If you’ve bit the bullet and bought a fancy ultrabook recently, chances are you’ve been disappointed by its connectivity options. This is a shame since today’s laptops are more than powerful enough to use at home as your primary device too, but to do this you need a hub to connect everything to… or you did. Kolude KD-K1 is a Kickstarter that hopes to integrate a full USB-C hub into a slimline professional keyboard. The keyboard only offers throughput speeds of 5Gbps (USB 3.0) and 4K at 30Hz is the maximum display output, but it adds a microSD, SD card reader, 3 USB 3.0 ports and a USB Type-C output.
