SELECTstarFROMredditRunning DOOM In A Keycap Takes Careful Work
veroxiiIf 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".
CookieJarObserverYeah it literally runs on pregnancy tests
It wasn’t running on the pregnancy test then, and it’s not running on a keycap now. Both this and the pregnancy test are someone putting their own hardware into a random enclosure and saying “I’m running Doom on X!”
No, you’re not really. Would you say that I’m running Doom on a banana if I put the same hardware inside a banana peel? No, because it’s just a case for something else.
If he was running it on the keyboard’s existing processor and it had a screen in the key, like Doom on a Mac touchbar, then I would agree.
He was streaming doom to the pregnancy test. it’s a pretty cool hack, even if he’s not “running” it on the pregnancy test.
Bonus points if that’s a touch screen
HousePantherWhile impractical, it’s still cool! 😎
TimeSquirrelHackaday is the epitome of "because we can".
dobeltipI was imagine to put Doom logo on my keyboard. But that is the whole game lol i take it.
Reminds me of the Optimus Maximus keyboard.
"I play Doom with my keyboard."
"... okay?"
GustavoMIt’s all about the flex.
The key displays, but what does the processing? Is that in the key too?
redcalciumNext: running doom in a CPU cooler
“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 is this, Doom for ants?
MrSilkwormeveryone: Idont think there is any other way left to play Doom.
Dev: Hold my beer
next: Skyrim playing in a Keycap
Dizzy Devil DuckyWhat 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.

Why Does Doom Get Ported To Everything? - Retro of the Week
One word. Doom. It's a simple name that can invoke a lot of things. Deathmatch, modding, programming. Doom is and was a lot of things to a lot of people. It's also known for being ported to everything. Why is this the case? Why Doom and not its older brother Wolfenstein 3D? I have compiled
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 it run on a toaster.
