Interesting keyboard:

One finer can simultaneously press finger-tip and finger-pad combo.

Saw it. Interesting but the lack of keycaps.... Similar concept to datahand

Very interesting concept with lots of good choices, but I'm also not convinced that the lack of keycaps is a good idea.

The key surface area is now significantly reduced (~3x smaller?), which means that you need much more accurate finger movements (with your hands practically locked in place), hitting a surface that was not designed to be fingertip friendly.

I can't imagine how this can be comfortable over longer typing sessions.

i like the choices for construction and adjustability.

similar to the dmote (https://viktor.eikman.se/article/the-dmote/) i saw a while ago.
