I own one of these. They are surpassingly more comfortable than I thought, but I have small hands. I was disappointed by the full “beige” one called Tofu, that turned out to just be peach instead.

    I think that e-ink should be way more prevalent than it is in this kind of application, it’s way underused

      I love the idea of e-ink, but I think this specific application is a prime one for OLED. it needs to be self illuminating.

          What exactly are you doing with a mouse in the pitch dark, without even the light of your screen?! That’s some next level pervert business

        If this wasn’t trying to be as retro, I’d be right there with you, but I’ve seen a couple of small e-ink displays that have almost exactly the same contrast as, say, printing onto beige plastic. I can read the writing on my aged-to-beige Keystep controller from the light of my screen when running Logic, which ain’t bright.

      E-ink would definitely have looked cool as well on this, though most of the time you will not even see it since your hand covers it.
