PGS Windows 10 gaming handheld - GPD WIN competitor

[jeeks]

If it's not a Pandora/Pyra, second screen please :> Just to see if the big N rears its head And that keyboard layout has even more wtf-potential than the GPD Win's

 

[vcoleiro1]

Can you see the poll results so far?



The PGS key layout reminds me of a worse version of the Pyra keyboard. You know, like with Pyras symbol and punctuation keys scattered randomly as if to create a where's wally game, absolutely horrible

I fixed it for them

This pics is not the pic in the poll. This is the actual pick. I agree the layout is not optimal. But looks like they scrapped this together really fast for marketing purposes

Must admit, what I first found offputting about that layout was not where the keys were so much as the fact there's no space between the keys and it's completely flat. No tactile response whatsoever when feeling your way around. Like a zx80 except you can't even feel the membranes.

 

[Exophase]

I don't understand why anyone would put arrow keys on a handheld with a dpad. At least they gave them other purposes too, unlike GPD Win.

That "keyboard" reminds me of microwave oven's keypad input. Maybe it also beeps each time you press a key.

And I didn't think you could get much worse than the GPD Win's keyboard layout. Though it's centered, P's location isn't conventional and the FN (two function keys?) key is where the CTRL key should be.

I didn't even notice that but wow, that P location... I can just see the thought process there, let's move a single key away from the QWERTY layout and we get to make all the keys a little wider. Sounds like a great tradeoff, right? Except it'll infuriate just about anyone who tries actually typing on this thing when they smack empty space then go around looking every time they want to type pretty much anything.

I've actually used a laptop that has a P key that doesn't work very well (and only that key). Using it for any kind of typing is the absolute worst. I imagine this would end up feeling like that.

EDIT: Also that lack of zero key Only losers use zeroes!

I wouldn't worry about the layout, They're not actually going make the device.

Why you gotta keep bringing them down like this

Maybe they'll keep changing the device until it's indistinguishable from GPD Win.

Then they'll just resell GPD Wins.

Except they'd only make a loss by selling GPD Wins for the prices they're trying to sell PGS devices for.

zero is there, it's on Fn1 9.

because it's a great idea to have two function keys...

but "function 19" does sound like the name of a good sci fi thriller.

 

[levi]

Ooh, I've just noticed that enter is on FN1 and right arrow, while shift is FN2+ALT! You'd better hope either FN2 or SHIFT is sticky or you're going to need three thumbs for any capital letter and four thumbs to press shift+enter or shift+FN key

I am still on that messed up "P" key. Rest in Oeace...

The site's location thing is a bug, seems that it randomly changes location or changes everyone to the same location depending on how it's mis-behaving.

 

[darkmaximus9]

huh
[doublepost=1473254508,1473254336][/doublepost]i think the layout on the pgs is worst than my first phone

 

[iprice]

Yep, that phone is pretty bad, but the PGS is infintely worse. At least the phone wasn't a scam or vapourware, which the PGS may well be.
