Welcome friends once again to TV Box stop,
the one place for the best reviews in TV boxes mini PCs and accessories.
What if you had a portable touchscreen monitor with built-in USB ports
combined with an RGB mechanical keyboard compact into one device.
Imagine the things you can do, the places you can go,
and the various ways you can apply such a device?
Introducing the FICHIP RGB mechanical keyboard with built-in touchscreen display.
This device can be used on desktop PCs, laptops, mobile phones,
tablets, TV boxes, mini-PCs, and any device that has an HDMI or Type C display output.
In this review we’ll look at its unique design and features
and a few ways you can use it for personal use, business, and for entertainment.
So stay tuned.
And welcome back. In this package contains the mechanical keyboard
touchscreen combination device itself.
You get what they call a TRTY, which is simply a wrist pad To use while typing on flat surfaces.
You get one type C to type C cable. A USB type C to HDMI and USB adapter cable.
You get a key puller, in the event you need to replace keys on the mechanical keyboard.
You get a soft suede material carrying case. And a multi-language user manual.
To the front of the keyboard is where you will
find a full RGB mechanical keyboard layout with switchable Gateron keys.
And to the top you have a 12.6 inches 1920 x 515p LCD touchscreen display.
To the top edge of the keyboard you have a type C display input port, to USB ports, a power button,
and LED power light, and plus and minus buttons for adjusting the brightness of the backlight,
and for navigating the settings menu of the monitor.
The RGB feature on the keyboard is programmable
and if you refer to the user manual you will find various key commands to adjust its speed,
color patterns, and brightness. There is also the option to turn it off.
This is K2 model comes with switchable K2 Gateron keys, and in this model it has the blue clickety
keys that presents a strong keystroke feeling. You can use the brown colored key type for office and
light gaming that provides a gentle keystroke, and red keys for a much quieter low-profile layout.
And below the keyboard it has a four antiskid rubber pads,
and a pair of outriggers to tilt the keyboard forward.
So I’ll now try it on a couple of devices and continue.
The first and obvious way to use it, is with your mobile phone or tablet.
If your cell phone or tablet as a type C display port you can use it to mirror your screen,
or if your device has a desktop mode such as Samsung Dex or EMUI you can enter into
desktop mode and convert your mobile device into an Android desktop touchscreen computer.
This is done by using the included type C to type C cable, with one end
connected to the Type C port on your mobile device and the other end to the keyboard itself.
With reverse charging, your phone will power its display and RGB keyboard functions.
While this may appear convenient, it will also drain your phone’s battery,
so it’s advised that you use the assistance of a USB type C hub that has a charging port, along
with a power adapter that has adequate wattage to charge the phone and keyboard simultaneously.
For this demonstration I’m using the Choetech 7-in-1 type C hub,
along with a power supply that can provide over 4W of power to manage both devices.
When applied like this, you can use the keyboard connected to your mobile
device for an extended period of time without draining your phone’s battery.
When connected to your mobile phone in desktop mode you get touchscreen functions on the display
as well as keyboard functions. The only downside is that it does not have built-in
speakers and audio will instead have to be played through your mobile device.
I will now do a quick demonstration so that you can view the quality of its display
and touchscreen functionality.
Another way this keyboard touchscreen combo can come in handy is on Windows devices that does not
have a display or included keyboard and mouse such as Windows mini-PCs. Most times when you
purchase a Windows mini-PC you also will have to purchase a keyboard and mouse to go with it.
With this multi-function keyboard connected to your Windows mini-PC
you get an all-in-one solution to navigate Windows.
If your mini-PC as it type C display port like this one, it only requires the type C to type
C cable to power and access all functions of the keyboard Including its USB ports. If it does not
have a type C display port, then you would have to use the included HDMI to type C adapter which
requires you connect the two USB cables to provide power and to extend USB functions to the keyboard.
When connected to a mini-PC you can use it for both to work and entertainment
accessing your office applications, files, and the social media accounts.
For audio you will have to connect a pair of desktop speakers to its headphone jack,
or you can use a Bluetooth speaker.
So here I am running different office applications and they all
work with touchscreen and keyboard functions within the limited window without issues.
The blue Gateron keys produces a clickety sound when typing
a feature that welcome by some users, however
you can customize and switch these keys to a much softer lower profile, by purchasing separately.
For audio I paired my Bluetooth speaker to the mini-PC
and this solves the issue of no internal speaker on the keyboard.
So I saved the best for last. The most interesting and exciting feature with this keyboard,
is when you use it on an Android TV Box.
Never before have I ever achieved touchscreen feature on a TV Box until now.
With the FICHIP mechanical keyboard connected to your TV Box
you can navigate as well as play Android games with touchscreen controls. Something
I could only achieve by using a keymapping app and that was for only playing games.
And finally the keyboard comes with options to adjust the display of the monitor,
similar to that found on full-fledged portable monitors.
Using the power button to access the menu, and using the plus or
minus buttons to navigate and adjust your various color and brightness settings.
The power button functions as an enter and return button,
and the plus and minus buttons function as up and down and left and right to adjust a setting.
So viewers this brings to an end of my review. I think it’s an amazing product
and provides features some might find very useful in their everyday lives. My only wish is that it
had built-in speakers and the screen had a 45° tilt feature for when placed on flat surfaces.
