It's all about the flex.
Hackaday is the epitome of "because we can".
If a piece of hardware can't run doom is it even hardware?
Crazy how people are still finding new things to cram doom into. I remember when that was a popular thing to do twenty years ago haha
But I'll admit, stuffing it into a keycap is pretty damn impressive, albeit useless haha
Screw the Turing test! The superior test is "Can it run DOOM".
"you can even plug in a keyboard"...
To play Doom...
That's running in a key on your keyboard...
Not sure why he didn't take the extra step of tying in the power and keys from the USB keyboard the keycap is living on. I feel like that shouldn't be too hard
Bonus points if that's a touch screen
everyone: Idont think there is any other way left to play Doom.
Dev: Hold my beer
next: Skyrim playing in a Keycap
I was imagine to put Doom logo on my keyboard. But that is the whole game lol i take it.
Next: running doom in a CPU cooler's lcd
What exactly is the obsession of putting DOOM of all games into any hardware over other games?
It's a fine enough game, but definitely not the game of choice I would choose if I were to choose an old game to be put in random hardware.

This might answer your question
Really clear a cool. It makes sense it goes everywhere
It's easy to port, has low system requirements, and it's funny to see running on a toaster
Reminds me of the Optimus Maximus keyboard.
What is this, Doom for ants?
While impractical, it's still cool! 😎
