What commenters say

• The Flux Keyboard's design is reminiscent of older keyboards with similar features, such as the Optimus Maximus.
• The use of a single large display instead of individual key displays may make the keyboard more affordable to produce.
• Some commenters are concerned about the potential discomfort or interference caused by the magnetic keys for individuals with magnetic implants.
• The keyboard's price is considered relatively affordable compared to other high-end mechanical keyboards.
• The use of a video background may be distracting for some users, and a simpler e-ink display could be a better option.
• The cost of alternative display technologies, such as e-ink, is prohibitively expensive for a keyboard.
• The keyboard's features, such as customizable shortcuts and adaptive display, may be useful for specific applications or workflows.
• The magnetic suspension of the keys may provide a unique typing experience, but its effectiveness is uncertain.
