FAQs & Examples

What are some common user examples?

1

If an accountant is on a desktop Zoom call and needs to access a spreadsheet from her laptop, she no longer must disrupt her workflow, toggle to a second device, and retrieve the file. That file is now instantly accessible from her keyboard.

2

If a worker wants to create a report on a train during her commute, her options are a bulky laptop or a hard-to-use touchscreen phone or tablet. The Majestic keyboard’s native OS allows her to work more efficiently directly from her keyboard during her commute.

3

For hybrid workers, the Glyph keyboard allows them to effortlessly take work between home and the office – just unplug and plug back in to pick up where you left off.

4

The Glyph keyboard also replaces conventional stream decks that use LCD keys to streamline tasks for streamers (switching scenes, launching media, Tweeting, adjusting audio, etc.). Our keyboard enables the same level of easy task control.

5

For users who are heavily reliant on custom macros and key combinations for computer applications, the Glyph keyboard will act as a universal macro-pad remote to all applications. For instance, if a CAD worker opens “Blender,” they will receive a pop-up asking if they want to use the Glyph display as a homepage for all their key bindings for that specific application.

Complete List of FAQs

+Why do I need the Glyph?

While computers and peripherals have been redefined and re-imagined, the keyboard remains little more than an input device with iterative improvements. Modern keyboards offer no standalone computing value or connection between the many different devices the average person uses.

This means people must constantly toggle between their devices if they receive a notification or need to access a file. Workflows are often disrupted given the inherent stickiness of smartphones.

Majestic Devices has revamped the keyboard by making it a bridge that connects all computing devices. Instead of constant toggling, users can receive notifications and access files from their phones or laptops seamlessly in one place.

+How does the Glyph work?

Our keyboard is designed to be plug and play! Each Glyph Keyboard has a fully compatible OS and a 7- inch screen. Users simply connect their smartphone, laptop or other device via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or USB-C.

The Glyph utilizes new USB-C 3+ technology, long-standing HID connection communications, and newest WIFI/Bluetooth iterations.The Glyph can establish a connection to any device(s) of your choosing without needing to download a specialized driver. From there, our various proprietary software will enable you to perform any of the aforementioned functions depending on the task. Once unplugged, the battery life will allow you to use the Glyph as a wireless stand alone device. At the heart, the Glyph will feature the newest Snapdragon processor.

+How does the Glyph differ from gimmicky keyboards with screens attached to them?

Other Keyboards with screens attached or behind the keys are interesting to look at, but serve no practical application purpose and in many ways represent a downgrade from a standard keyboard. These products lack basic features and inferior typing experience. Even the expensive macropad equivalents offer limited usage for streamers and work warriors.

The Glyph Keyboard alone offers functionality, a superior typing experience, and an infinite number of features:

  • Users will also benefit from a multi-touch, high-resolution display, a castable screen from any major OS, and the ability to customize their keyboard with key caps and switches.
  • The Glyph Keyboard also replaces conventional stream decks that use LCD keys to streamline tasks for streamers (switching scenes, launching media, Tweeting, adjusting audio, etc.). Our keyboard enables the same level of easy task control and much more.
  • For users who are heavily reliant on custom macros and key combinations for computer applications, The Glyph Keyboard will act as a universal remote macro-pad to all applications.

+Is the Glyph meant to replace my laptop, desktop, or tablet?

The Glyph Keyboard is specifically designed to perform 100% of all tasks on those devices, either as an extension of the desktop experience or as a stand- alone device, with the added benefit of a full custom mechanical keyboard typing experience.

+Is the Glyph meant to replace my keyboard, macropad, or audio interface?

We welcome all owners of the Glyph to develop and customize their experience. Therefore, we will be rolling out a free development software once it’s in a refined state.
