I wish more keyboards would integrate that little red Lenovo mouse nub.
Some thoughts:
- allow me to maximize the youtube embed on your site, I can't really see the video clearly enough to gauge the product so had to open it on youtube
- little green cursor in your vid is very hard to see
- took me a long time to understand that your cells were rectangles, so "2 characters of any cell" didn't make sense for a while, maybe you could emphasize it (if only for the video)
Agree about the rarity of trackpoints. One manufacture of those is TEX (Shinobi, Yoda), always wanted to try one out. Still waiting for someone to make a custom keyboard in an Alice (or similar) style with a trackpoint; that way you could have a trackpoint but also use standard MX keycap sets. The TEX ones would involve carving into the G, H, and B keys.
I am intrigued by this product, but the video is, frankly, terrible marketing.
People want to know two things:
1. Is it quick?
2. Is it easy.
Demonstrating the first is easy, but your product will live or die by whether you can demonstrate the 2nd, and its already working against you: First impression is an overwhelming matrix of letters. The video's demonstration ignores this, and explains "type the letters in the cell", and then the video moves on within a second, when he should slow down and explain.
My recommendations:
Don't say cell, say box. Its less technical.
Don't assume people realize that each box has a unique combination of letters, tell them.
Say: "Each box has two letters, and no two boxes have the same two letters. Type those two letters and your cursor moves to the box."
Ok, I just sent this to all my ex-IBM colleagues. They were so shy at the time, +20 years ago, to say the little word "clit" in formal meetings, especially with customers. I think they used "the red dot mouse pointer thing" in formal settings. Informally, it was the eternal short name: "the clit".
