    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

      It’s the “hello world” for hardware.

    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

  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.

    It’s easy to port, has low system requirements, and it’s funny to see it run on a toaster.

  Reminds me of the Optimus Maximus keyboard.
