So you plug in the keyboard and you want to change how it works. So in the past, and in some other keywords now, you kind of go to the code. You need to know a little bit of C and be comfortable compiling stuff locally and building and installing the make toolchain and all that.

And I felt there was value in having a graphical configurator, a way that I can click stuff on my screen and see the keyboard and just change things in a browser, hit compile, and all that is done for me. And then I just get a binary file. It goes onto the keyboard. And all the smarts still live on the keyboard, but I didn't have to write all the code. Well, that's very smart. Yeah, it's fun.

It allows people to iterate and allows people to truly adapt the keyboard to what they need. Because if it's a high friction process, if it's really hard to change the keyboard to do what you need it to do, you're just going to stick with that as it came out of the box and you're missing out. So the game is to make it easy for people to adapt it to what they want to do.

So you take it out of the box, you plug it in, you go to an app in the browser, which, by the way, is freely available. You can play with the app before you buy. It's right there. You don't even need an account or anything. So you kind of get a sense for what it can do. You play around with this app, modify, compile, flash it onto the keyboard. All of this happens in the browser.

And then you type. And then you realize, oh, man, this isn't working for me. This key is... Uncomfortable. It's too much of a reach for my pinky. So you go in and you move that key, right? You just, for example, my, I don't like reaching for the space key. It's for the shift key. I'm sorry. I don't like reaching for the shift key. So my shift key is the same key as my space bar on my Voyager.

So my shift key is the same key as my space bar on my Voyager.

So when I hit it, it gives me a space. But if I want to capitalize a letter, I just hold down on the same key. and it becomes a shift. Nice. And that's under my thumb. That's why I'm doing the thing. If you're watching the video, that's my left thumb. So that level of adaptability makes a difference.

No, that's the fun. Well, yes and no. I'm going to go with no for the shape because as long as you are running cold Mac, as long as your letter keys are where my brain expects them, I'm good. I have a MacBook. I use the MacBook itself often, just like on the sofa or when I travel. Well, when I travel, it's with the keyboard, but I use the MacBook itself often.

It's just as fast because the shape is so, so different. Like when I'm using one of our keyboards, like I'm literally like this, like my chest is open, my shoulders are out. And it's one, the posture is different. Everything feels different. So it's like using two totally different instruments. So I'm just as fast.

Another word for it is maybe like a modality, like it's an input modality, right? So there's no confusion then. I think if we were to make a normal-looking keyboard, yeah, that would probably be a problem. Really? Because the shape is so weird and different. It's just... Not a non-issue.

Oh, yeah. So there's two halves. There's a cable in between. It's not wireless. We can go into that, by the way. That's a whole thing. Our keyboards are not wireless and will not be wireless for the foreseeable future. But there's cables. There's a cable separating both halves. And then it goes to the computer on the left side.
