or White hot-swappable switches. There’s also a rotary volume control. The manufacturer says it uses a Gasket Mount and has multiple layers of noise reduction.

Above the keys is an elongated 6.9-inch, 490-pixel screen. It can display various text, animations, or simply glow along with the keys. A total of 20 glow modes are supported and there is also synchronization with music. In the upper right corner is another 1.47-inch TFT display that shows the time, weather, keyboard settings and various system parameters.

The keyboard has an 8000 mAh battery inside, which allows it to be used wirelessly. There’s also Bluetooth and 2.4GHz connectivity.

The keyboard is priced at $199 (17 390 rubles) as part of a campaign on Kickstarter, and will retail for $249 (21 755 rubles). Deliveries are expected in September.
