You can already find Corne-inspired keyboards with these features, but up until the introduction of this Toucan design, you couldn't find a Corne keyboard with all those features together.
- Wireless
- Integrated pointing device
- Aligned 1u thumb keys
- E-ink screen
- Aluminium plate
- Below $200
I'm interested for sure. Thanks for sharing.
Once you get the presoldered board it is ~$300. I'm not into keyboards, is it common to price them without key caps and switches? I noticed that.
I'm not sure I see the e-ink screen as useful, but that touchpad caught my eye. What do people use that screen for?
I've been using the UHK with a trackball thumb module[1]. I haven't touched a mouse since I got it. It's not as eye catching and futuristic, nor wireless, but a sturdy keyboard and it paid for itself by not having to go to physiotherapy for the past five years (for RSI).

Yes very common. Most places sell without caps and switches.
Closer to calculator LCDs than e-ink technically. I know, it's a nitpick, but real e-ink is such a wonderful technology.
i love my corne, it's such a joy to use.
