I'm one of the founders, I exited after the acquisition and now work in VC. It's absolutely possible, the custom EPD was $40USD, we used injection molder keys, and a delrin keyfram…

I'm one of the founders. The site crashed due to the traffic, we sold the technology, IP and some of the key talent joined Foxconn late last year; and scaled back our servers durin…

I'm one of the founders, E Ink displays have their display drivers on their glass substrate, meaning you would have a border that on a single key display would be too significant. …

I'm one of the founders, the first unit used a prototype EPD from E Ink Holdings, a custom display with around $500k in NRE was developed for a Macbook size keyboard module. This s…

I'm one of the Founders at Sonder. We found from our test units that uses can work up to 30% faster with dynamic keyboards and had strong responses particularly from developers. Th…

We're working on that currently for an entire keyboard www.sonderdesign.com

Our E Ink keyboard startup has developed timing controllers to avoid this. This is 4hz, you can get up to 20 Hz; and play videos or games on E Ink. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=…

I'm the founder of Sonder, an E Ink smart keyboard startup; I've written here previously about E Ink when we were published in WSJ regarding Apple. E Ink is a brilliant display, bu…

Because it's a prototype, we went for existing displays and a 60% was the closest. Besides, you for your a 104 key keyboard and the price just doubled. Can't PgUP be remapped, it's…

It's a patented mechanism, the profile is more similar to the older macbooks but audibly sounds a little like a mech; like a topre, not like cherry blues.

We wanted to create one standard that could be used for all different layouts. Due to accents used in many Asian and European layouts, and only a few Western European nations adopt…

Great response, answered it for me already. The MOQ is 300k units; we're at economies of scale but it's still a new technology. You're right on the made in China, Suzhou, Shenzhen …

Thanks for the comment, you're very right; but these two were mass production units that still preserved much of what the earlier units great. We have a few earlier Apple alps kbs …

I'm one of the engineers at Sonder, if you have questions just ask!

You can only learn from critical analysis, we like a tough crowd.

The second unit is an attachable numpad that can be used as a standalone or connects magnetically.

I work mostly on the electrical side but we do interact a lot with the software devs (I can code but only in C++), it's not gospel but I think the scope for the software is an open…

Correct, the cloud is just an option which is off as standard.

Thanks for the feedback, some interesting insights from other vim users. P.s The E Ink display isn't in contact with the actual user, the keys are just a transmissive body for the …

I agree with your points on ergo design, we did a survey with the thousands on community members and only like 4% would buy an ergo design which was lower than expected. It's impor…

This. P.s I hate this comment on reddit but I couldn't help myself. The mech is also manufactured to the spec for a standard laptop spec, it should feel pretty familiar.

Appreciate the feedback, it's just an option; if the user just wants to rely on the mappings stored on flash they can.

Best analogy is like dropbox, I have files stored on my terminal, but if I want I can back it up online and download new files to my machine. It's just an option that creative desi…
