In order to customise and configure the keyboard, the provided Flux Polymath software must be used. However, once a configuration is loaded onto the keyboard’s on-board memory it can be used even on computers that do not have the Flux Polymath software installed. Shortcuts and custom macros consisting of combination keypresses will also still function as well as manual switching between profiles. However, more advanced functionality such as automatic layout switching based on the active window and certain application specific features such as album art and track information for music will not be available if the utility is not installed.
Due to the position of the sensors ortho layouts will not be available. We hope to do a separate ortho split model in the future and the best way to make that happen is to let people know about this product.
Analog hall effect sensors are the best type of sensors for gaming as they allow for adjustable actuation point and rapid trigger functionality which provides some advantages for rapid direction changes or in rhythm games. Polling rate is 1000hz with 1-2ms latency, however the performance may exceed higher polling keyboards as most real world latency comes from the key travel time and debounce.
The keys contain magnets along their perimeter which are attracted by magnets in the frame which surrounds them. This magnetic attraction suspends them in place and provides the return force which makes the key bounce back after depressing – similar to a spring.
No, the keyboard does not function as a touchscreen. This means there is no accidental actuation from resting fingers on the keys.
No, the keyboard is not recognised as a display device by the host computer operating system. It is driven by its own independent efficient embedded microprocessor to provide a more seamless user experience and compatibility with more devices. Also your mouse cursor will never get lost on your keyboard.
No, there is a mechanical end stop built into the frame which prevents keys from hitting the screen.
You will need 1x USB-A or USB-C 2.0 with a minimum power delivery of 5V 1.5A. If you plan to use additional peripherals connected to the keyboard 5V 3A is recommended. The keyboard features a USB-C receptacle for removable cable. If your computer’s USB ports are unable to provide this, a 5V 3A USB-C power supply/charger (sold separately) can be used along with the included USB Y cable.
Yes you can play video files on this, there is 8GB of inbuilt storage for wallpapers and icons. You can easily fit a few 1080p feature length films.
The removable frame allows easy access to the gaps under the keys where dirt generally gathers on a normal keyboard, making cleaning much easier. The frame itself is also totally passive with no electronics within it.
The Flux Keyboard is infinitely customisable, any image or video can be used as a wallpaper with some interactive styles as well. The key legends/symbols and mapping are also completely customisable with support for macros.
Frames will be available in:
- ANSI 84 Key layout
- ISO 85 Key layout
The keyboard’s base is compatible with any frame, so it is possible to swap between these layouts if you wanted to.
At launch two switch types will be available:
- Tactile 55g
- Linear 45g
The weight can be modified by changing the magnets to magnets of a different strength grade and more varieties are planned to be made available in the future.
