Portable Keyboard with Touchscreen Enables Multitasking on the go - Scitke

I can’t picture my desktop setup without a second monitor — it’s been a game changer for researching and writing, especially when juggling several browser tabs, videos, and a note-taking app at the same time.

A Portable Dual-Screen Solution for Work on the Go

The new KeyGo could be a great way to bring that same experience on the go. It’s a compact keyboard with a fold-out screen that connects to your laptop, phone, or tablet, serving as a secondary display to expand your workspace.

The display is also a touchscreen, making it easy to scroll through documents and code, swipe through videos, and navigate media project timelines with ease.

If I took the KeyGo on the road to write, I’d likely keep my browser open on my laptop and have my notes enlarged on the touchscreen nearby. I can also see myself using the KeyGo screen for audio editing timelines, which would help me fine-tune tracks for music or podcast work more precisely.

The KeyGo connects to PCs, Macs, and Android or iOS devices via a single USB-C cable. It also includes a second USB-C port for power input, allowing you to use an adaptor for more consistent performance. If you plan to use it with an Android phone, make sure your device supports DisplayPort Alt Mode to ensure the screen functions correctly.

The keyboard uses scissor switches for quieter typing, offers customizable RGB backlighting, and includes a number pad on the right. The built-in display is a 12.8-inch 720p IPS touchscreen with a 60Hz refresh rate and 10-point touch support.

Crafted from CNC-machined aluminum alloy, the device folds completely flat to 180 degrees and weighs 28 oz (800 g). When closed, it measures 12.7 inches (324 mm) in length and 0.75 inches (19 mm) in thickness—just slightly bulkier than a 13-inch MacBook Air.

It’s a convenient tool to keep on hand, whether you’re working at your desk or enjoying a change of scenery. The KeyGo is currently available on Kickstarter, with an expected retail price of US$538, though early backers can get it for as low as $259. Shipping is scheduled for November, with regional shipping costs ranging from $10 to $17 per unit.

As with any crowdfunding effort, there’s some level of risk involved—and this seems to be the debut project from the team behind the KeyGo, so that’s something to consider before backing. That said, the campaign has already surpassed its funding goal, with support from over 500 backers.

You can check out more details about the KeyGo on its Kickstarter page.
