It looks great otherwise, even though I'll be curious to test the feedback of the keys as the mechanics seem to be on the sides of each, and not under as usual.
I so much wish Apple would have integrated E-Ink in their keyboard keys. I was kinda hoping from the leaks it to be true but sad :( Instead of removing function bar and putting in a stupid LCD this would have made more sense. If they were dying to put in an Apple watch display in keyboard they could have done it on trackpad! Disclaimer: Despite all this Macbook remains my fav laptop, no other laptop including surface…
> LCD Its actually OLED.
An interesting idea, but I just don't look at my keyboards. Even so, I can't help feeling this is a much better approach than replacing F-keys with the Mac Touchbar. The touchbar could have been a great idea if above the pre-existing keys. However, if it was a Model M chassis, sculpted full travel loud mechanical keys, E-Ink, and a modern selection of media keys and volume I'd probably buy one. Regardless of how sill…

That would be amazing for teaching vim! I've been using vim for a decade and I'm always learning new things about it. A modal keyboard would be incredibly instructive.
my thinking :) I'm currently on my 2nd attempt to learn some vim :) It would need a good api, too if you want to react to chained keystrokes or application states/modes.
Hmm. The keys with the transparent cap actually don't look great to me. Also, why do we keep losing the number pad? I use it quite a bit, and it's one of the main reasons to use a dedicated keyboard rather than the built-in one. Also, I really want to like Bluetooth. Built-in generic connectivity! Yet, at least once a day I have to reset a connection between my MacBook and a peripheral, or my phone and a peripheral.…
How can you type if you can't feel the keys under your hand, or if your fingers slide around instead of being centered on each key?

The 'cloud connected' stuff is an obnoxious gimmick, but Das's upcoming 5q is pretty close to what you're looking for: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1229573443/das-keyboard...

What integrated experience when you can't even connect your iPhone to your Mac without an adapter?
now if you refuse to give apple all your email, wifi passwords, pictures, etc, you will not have any integration.
Mostly like google stuff. If i do not give google my wifi passwords then i can't get my android watch to use wifi at all! Apple is just catching up on the game they invented.

i will pass on this one because they keys are probably garbage, but I change my layout between several languages and i actually have some of the layouts printed out because i am still not very familiar with them.
Not my use case either, but visit any audio or video editing room. I will bet you money that every workstation will have colorful stickers on top of all the keyboards to remind the operators which keys do what on their audio/video editing software.
