    I’m pleased to inform you that HP’s computer-in-a-keyboard doesn’t suck to type on.

    The HP Eliteboard G1a plays a bit off the old Commodore 64 formula of a desktop computer built into a keyboard, but for office use in 2026. While I feel it’s a charming and quirky idea, I was prepared to hate the typing feel of this latticeless membrane keyboard.

    After trying it briefly? It’s serviceable.

    Epomaker’s new mechanical keyboard has an ambidextrous number pad.

    Dear numpad diehards, here’s a keyboard we can both enjoy. The Epomaker RT98 is a wireless mechanical keyboard featuring a repositionable number pad. You can move it to right or lefthanded positions by unscrewing the keyboard’s base plate. There’s also a detachable retro TV-style LCD. Because why not?

    Pricing isn’t available yet, but it should launch soon on Kickstarter.

    <em>The little retro-inspired screen shows settings, and users can upload animated GIFs to loop on it.</em>
    <em>The LCD connects via magnetic pogo pins, so you can remove it. But an Epomaker rep said it doesn’t have other accessories to put there yet.</em>
    <em>To move the number pad you’ll have to unscrew the bottom base plate.</em>
