Welp, this is going to be a day 1 purchase for me. My home desk is minuscule and this may be just what I need for the space. Now I just need to decide if I'm bringing my own switches and caps.

Very interesting, indeed... Let's see the price and the rest of the features, but I am very interested in this device.

 

[TiborM]

Wow. Hot stuff

Hope this release goes well because I really want fiio to make a full size /98% variant

Love this!!! I would love to see a full sized variant.

Oh my. What a perfect combo. I never thought of this.

We now need a mouse that acts as a DAP.

Interesting idea. I have a Mode Sonnet keyboard and a Fiio KA5 sitting on the desk beside it, as I have limited space for a dac/amp.

Don’t think that I could give up the build quality of the Mode Sonnet though.

 

[Lindholdt]

That's actually pretty interesting

For those who are interested, here's the link to the KB3 on FiiO's aliexpress store. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806059401850.html

I'll likely be holding out for the switch-less version shown in this promo video.

This is actually super cool. I'm possibly in the market, as I recently gave up on using my Razer Huntsman analog mechanical keyboard. The analog aspect caused more trouble than it was worth(for instance, with some games I couldn't use a controller. Because the game detected my keyboard as the default "controller" and wouldn't accept inputs from other controllers). I've also been thinking I don't need a full keyboard layout like I'm using now, I'd rather have the space. I don't really need the audio side of this keyboard but of course the audio nerd in me wants it.

And I'm sure this will sound stupid, but I'm wondering how loud this keyboard is gonna be. The Huntsman was like a typewriter.

I take it this is going to be ANSI only?

Just like Moondrop with their keyboard, no love for a very large chunk of the population that use ISO layout.

I'll have to pass on this.

Hmm - no XMOS chip? Is that going to be an issue when syncing audio to video or gaming?

Dear friend,

The product manager says there will not be the problem you mentioned. So please don't worry.
