Neat, but I opted for the Beepy: https://beepy.sqfmi.com/
Why do they blur the keyboard in every photo? So strange
Possibly to avoid confusion, with the customizable keyboard?

#24Their website has not prevented me from finding out what this is! It is hardware. I even found some photos elsewhere: https://www.digitec.ch/en/page/oxocard-learning-to-programme...
That page has prices shown as numbers without any indication of currency; I've never seen that
Re: Oxocards: Interactive programmable minicomputers
#25Looks like the site could do with some proof-reading. But 40 CHF (approximately the same in dollars or euro) is pretty good for a tiny computer with a screen and a pile of sensors and an easy programming environment.
Maybe I am mis-reading the e-shop, but I see the book as CHF40 and the 12-sensor card as CHF89. Am I wrong?
You're right.

Swiss don't need to know the currency to know they can afford it

In the store prices are shown with CHF to the left of the number. CHF means Swiss Francs.
I agree with could have been clearer. Had they used Helvetica, instead of a Helvetica derivative, it would have been more obvious this was a Swiss store.

Lol
I mean, it was obvious that it was Swiss, it's in the title, but international prices are often shown in USD or €.
Anyway, to me it felt like it could be the result of a slight aversion to discussing money, or a slight glorification of numbers, and I hadn't seen that before.
