I wonder if this is Windows Precision Touchpad compatible? As far as I can tell, there are not many options for precision touchpads that are not in a laptop

#72Anyone else notice the copyright on the web site is 2012? Presumably just a bad copy-and-paste, but weird nonetheless.
I saw that too and wondered the same thing. Still a real company?

Sounds like touch typing is for you. It's even called “blind typing” in some languages.
I am a touch typist. But not for every key on the keyboard. But more importantly, touch typing doesn't help you position your hands when moving them from something else to the keyboard.

I thought that's what the bumps on the f and j keys were for.

#74At least one manufacturer will use this to make a 21:9 notebook.
Kind of like the HP Jornada!

Not sure how it’s any better than the Logitech K400 or the Microsoft All in One keyboard, especially since those don’t need any special software support so can work with your Android TV, Apple TV, HTPC and essentially any other device that supports USB HID, and those cost only like $20-30 I don’t see this thing being sold for less than $150-200.
I have only owned the Logitech K400 before and its touchpad is rubbish. I threw it out because it was so frustrating to use. Lots of accidental taps when just trying to move the mouse pointer and issues like that. Is the Microsoft All In One any better?
"Is the Microsoft All In One any better?"
Its even worst in my experience... both are trash. I reverted to a regular wireless keyboard & trackball for sofa use.

This makes a lot of sense for a use-case. Their proposed use-case of e.g. phones and tablets (see: already touch-enabled devices) makes me wonder... why use an inferior touchpad on a keyboard when you could just reach up and touch the screen to begin with? Especially with the things they're demoing: moving your cursor to click on something (just tap it) or scrolling (just... scroll normally?). I use a laptop with a "…
A lot of people don't want to take the time and/or lose the flow due to shifting the hands away from the keyboard and in particular orientation with the home row. The laptop approach of the touchpad close to and rigidly coupled to the keyboard is a big improvement as you can move thumbs from the spacebar and back without looking. This is why I use the internal keyboard even when an external keyboard would be otherwis…

TrackPoint. You want a TrackPoint.

I liked the idea but it never exhibited the dynamic performance (accelleration-to-distance/decelleration-to-precision) of a trackpad which is why I think it faded away, even at IBM.

This keyboard reminds me a lot pf my Tex Yoda II. Check ot out if you like TrackPoints.

#79Does anybody here use keynav? I have been a ThinkPad user all my life but the trackpoint hurt my fingers (like another commented here) Mouse and trackpad need a switch. I like keynav but its slow and I'm wondering if with prqctise I will actually get somewhere or will forever remain slow?
I love the TrackPoint, but finally I too am noticing a strain in my index finger.
I am hoping to take things to the next level.
Currently am looking at wiring a game controller-style thumb joystick to a Contra keyboard.

#80why is signup for preorder so detailed about the user? it even requires phone number. Most of the questions were so sketchy I gave up and didnt sign up. Would not be surprised if all that data ends up in wrong hands and will be used for phishing.
Because it's a Korean company. It's far less common to use email to contact a customer in Korea. As you can see email is not even a required field in the sign-up page. The customers prefer to receive notifications via SMS (or Kakaotalk nowadays) then email. Actually email is almost meaningless in Korea for contacting method to consumers. If the company send official release news to sing-up customers on email only, th…
Thanks for this interesting insight into Korean culture & customs.
