The fn/control/alt/command keys ought to have been changable as well, since they differ from system to system and I think a lot of VIM and emacs fans like to change them.

The ~ key also change when you change locale, so that's quite unfortunate that it is static as well.

Reminds me a lot of the Optimus keyboards from Art Lebedev, except at a much more affordable price (and no color or status bar):

Personally, I'm starting to get a bit burnt out by all the early pre-order hardware sales lately, but I'm looking forward to seeing the reviews on this thing when it ships.

Can we get e-ink keys separately? It'd be great to solder-my-own for an ergodox.

I'm also interested in keyboards that can change shape. I like the shape of a TI-83, and I don't really like typing equations into Mathematica and LaTeX. I don't have an plan for this, but I'm interested.

you'll have a lot of ribbon cables, it probably won't work very well with mech kbs
Thanks for the post, I'm one of the engineers.
