  • If you can’t afford it, it isn’t for you, basically. It literally is a fashion accessory with a leather bed for the fancy pen, precisely what Montblanc is known for, and you’re arguing about a couple hundred bucks difference. Die on that hill if you like, but it’s telling how you’re convinced of its quality having never used it and zero reviews available.

    Personally I think it’s compelling, somewhat, and am curious how it was designed and what parts are used. I won’t buy one, but there is clearly a place in the market, as Supernote has proven.

    By the by, you ever wonder why nobody bothers posting to Lemmy? I sure don’t, pedantic semantics looks to be the main sport here, but hey why discuss the subject of this sub when the main feed can be filled with the inane questions of the lazy instead, amirite ;)


  • not that far off, especially compared to Montblanc’s typical pricing.

    Like if you wanna ignore that part, sure. This company sells $500 ballpoint pens, their watches are $3k and up. Last I looked they have a fancy pen that comes with the tablet. This is all very on brand for them, so like I said it’s surprising it doesn’t cost more. So yes I’d say similar ballpark to competitors, it ain’t like this is $3k or something, it’s under a grand, like all E Ink note taking tablets.

    And this isn’t even the first company to come up with selling a fancy pen for an E Ink note-taking device. Supernote has been selling fancy stylus pens for years now, including Lammy. All Montblanc is doing here is riding their coattails with their own branding.















  • Nope, I wrote the article and own the site. There are zero ads on the site, zero affiliation, nothing is monetized, zero data is tracked. I simply like the keyboard having built one from the last group buy, that I purchased myself.

    That’s my video for a sound test (the video isn’t monetized either), I wanted to share how it sounds and looks in celebration of a new group buy, as it is a very good split ortho. I say this as someone who owns and built over 50 high end mechanical keyboards over the last 8 years. I paid for my knowledge and then some. I got a lot of splits, the Altair is up there right at the top.

    Like seriously, you see any other sites writing this in depth while recording their own videos about $300 niche high end keebs? You wanna know why? There’s no money in it because you can’t affiliate this stuff. Why do you think every list of best keyboard is all slop off the shelf available on Amazon? Plus this sub is tiny and certainly doesn’t push any traffic, I only posted here because of the shared interest.
