This is not properly "news" but it totally escaped my radar.


The keyboard itself is not new, I believe the designer even posted here few years ago. It is called Qwerkywriter and it is sold at $250 just because it's "vintage". Now add an Umbrella sticker to it and it magically becomes a $675 expensive toy.

As far as I understand it's a special edition released for the remake of Resident Evil 2. Bluetooth, Cherry MX Blue, 1000mAh (meh!) battery. All you need to know is right here https://www.e-capcom.com/sp/biohazard2/

Ew, I'll take the FF Realforce over this at any time of the day

Seen this one a while back. They could've done a lot better than what they've done with rebranding a Qwerkywriter and hiking up the price.

Twerky writer... I wonder who actually bought this - rich people may have a lot of money and don't have so much time (e.g. to really get to know keyboards) you know.

it's mostly for hipster mac/ipad users

Well, I’m a Mac / iPad user, and this thing reeks of pish. Real hipsters tote real typewriters, surely.

That post was exclusively done to get your attention.

I thought hipsters would use Hanx Writer on their iPad Pros ... Edit: iPad Pro 2.

…………

Wait until one-upper hipsters (re-)discover pens.

Umbrella-branded pens, of cour$e. And paper, of cours€.

I've seen Massdrop drops for pricey fountain pens. But not paper -- yet.

Only plebs write in Latin. Or with ink, for that matter.



Hold on. I’ll get back to you when my tablet dries.
