Company Introduces Android Keyboard with Cherry MX Switches

A Chinese company has integrated an Android computer into a mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX switches. The OneBoard Pro+ includes a quad-core processor. The keyboard can be connected to a TV or monitor via HDMI.

The OneBoard Pro+ contains a 1.8GHz Rockchip RK3288-soc, along with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of flash storage. Android 4.4 has been chosen as the operating system, while Bluetooth 4.0 and WiFi 802.11ac are also available, as well as an SD card reader.

Manufacturer Acooo has opted for a keyboard with mechanical Cherry MX switches. The keys are also equipped with LED lighting. The keyboard can be used as a standalone keyboard by connecting it to a PC with a USB cable, but when the OneBoard Pro+ is connected to a monitor via an HDMI cable, it works as a full-fledged Android computer. The price of the OneBoard Pro, which is sold through a number of Chinese web stores, is approximately 260 euros.
