Can't help but feel like people are only thinking about programming with this. For someone who speaks multiple languages, being able to switch between configurations as easily as you can on a phone seems like it would be super useful.

Languages, app hot keys, emoji, game controls, custom performance options for laptop DJs, musicians, VJs, etc...

Many applications.

This looks really interesting. Yes/no depends on key feel.

I wasn't convinced by the Apple chiclet keyboard when I saw it, but I've lived with one for a year and a half now, and I'm completely comfortable with it.

If this has a similar feel I'll be seriously tempted.

The user experience in both the hardware and software is critical, we've put a ton of work in refining the experience. The laptop module is designed to the same standard as an existing laptop keyboard (65g, 1.2mm travel and similar force profile).

This.

P.s I hate this comment on reddit but I couldn't help myself. The mech is also manufactured to the spec for a standard laptop spec, it should feel pretty familiar.

I speak (and type in) two languages that have different layouts. While I touch-type most of the time, I still need to look for some things occasionally. Eventually I simply got custom printed keycaps from WASD where one language has symbols in upper right, the other in upper left.
