I get that this is a low volume product, but you can buy 3 keyboards in the same product category (low profile mechanical) for the asking price of $380 or build an incredible standard mechanical keyboard. The pomodoro is cool, but nothing you can't run on the machine you're actually using to work on. The screen is cool, but this has half the battery capacity of a Nuphy (which also isn't running a screen) so I don't expect battery life to be great. Also no mention of macro keys on the product page (if I missed it, my bad, but you should probably make it clearer), no function row, no media keys, and no QMK/VIA makes it a hard sell for productivity users. Props for using a mx style stem, build quality, and language options, though. Wish you all the best.
lol yeah, as a programmer and photographer, this was my first thought as well they say it's a keyboard to focus and get work done... and yet, is missing some of the main keys I use to do said work 🤣 edit: wtf did they do with my tilde key? I need that for coding
@@funknick Well as a programmer who also uses design tools, I need the Fn keys but don't love them at all. If I need them, I want them as two rows to the left of my keyboard cuz while I can touch type, I really hate a row of keys above my number keys. On the left side, I can quickly hit the right button with my pinky just as I do with my numpad. Now, if more creative apps worked like SublimeText/VS Code with an command-control-p / shift-control-p quick search function menu, I would never need that damn function keys ever again. Also, the whole F5/F4/F7 default thing for debugging/stepping through code is the dumbest most idiotic, most unintuitive default ever. Stopi t!
It's strange to pursue the screen gimmick. Apple gave up on the touch bar, it's redundant because you have a giant integrated screen in front of you already, it requires a niche sdk to develop on. I don't see it
@@Scott_Stone And as others have stated, you can run a pomodoro timer on the screen in front of you. Or your watch, or your phone, or your tablet... or get old school and use an actual clickitydingy plastic pomodoro timer.
You can tell the people that aren't into keyboards are watching this video. Seems like 75% of the enthusiast keyboards I see online don't have a function row but everyone in the comments is pissed about it lol.
"You can tell the people that aren't into cars are watching this video. Seems like 75% of the enthusiast cars I see online don't have air conditioning but everyone in the comments is pissed about it lol."
I'm into keyboards, and I don't go below TKL for work. It's just less convenient not having the F row and dedicated navigation keys. This keyboard is marketed as a work keyboard, so I'll judge it as a work keyboard.
esp32-s3 + resin printing + low profile switches + arduino giga display + as5600 magnetic encoder + jlcpcb PCB manufacturing is still cheaper and even has function key rows. Plus i'll get better resolution with a magnetic encoder rather than a rotary encoder
Just got my nomad e, typing on it right now actually.. This isn't a bad keyboard, there are a lot of things that I would change about it like the depth of keys (takes forever to press them in) the wheels on the side do not reflect how fast it works with the computer (each notch turned doesn't always register) and the overall texture of the keys are a little too slippery for my liking. I love the screen and would love to see all of the things you implement into it in the future, I really hope it doesn't just stay a timer and a little toy tracking my WPM. Overall this isn't a bad keyboard, just not worth a dime over $150. I preordered this last year in september and the hype has most definitely died down for me. Good thing I spent the $370 last year on this because I would've been very upset if I got charged now for this lmao.
For $350 I could get a high end custom keyboard that's actually well made with high quality materials like a smith and rune iron 165, constance tkl, etc. or spend in the $100-200 range and get a keychron, neo, zoom, etc. and still get a better quality keyboard.
Can someone recommend me a few good mechanical keyboards? I'd like to switch from my good ol logitech MX keys (non-mechanical) to something else. 75% would be good but I'm open to explore all of yalls suggestions. Thank you kindly.
How can I include this keyboard in my setup if I'm using Windows? It would be helpful to state at the beginning of the video that it is intended for Apple users to avoid wasting time.
It literally works on macOS, Windows, Linux, and iOS. Like do some basic research into the product. This video is literally from the beginning of the kickstarter campaign a long time ago.
@@atorbtech steel series makes some alright mech boards (assuming you want readily available box store brand) my apex 3 lasted me a hot minute before i upgraded to the apex pro tkl which ended up shitting the bed on me, so i just went wooting for a HE board and havnt had any issues
I like the idea of allowing community action but it's really a missed opportunity not having a SDK for the community and app developers. One step further would be making some software open source saving the work of the open source community from having to reverse engineer it lol.
not gonna buy a designer's product never ,ever - this one. A developer who has every customization within a simple straightforward keyboard gets the job done, even when there are ain't any hard keys, there are many plug and play keyboards online that are LTS, established and developer led customizations
So you will be shipping soon... but you can't even make up your mind on how STAGGERING works on you keyboard. If it's such an important feature to put it first, why does it have different STAGGER on 1:07? It's a standard typewriter stagger of 0.75u - 0.25u - 0.5u, but on most other shots it's 0.75u - 0.25u - 0.25u.
This video is literally from when the keyboard was getting funding on Kickstarter and was a concept. It has been a long time that has passed and everything is literally settled.
Loved the video and the concept definitely looks promising, many accounting or finance professionals would benefit greatly if you guys could include the number pad as well in the keyboard, will be waiting for future updates on the product!
Yall have 0 idea how many sales you just blew for eliminating that function row... I'm a game dev. Work with Rider and Unreal all day. Half my function row is macro. Huge miss for me. Would have bought otherwise. You guys say its community driven and yet you eliminated the function row.
It literally is a 60% keyboard. A shit ton of enthusiast keyboards dont have F-rows and you dont need them. You just hold fn+a number on the number row.
Abolish the screen and give us the F row. We need a keyboard, not a computer with keys. Adding too many features to a simple device might sound cool to shareholders but its inevitably a failure to consumers. Remove the screen. Add the F row. Or... you won't last long, sadly. Also by removing the screen you could lower the price to values that people can actually pay
A lot of enthusiast keyboards do not have a F row at all. My keyboard doesnt have one, I just hit function plus some number on the number row. Its called a 60% keyboard lol

Right? Don't claim it's for everyone when it lacks a basic feature like this. But at least you get a f**king magnetic ruler. 🙃

usually on keyboards without the function row, you need to hold in the fn key (opt in this keyboard’s case?) + the corresponding number

You can have pomodoro on it. Or if you have brain rot - Subway Surfers gameplay footage

Would've also loved to see a num pad on this keyboard as well as a function row
Also the backlighting on here is atrocious
Please add the function row...
Have you never heard of a 60% keyboard?
@@livingishardddd have you never heard of preferenes?
Nice. Very nice.
make it 75% and win

Just for it to look like everyone else’s keyboards 😅
Theres a reason why the work louder keyboard failed lol

Minimalist keyboard with a gimmicky screen
Then dont buy it?
please prioritize showing more product details rather than people's faces.

just make a keyboard with a macbook like touchbar that's extremely customizable
The quality of this video and edit is insane, and your keyboards looks great. I think I will go with The Atomic for my work as a web developer.

ill buy one if you make it with mechanical switches and full size keycaps. Also make a full size one

My apple keyboard works just fine. not thanks
