THE keyboard uses an E-paper screen to display and exchange the characters, icons or symbols users allocate to its 81 keys. Plus, it's designed for use anywhere, with cable or wireless (Bluetooth) connections. It's above all billed as a global, universal solution, since it can theoretically be tailored to suit any language or alphabet. Each key is fully customizable, as well as the keyboard shortcuts.

Users can configure different keyboards for working in different languages, but also for the various software programs they work with. The same goes for shortcuts, making Nemeio, by definition, a unique keyboard in the world. It aims to let users switch from one configuration to another quickly and easily, as and when needed.

After being presented at CES, the famous Consumer Electronics Show held each year in Las Vegas, USA, the keyboard is now available to buy priced from US$239 (RM987.50) via Kickstarter. However, the first shipments aren't expected before September 2021. When it launches officially, the keyboard is due to sell for US$399. – ETX Studio, November 12, 2020
