Back when this was first unveiled, I really, really wanted it. Then it suffered delays, and I lost interest in desktop computing. (I love the concept of notebooks, even if I’m on a Dell right now...) Then the price skyrocketed and the production numbers plummeted.

It’s best to wait until someone rips this off (Logitech?) and mass-produces a cheaper version.

Doesn't look like any effort has been made to "cushion" the strokes.

Old electrics (circa 1960s) had fantastic control over key pressure and you could type for hours without feeling like you'd been drumming your fingers into a steel plate.

I have a design that uses a laser array to track finger twitches so that no keyboard at all is needed.

You want qwerty you get qwerty but you can also get your favorite game controller configuration ~ just run the trace and track program.

It should be just as easy to do a one-handed virtual keyboard operation with this design.

All I need is several hundred thousands of dollars for R&D.
