Introducing the Welder Keyboard
 

Keyboards have always been more than just tools — they’re where our ideas come to life. Yet, despite their tactile feel and ability to express our thoughts, their potential has remained largely untapped.

Monitors have evolved to be more flexible and displays more immersive. So we asked ourselves: what if the keyboard could be just as adaptable?

The result is the Welder Keyboard — a bold fusion of a mechanical keyboard’s satisfying feel and an intelligent touchscreen display. This combination breaks down barriers, letting you type, control, and interact with your work more seamlessly than ever.

Love From Backers

Our last Kickstarter campaign received amazing feedback — and we’re excited to bring you a design that we hope will inspire the same enthusiasm!

Welder Keyboard — Where Function Meets Creativity

The Welder Keyboard breaks all the rules. It fuses a 12.8-inch ultra-thin smart touchscreen with the satisfying feel of a premium mechanical keyboard — in a 180° foldable, ultra-portable design.

Enjoy 18 dynamic RGB lighting modes with 108 combinations (FN + Del to activate, FN + Home to switch) that add vibrant rhythm to your workflow.

Beyond adding a display, we redesigned the lighting layout, optimized power, upgraded to a faster data OGT port, expanded brightness control, one-button start and boosted charging power — all in a sleek CNC-machined aluminum chassis.

More than a productivity tool, it’s a spark of creativity. Experience a smarter, brighter, and more playful way to work.

Welder Keyboard — Type, Touch, and Transform Your Workflow

With broad compatibility across Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android, the Welder Keyboard is the perfect companion for the modern digital nomad. Its integrated 12.8-inch smart touchscreen sits just above the keys, creating a seamless secondary display that enhances both productivity and creativity. Instantly expand your USB-C laptop into a dual-screen powerhouse simplicity—ideal for multitasking, coding, streaming, or managing content.

The responsive touchscreen works hand-in-hand with premium mechanical keys, letting you drag windows, control media, or edit directly on the keyboard display. No cable swapping required—just a smarter, more fluid workflow that transforms how you work and play.

108 RGB Lighting Combinations to Illuminate Your Workflow

The Welder Keyboard brings your desk to life with 18 lighting modes and 108 unique combinations, transforming your workspace into a dynamic visual experience.

Switch lighting modes with FN + DEL and cycle colors with FN + HOME (red, green, blue, yellow, purple, cyan, white, or mixed).

Lighting modes include Steady, Breathing, Rainbow, Instant, Rain, Roulette, Ripples, Stars, Snow, Stream, Wave, Mysterious, Dazzling, Rotating, Waterfall, Game (customizable via driver), and Chord — so you can match the mood to your work or play.

Welder isn’t just for productivity — it turns your setup into an immersive, expressive environment.

108 RGB Effects You Need to See!

Redefining Input: Mechanical Keyboard + Touchscreen in One

Break free from the limits of traditional keyboards! The 12.8-inch fully laminated glass display is seamlessly integrated with a premium mechanical keyboard — giving you a device that’s not just a keyboard, but a touchscreen extension of your workflow.

Swipe to adjust settings, tap to switch apps, drag and drop files with your fingertips — all while enjoying the precision and comfort of mechanical keys.

Two inputs, double the efficiency:

Ten-finger touch + mechanical typing = faster, smoother multitasking

Quiet, precise key switches keep you focused

Touch gestures (swipe, pinch, drag) replace countless mouse clicks

The result? A smarter, more intuitive way to work — letting you flow between typing and touch control effortlessly.

Immersive Visuals: Crisp, Pro-Grade Display

Enjoy a 1920×720 resolution and 80% NTSC color gamut on an IPS dark-state panel. The fully laminated glass removes the “air gap” for ultra-sharp clarity. Whether you’re editing, streaming, or designing, every pixel pops — perfectly synced for a seamless dual-screen workflow.

Experience Seamless Switches

Our keyboard features Satellite-style Sakura switches, which offer a linear design with no noticeable tactile bump, delivering a smooth, lightweight, and meticulously tuned typing experience.

Regarding the specification of the switch, please refer to “Specification

The low-profile linear switches are designed for comfort with three key factors:

Lighter actuation force for effortless keystrokes.

Shorter travel distance compared to standard mechanical switches.

Smooth linear spring curve that minimizes sudden pressure changes.

Together, these features create a comfortable, fatigue-resistant typing experience — superior to both full-height mechanical switches and standard laptop keyboards.

Hot-Swappable & Fully Customizable – Make It Truly Yours

Our keyboard is fully hot-swappable, letting you easily swap out switches and keycaps without soldering. This makes it perfect for backers who love to express their personality and customize their gear.

Choose your favorite patterns, characters, or themes to create a unique look. Want a clean, modern setup? Go with transparent keycaps. Prefer a pop of color? Pick your favorite shades to match your mood or workspace.

With endless combinations of switch types and keycap styles, every backer can craft a keyboard that’s as unique as they are.

Premium CNC Design

Not just another keyboard—crafted from CNC-machined aluminum, it’s slim, solid, and refined, blending professional aesthetics with gaming-grade performance.

180° Foldable Innovation

The world’s first 180° foldable mechanical keyboard with a touchscreen, giving you portability without compromise—carry it like a notebook, open it like a workstation.

Practical Side Interface for Everyday Efficiency

The Welder Keyboard’s side interface is built with practicality in mind. A USB-A OTG data transfer port makes it easy for creators, gamers, and professionals to access files from storage devices—delivering both speed and convenience without breaking your workflow.

You’ll also find a dedicated lighting adjustment knob and a one-touch on/off switch, giving you instant control over screen brightness and power. Whether you’re working late, gaming, or creating content, these intuitive controls let you fine-tune your setup with ease.

Stretch Goals

When we hit our target, we’ll unlock Welder’s one-touch screen lock feature and surprise our backers with exclusive rewards: a free 2-in-1 key switch puller, a pair of ergonomic palm rests, and a complete set of original PBT keycaps—all designed to enhance your typing and workflow experience!
