    Maybe a bit (a lot) overboard with the marketing snazz on this page.

    it's a keyboard

    It's not a miracle.

    If you're going to have all this 3D imagery, put a glTF model viewer on the page, and let me look at it.

    though to be told, I definitely want one. low profile keyboards are indeed my jam. I don't know why the hell keyboards need to have batteries though. No one needs a wireless keyboard. Wires are not that much of a pain in the ass. Coiled, self-retracting keyboard cables are a thing. Keyboards do not need to be wireless. Wires are fine, I promise! Wireless mouse? Sure. Wires make the mouse move when you don't want it to move. Wireless credential entry device? Those should remain wired, I think.
