Seems like if you're part of the press, hands on inquires are accepted. Edited by stingraze 2023-02-02 7:49 AM

| That's great to see progress, but how comfortable do you think it will be to type on those unique shaped keys?

| Not really sure, but it might feel a little odd at first...
Netwalker's keyboard was a little strange. I think it will be better than that one, in what I imagine. |

| Well, Pocket Reform did go live.....
Anybody in?
Meanwhile, I looked Reform's site and see they already released a larger 12" laptop......
Interesting.....reminds me of the Frameworks laptop..... a la carte approach....

| If I had the money, I would buy it, but a little expensive for my current budget.

| Thanks, Mark. It's expensive, but its replaceable modules could save $ in long run. They were so smart about the kb--kept all the keys the same size, which allowed for a more-or-less standard format--individual TAB, quote/doublequote, etc, and all in the usual places or close to it. Kudos especially for the Right Shift key.

| Agree with your points, Jake....
Wish it was at least a few hundred less....but guess it has to do with relatively low volume production, so you don't get economies of scale like with high volume laptops, etc.
So it goes.....
