I've tried a lot of really nice mech keyboards but this is the one thing that makes me go back to my 'ThinkPad TrackPoint Keyboard II'. It's super nice to never have to leave home row and I definitely feel the relief in terms of RSI.
The Tex Shinobi is an excellent upgrade if you've got the cash. I've been using one for a few months now and absolutely adore the typing/tracking experience.
I'm using silent reds on my board, but they're a little rattly. If you like linear switches, I'd probably suggest the regular reds for a uniform, smooth feel. The Bluetooth module is also a nice investment, but certainly not necessary.
Again, stupidly expensive keyboard for what it is. However, I can totally see myself picking up another one as backup in a few years. It really is a layout that feels right.
After spending more time and money than on fancy keyboards than I'd like to admit, two of these side by side (an informal 'split' keyboard) is by far the easiest on my wrists and shoulder blades.
2. This one is basically limited by what a 3 position slider (usb/bt1/bt2) can do, the firmware could do up to 5. We could offer an alternative firmware where the slider can do bt1/bt2/bt3, and USB or Bluetooth is automatically determined by whether it's plugged in or not if that helps.
5. That space is needed for the battery, since the board is too slim to place it elsewhere.
I haven't received it yet but a while ago I backed a split mechanical keyboard on kickstarter that I hope will be good for this. If you want to check it out its the keyboardio model 100.
The logo looks like a designer from today was sent back in time to do the logo for the Apple II. I can recreate it in about 12 seconds going to https://displaay.net/typeface/tobias/ and setting "Altar I" in Tobias Light; it's not even kerned. KERNED!
Website has...character but at some point I just want big pics of the thing
That's not the logo it's just a name of the product. Logo is Electronic Materials Office® which i think is rather nice. The fact you can recreate a logo in 12 seconds after you saw it doesn't lower it's qualities - That's the case for majority of logos.
The aesthetics of the product clearly references 70s & 80s electronic product design so i yeah it's on purpose.
I am not sure what you mean by it not being kerned. It clearly is kerned both in the type tester and on the product - it's function of the typeface and it does it pretty well.
1. raised/indented keys will get dirty really fast, an option without would sell me
2. 2-device pairing is great, your competitors have 3 though
3. hot-swap keycaps would be a huge sell
4. nice typography, why isn't the logo in it? take off the logo
5. replace the empty area with home => end
6. 3 modifiers on the left, 3 right please! (not 4-left/2-right)
7. options for other keycap sets later?
8. dial is too tall, removable? swappable? jog dial?
9. love the giant esc key, L-shaped enter
10. esc keycap to replace caps would be awesome
11. show me a pic of the full cable/any more details here
12. what are the feet like? foam? rubber? adjustable height?
13. neat website but moves too much, show me a boring gallery of static images somewhere please
14. add clit mouse
15. sustainable material means something to me and makes me more want to buy, really!
16. don't add LEDs, i'd rather save money
17. lmk when it's ergo (cries in carpal tunnel)
