I thought that initially too! haahaa
It's a hilarious juxtaposition if you ask me and probably a real hoot to use. =)
Yeah I'm really interested in the technology of it. Apparently the chip is able to sense which switch is pressed by the electric resistance when the key is pressed. So only a few switches are necessary for those letters/shift/spacebar that don't contact this one bar in the typewriter. Pretty awesome. I think it has potentially a lot of other applications than a keyboard perhaps even.
