Glad people are trying to do something new! I really like how it's Not derivative. It doesn't look like an Apple knockoff product or some other coattail riding project. Refreshing. Keep at it! This is the kind of innovation we need!
I would really like it if these fancypants keyboards came in a layout other than the crunch-all-your-fingers-together-in-the-middle-for-extra-RSI design that the keyboard nerds seem to adore
I mean the layout is more or less a standard qwerty one. It's not any more condensed than any other keyboard, as far as I can tell. You can imagine why an ergonomic layout would make this particular product more difficult, as you'd either need multiple displays for a split board, or a much larger display to accommodate the larger keyboard surface of a more traditional ergonomic layout. Also fwiw I don't think there's…
This is interesting... but I can't help but think how much better it might be if instead of a video background just had a simpler e-ink display for indicating what the transparent key caps were for. The animation/videos are very distracting. I never liked the Apple TouchBar or anything that required "active" attention away from the main screen.
replaceable key "frame" had me hopeful, but no, there is no ortholinear support - only staggered layouts. Lame. this just seems to be a new attempt at the ol' Optimus Maximus
looks awful for ergonomics :/
No worse than any other standard keyboard that the overwhelming majority of people use.

You probably already know about this wired keyboard by Lenovo [0] that features the TrackPoint. [0] https://www.lenovo.com/ca/en/p/accessories-and-software/keyb...
I did not. Thanks. The only problem is that I use a split (ergo) keyboard :/
Some other times this was tried: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimus_Maximus_keyboard , https://liliputing.com/the-poly-keyboard-uses-tiny-oled-disp... , https://www.alphr.com/united-keys/united-keys-oled-display-k...
This looks like one big screen with transparent keys instead of a single small screen for each key like all the examples you linked. Should be much cheaper to produce, and cost is always the problem with projects like this.

I used a blank DAS to learn to touchtype. I now use a non-blank Kinesis Advantage2, but it has qwerty keycaps while all my devices are colemak so it has a similar effect to blank with the added bonus of confusing other people even more because the keycaps don’t match what is typed.
Ha, awesome. It makes me want to get some keycaps in some obscure language like klingon, just to mess with people.
Always great to see innovation in the keyboard space! Looks like a pretty neat product. I was hoping to see some sort of mouse layer or mouse control like on the UHK. The UHK totally transformed how I use my desktop. I literally don't even have a mouse to plug in now if I wanted to because it's been so many years since I needed it. If the UHK ever broke or went out of business, I'd be in a world of hurt. Shipping tim…
