$139 (early Kickstarter price) feels surprisingly low if it works like they claim - a wacom with a display is significantly more expensive, lower display resolution, less portable, and totally different ergonomics (for good or bad). Though they are also a second screen. Makes me wonder if it'll work on other computers. Not as slickly of course, but it'd probably still function, except maybe for the software (if any)...

You won't get any of the subtle display animations and UI niceties for a capacitive touchscreen on desktop. It will function like those old Nokia touchscreens/Windows Mobile stylus point and click.

  I'm good without the animations, thanks. I disable them everywhere already. Small touch targets is true, but with how expansive UIs have gotten since Windows Mobile it's FAR less of an issue and I've used it just fine in the past (external touch display). The most difficult target is usually the window close button, but the consequences for missing that are nearly zero, and practically everything else is more than large and space-buffered enough if you don't close your eyes before reaching for the screen. And that's before liquid glass redesigns.

Wacom is a big name brand. You can get pen displays from brands like XP Pen and Huion for not much more (https://www.amazon.com/XP-PEN-Artist12-Battery-Free-Multi-Function-Sensitivity/dp/B07GNK18VJ https://www.amazon.com/XP-PEN-Artist12-Battery-Free-Multi-Fu...). And they are true second displays. If all you want is a pen tablet then those are much less expensive.

  That one is still twice the price and half the resolution, and I don't see anything about touch. I mostly agree though, Wacom is far from the cheap option.
