Hi!

I've got two questions about input:

1. Will there be an ISO option for the keyboard layout? (To support non-US layouts, and for those who aren't familiar, just changing the key mapping isn't sufficient, ISO has an extra key and a different shape on the enter key)

2. Any plans to support Sensel touchpads? The tech is really amazing (I've heard the latest described as better than a macbook)

Yes, we have some photos on the website currently showing ANSI and ISO keyboard geometry. As we continue to add more keyboard languages, there will be both ANSI and ISO ones depending on the language (and JIS for Japan).

The touchpad is replaceable, though we don't currently have plans for alternate types.
