There’s a reason you can still get those old IBM and Microsoft keyboards that basically haven’t changed since the 90s. I’d say the majority of users just want functional and comfortable input devices and while I personally like fancy devices I don’t feel like the market is there for mass adoption. Especially at how much more they likely cost and how much shorter their potential lifespan is.

I feel like you're really underselling the prevalence of rgb keyboards though. There's a clear market for people who want "cool gaming keyboards" rather than simple function.

Not saying all rgb boards are bad, but things like razer boards etc are usually flash over function.

For sure, I wasn’t discounting RGB or vanity keyboards, but the OP was talking about the “future of keyboards”.

I think we’ll get to the point of mostly gesture-only input before we’d get to mostly embedded screen keyboards.
