    Imagine having a word processor without letters on the keys.

    (Only partially kidding)

      That’s not an uncommon thing, actually. One of the most famous mechanical keyboards, the Das Keyboard, was by default glyph-less.

      I guess letters are a distraction.

        Not if you already don’t look at the keyboard while typing, plus you use multiple layouts

      Don’t even have to imagine. IBM made those into the early 90s. My family had one

      I thought the keys were E-ink too, so you can show any letter, image or disable them. I kinda wish I had such a keyboard with programmable E-ink; I mean my entire keyboard, not a fancy extra thing.

      None of my keyboards do and I don’t use qwerty so it’s also funny when someone else tries to use my PC and fails miserably
