    To everyone who is about to pile on regarding the lack of a fingerprint sensor: you know it's not possible, we all know it's not possible, the creator of this project knows it's not possible.

    What are you adding to the conversation when you complain about it? So it's a dealbreaker for you, don't buy it.

    To @aemerson_: Congratulations on taking a risk. On first look this is great work. The attention to detail on both the keyboard and the website is really impressive.

      Fingerprint sensor is technically possible: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;geekhack.org&#x2F;index.php?topic=120964.0" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;geekhack.org&#x2F;index.php?topic=120964.0

        fingerprint sensor is easily done. Touch ID-compatible fingerprint sensor from someone other than Apple is not possible as I understand it.
