Whilst this is going to cost a fortune, hopefully normal USB keyboard integration is on the way and upcoming games will integrate support as standard.

Why do I say hopefully? Because if PC component suppliers keep on this path they're on, I will be priced out of the PC gaming market. I simply won't see it as being worth the money. This will result in me considering strongly buying a console as a cheaper way of gaming, especially if I can use a mouse and keyboard. I can't use console controllers properly at all. When you consider my last GPU alone cost almost the same as an entire console set up (which will have easier access to VR as well if you're so inclined), you start seriously debating the merits of PC gaming.

For me, at the moment, a PC is still worth it for the other uses as well but its time is coming.

I'm trying to work out why it's so chunky in it's design.... there are so many 'lapboards' out there already and many of them are considerably sleeker than the one shown here.

I think it's the over the top gamer design they think all gamers want. Like laptops with vents that look like a F35 for no good reason and so on. I suspect they did some market research and found this kind of big, chunky, manly, "I'm not compensating for anything, honestly" design is most popular.

you would think that a console has no need for F(unction) keys and all the ancillary stuff we have gathered over the years.
You know, add random new keys and make the key codes totally different so people have to buy the expensive hardware, I really think they missed a trick there.

Also, its prob that thick to cope with the inevitable rage quits and launching it across the room.

There's a certain satisfaction in belting a keyboard so hard with a flobby gel wrist rest and watching the keys bounce off the ceiling. Also is a good way of learning exactly where the keys live on the keyboard when you have to reassemble it.

so hard with a flobby gel wrist rest

Is that what we are calling them these days
