WHAT THE FUCK.

#4It's funny, since the only memory I've had of using an actual mechanical typewriter with that sort of keyboard was the tiringly high actuation force and getting my fingers stuck between the keys... I suppose this wouldn't have the former characteristic though.
I think it's odd they chose to include Pause/Break and PrintScreen/SysReq, but omitted the Insert key.

#5So, it's a run of the mill wireless keyboard with typewriter-ish keys glued on it ...
And the carriage return lever seems to be only for show, it would have been nicer if it actually was a return key...

Which run of the mill wireless keyboards have mechanical key switches?

"Qwerkywriter's Return Bar functions as an ENTER key by default. But it's also programmable, remembering up to 5 characters."

#8$300 is a little steep. You can get those keycaps that will fit on any cherry MX switch keyboard for $80-$100. Add a TKL keyboard (one without the number block) for $80 and you have your desktop typewriter.

Yeah, I certainly have seen similar keycaps before. No idea what's so novel about those particular caps that they need a patent.

There are quiet a few. For example Matias offers wireless models with Alps key switches. Filco has bluetooth models with Cherry MX switches.
