Imagine having a word processor without letters on the keys.

(Only partially kidding)

LOL at least you can get your own fancy keycap set 😅 I wonder if the launch versions will offer labels

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

Well duh, why would I want Egyptian hieroglyphs on my keyboard??? /s

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
