The Launch Heavy Configurable Keyboard from System76 - Hands-on Review!

System76, a company that focuses on Linux-first computers, designs keyboards now. The Launch Keyboard "launched" some time ago, and for some of you the lack of a numpad was a concern.

In this video, Jay will give you his thoughts on the latest input device from System76.
