The boundaries between classic PC accessories, productivity tools and smart home centers are becoming increasingly blurred. This is exactly where the Decokee Quake auxiliary display comes in: a compact secondary display that not only displays information, but can also actively intervene in workflows, gaming setups and networked households. The device is currently being financed via a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter and advertises AI functions, touch operation and broad software integration. But what is behind the ambitious concept – and how realistic are the promises?
- 8.8-inch touch display with 1,920 × 480 pixels in ultra-wide format
- AI-supported functions for macros, summaries and media content
- Control of PC applications and smart home devices via APIs
- Rotary control with RGB lighting for status and function display
Decokee Quake additional display as a versatile command center
At its core, the Decokee Quake additional display presents itself as an extended control point for the desktop. The 8.8-inch IPS panel has an unusual aspect ratio and is therefore less suitable for classic windows, but rather for status displays, control elements or dashboards. With a brightness of 450 cd/m² and tiltable housing, the display should remain easy to read even in different lighting conditions. The touchscreen supports up to five simultaneous inputs and also allows the use of freely assignable touch keys.
The display is complemented by a side-mounted rotary control with integrated RGB lighting. This is not only used for navigation or volume control, but can also provide visual feedback on the current status – such as running processes, active profiles or system messages. The aluminum housing is connected via HDMI and USB 2.0, which enables easy integration into existing setups. According to the manufacturer, Windows and macOS are officially supported, while Linux support is at least planned in a beta phase.
AI functions, macros and smart home integration
A key selling point of the Decokee Quake additional display is the advertised AI functions. Individual macros can be created via voice input, which can be used both in a productive environment and for gaming. Meetings can be automatically summarized, voice notes created at the touch of a button and even videos or wallpapers generated. How reliably and locally these functions work remains to be seen at the moment, however, as reliable practical tests are still lacking.

Integration into the smart home should also be possible via an API connection. In conjunction with Home Assistant, a wide range of devices can be controlled, from lights and sensors to more complex automations. In the future, plugins for applications such as Discord and direct control of OBS are planned, which should be of particular interest to streamers and content creators. However, these extensions are still a long way off and depend on further development after the launch.
Conclusion: Exciting concept with crowdfunding risk
The Decokee Quake additional display combines hardware operation, AI approaches and smart home integration into an ambitious overall package. The idea of a compact desktop command center seems coherent and addresses several areas of application at once. At the same time, the typical risks of a crowdfunding campaign must be taken into account. Especially when it comes to software features, the quality of which must first be proven in everyday use. Supporters can currently purchase the device for around 233 euros plus shipping, with delivery planned for May 2026.
