Interesting. Thanks. So an ortho keyboard with trackpad keycaps that span multiple keys. I wonder where they sourced the one-key-wide pads? This might be a relatively painless way to introduce trackpad keycaps into an existing keyboard ecosystem.

Product-wise, they seem to be in a multi-year struggle to get to production.

Web-dev lesson: A video-based ui, emphasizing closeups, where the video visuals stall, but music continues, with a hidden-by-default slider and no spinner, is an unfortunate combination.
