Where does that weird Win- and Android only compatibility come from? Will have to pass :(

[-] _spiffy@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago

Probably because their macro software doesn't support other OSes. Bummer!

Yeah, that's unusual. I mean, gaming is their target audience, and nearly all PC gamers have a Windows PC, but still. I'm sure plenty of people who use Mac or Linux at work would love an NES-themed keyboard.

I have an 8bitdo controller and arcade stick, and they're fantastic. If this keyboard used QMK, it would be a must-have for me.

Ah, no Linux? Damn.

Edit: US only though, that's means I can't give it to the person that I know would else appreciate it.

I'm sure it will work on anything, I bet that translates to "don't ask for help on BeOS."

That probably has to do with the software. It's a wireless keyboard, so it doesn't support VIA and uses its own proprietary software instead, which probably won't work in Linux or MacOS.

Thanks for the explanation!

Good to see more and more bigger manufacturers jumping into keyboard game.

Nothing leading up to this point could have clued me in to the fact that I exist in the timeline where a retro controller manufacturer also makes a mechanical keyboard

and that I'd like it

Oh, please, yes, take my money!!!

Aw man i woulda traded those giant buttons for a keypad instead, still cool as hell though

It has to also work on other OS’s though, right?? It’s priced quite reasonably, I wonder what the build quality is like?
