Since I've got a keyboard with blank keycaps, I've found my typing's improved because I look at the keyboard less (and when I do it doesn't really help). With this, I imagine you'd look at the keyboard more as time goes on. That's a negative to my mind. If I'm going to be looking at the buttons I'm pressing, I may as well use the mouse and an on-screen toolbar.
I suppose it might be useful if you wanted to switch languages and keyboard layouts a lot, but then so would my capless keyboard, if in a somewhat less user-friendly manner.

- SonderDesign 11y agoG'day, I'm one of the engineers; the keys aren't ABS; they're manufactured of SAN so we haved observed issues with cloudiness and distortion one would have with ABS. Also the optical properties of SAN are far better; it acts as tranmissive medium. Also, it's not chicklet keys lol; I'm a cherry blue user at home usually; the mechanism is based on a modified topre. Cheers mate for the feedback, if you have any questions just shoot.
- busterarm 11y agoAhh! Interesting choice of plastic there. You'll have to go for inclusion into the Deskthority wiki for plastic types. As a Topre adherent, I'm interested in hearing more about your keycap mecahnics :)
- SonderDesign 11y agoI'll def post there, I'd love to say more but patents! However, needless to say; we're excited to be working on the product and an entirely new mech that hopefully becomes the standard in keyboards / laptops.
- themartorana 11y agoAm I alone in absolutely loving coding on chicklet keys?
- FranciscoSM 11y agoHaha, guilty pleasure, right?
