From my own experience, it's better to use a mechanical keyboard and hook it up to the Supernote via the USB-C port. It works brilliantly. Thanks for these important updates!
That's a great question. In general, they do not, but it largely depends on the keyboard. I haven't tried the SN with my Steelseries yet because it's hooked up to my Mac, but several of the embedded keys on the HHKBs did not work initially. Then with the latest SN firmware update, they suddenly did, but I have no idea why. I plan to test out the Omnipoint on the SN soon. Mechanical keyboards are really the bee's knees :)
Great video. I really hope they go the full and keyboard folio routes. It would round out the "For Those Who Write" vibe, especially since they are the only device to let you natively create Word Document outside of the app. I also think they would be wise to price less than the ViWoods, even if it lowers margin, to sell more units.
It really is better to use a mechanical keyboard and connect it to the Supernote through the USB-C port. Nothing replaces the feel and elegance of a mechanical keyboard.
@@JMaxwell1000 thanks for sharing. I like the demos of what I have seen of the Remarkable typefolio. The pogo pins should be a much better connection than Bluetooth.
@@VladimirKostek I agree and worry that there may not be enough value at that price point for the 10.3" model, but I could be wrong. I am working may way through Voya's in-depth review of it and am so glad he went old school MDG. His and Kit's reviews of the Supernote, Boox, and reMarkable, are why I chose the Supernote back in 2020.
I am 100% on board with the plastic case, plastic screen decision. Aluminum and glass are not things I want on a device I carry and hold in front of me unless it's small. And a glass screen is just asking for trouble. And the lack of magnets... Makes sense and, on the end, sometimes simpler is better.
Yea for something that is a utility device, we all know how notebooks get thrown around in a bag etc. I think it fits the needs well with the material choices.
My A6X2 Nomad, which arrived yesterday, doesn't have a white surround like yours. Mine is a light grey, so maybe they have changed it, so it easier to manufacture along with A5X2?
Wow, you squeezed a whole lot more out of that lemon and have given us allot to think about, I'm just hoping the _writing feel_ is similar as can be to the A5X.
Folio keyboard: 1. I was thinking maybe the delays have to do with getting the folio keyboard right (I'm probably wrong). 2. I wish these devices could do portrait as well as landscape. If it is "for writers," that would suggest portrait mode. But it doesn't sound like they are going to support that.
Yea portrait would be cool for a type folio design, at least on the Supernote platform you can use it in portrait like I did here th-cam.com/video/Pl0077yaloA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=63BsBeop61FnbzoM&t=1005
My guess would be no, and if they do make one I don't think it would come out for a while. The clear back is susceptible to scratches which does not bode well for a half folio design. It works well on the Nomad because of the full folio.
Good video - thank you! 👌🏻 Could you tell me which keyboard you're using at 2m:44s? Thanks again! 😊 UPDATE: No need - it's the Remarkable Type Folio... You answered me 10 seconds after I'd asked the question! 😂

I def need to try a mech, have only done a BT. Curious, do preprogrammed commands or hot keys on the mech work with the SN?

I feel like Viwoods is still at a discounted rate on their site, they might have to up the price after pre-orders.

If you are referring to the A5X with FW2 then yes should feel the same I think
@@VladimirKostek No, I mean gleaning so much more information out of Supernote's short post, cool.

@@VladimirKostek Yeah. I have a Bluetooth keyboard, but an integrated keyboard that could do portrait would be cool.
@@t0dd000 Agreed, I think i mentioned that in my original type folio review. Unfortunately they did not add that for rM PP :(
@@VladimirKostek I suspect supporting both configurations is complicated.
@@t0dd000yea it would add a little complexity and weight no doubt
"bound to be released pretty soon"...oh sweet summer chind
Yea u right, who knows when it'll come out 🤣 still excited thoo
I wouldn't be surprised if the actual product release (deliveries) is next year tbh.
Is the supernote the only e ink device that has links, header and keyword features for organizational tools?
Boox actually just implemented a software update that adds some stuff like that. You can checkout my most recent vid, I talk about it there a bit
Do you think the A5 X2 will have a crystal back like the A6x2?
Currently, that is not an option.
