What do you mean e-waste keyboards?

[–] stray@pawb.social 3 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

If a new PC comes with a keyboard and my old PC also came with a keyboard, one of those keyboards is excessive and will probably end up in the trash as society is overwhelmed by everyone's excess keyboards. It's why phones have to all use the same charger now, and they don't come with a cable.

But this is supposed to be a console like all in one device. If the Steam verified program gives a game verified badge for a keyboard centric game, and it does not come with keyboard and mouse, then its simply wrong rated. And I think the verified rating should take this into account and do not verify such games. That is my point I was making.

It doesn't come with a controller either. You don't have to use their controller, so it's good that it's an optional purchase.

They used to sell PCs with a keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, and various software all without the option to buy just the PC. It was awful because it made the machine more expensive for the consumer, and it also generated a ton of waste.

It doesn’t come with a controller either.

Is this official information or a prediction?
