The Machenike KT84 keyboard is ideal for retro fans and those who prioritize their privacy alike, thanks to its dot-pixel display and panic button toggle switch.
Brands like Razer andHigroundare pushing out newkeyboardson a regular basis. Whether you want a keyboard that represents yourfavorite anime series, one decked out in RGB lighting, or a keyboard shaped like yourfavorite gaming character, there’s one for everyone.
The Machenike KT84 could easily be labeled under just another mechanical keyboard. However, the brand-new board stands out from the rest, thanks to its built-in panic button. With this, you’ll be able to shut down all your tabs at a moment’s notice.
While the transparent keycaps and vibrant RGB light effects are a draw in their own right, the Machenike KT84 features its own built-in ‘toggle switch’. If you want to keep your browsing habits away from prying eyes, pulling on the switch instantly hides all windows from your screen.
The Machenike KT84 isn’t only ideal for those who love their privacy. Its customizable pixel display is bound to be a hit with any retro-gaming fan. According to the official Kickstarter page, the 490-dot pixel screen can support custom patterns, colors, and animation effects.
It’s not the only display found on the keyboard either. The Machenike KT84 also plays host to a 1.47-inch TFT screen. This tiny display gives you access to your PC rig’s temperatures, as well as the time, date, and RGB settings.

If you want to grab the keyboard for yourself, there are still 26 days to go on the Kickstarter campaign. Picking the keyboard up will set you back $249, and no Kickstarter campaign is a guarantee you’ll get what you paid for.
However, you’ll also be able to make use of its hot-swappable gasket mount, Bluetooth support, and Gatreon North Pole 2.0 switches.
