But it has a slow screen refresh rate, which makes it less than ideal for watching videos, playing games, or other actions.

I love how this is one of the first criticisms, as if that wasn't the entire point of this device.

MediaTek

Ah yes, I forgot THAT'S why I didn't go for this thing.

I just watched the video in the article, and the slow refresh rate also makes the touch controls frustratingly unresponsive. I love the concept, and might be interested in the next generation of this device, but the poor responsiveness is a deal breaker.

And you have to hold down the shift or Fn while hitting the desired key. Like a freaking desktop keyboard. No sticky. Wtf is up with that?

Yep, for numbers, too. Like, I need two thumbs and bifocals to dial a phone number.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yup. Definitely an awful design choice.

Pretty sure you can enable sticky keys on any keyboard in the settings. It's Android 14 and sticky keys is in the settings.

Yeah but it's a hardware keyboard, not a screen-keyboard. I am not saying that means it won't work - I definitely don't know - but it's conspicuous they focused on it briefly. SHRUG lol I'm sure there will be a hack for it if it doesn't already behave how people want.

The setting works on Bluetooth or plug in keyboards where you use a dongle.

Edit yeah I think the dude that made the video doesn't know that setting exists

Ah. Makes sense.
