Any ideas on how it knows where you "are" on the keyboard? I.e. How does it know you're pressing the "W" key?

  Based on this 4-minute review video linked earlier [1], it seems it's not actually a QWERTY keyboard, but rather a custom scheme where specific finger-movements correspond to specific letters. They say the five vowels are the basic tap on each corresponding finger, and other letters are more complicated. They show and mention an app that trains you how to use it; think Dance Dance Revolution and other timed 'arrow' games where you have to tap out the correct response. I think it'd be better if it assumed homerow placement on a QWERTY and worked from there -- to be able to calibrate it to your hand, e.g. by typing a little bit on an actual keyboard to pick up the placement of your fingers for each letter. There's an app idea. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pq3exdcbU7U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pq3exdcbU7U

    looks cool for steno, where you one press of both hands to input a whole word. But they still have 2 keys per finger... https://youtu.be/JXQQzW99cAI https://youtu.be/JXQQzW99cAI

  My guess is that it might be like playing an instrument like the trumpet. Where instead of pressing different combinations of buttons to play different notes you do different combinations of taps to type letters. It says it comes along with a game to get you used to how it works.
