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.
holy cow it’s pretty. I feel like the screen should be e-ink and not OLED though.
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.
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.
This. E ink is as useful as a book in the dark.
