VitaLink is a transportable keyboard with an integrated 4K touchscreen. It folds like a laptop and offers a secondary display when linked to a laptop, tablet, or mini PC. It’s ideal for mobile workers desiring a straightforward dual-screen setup without lugging around additional devices.

The device includes a 13-inch 4K touch display (3840×1600, 60Hz) and a full keyboard with RGB lighting. Crafted from aluminum, it folds to a thickness of about 20 mm and features a 180° hinge. It uses USB-C for power, video, and data, compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android. It also includes built-in speakers, 10-point touch capability, approximately 298 PPI, and weighs roughly 1.2 kg. Suitable for coding, writing, editing, gaming with handheld consoles, and general multitasking, it’s perfect for small spaces, whether at desks or during travel.

Comparable to the FICIHP multifunctional keyboard from 2021, the new VitaLink is distinct with a larger 13.0-inch 4K touchscreen, housed in a sleek 180° foldable aluminum chassis. It connects instantly to a mini PC, Steam Deck, or smartphone using a single USB cable.

VitaLink is available on Kickstarter starting at $279, considerably lower than the projected $658 retail price. Shipping is anticipated to begin in September 2026. As with other crowdfunding projects, there’s some risk, but the company claims over 20 years of experience in creating consumer electronics. Shipping costs range from $18 to $33, depending on the destination (Asia being most affordable). The company also states they will handle all taxes and customs duties and offer a 1-year manufacturer’s warranty.
