Looks cool but personally I much rather press a key then have a virtual key on a touch pad. Not having keys is the main drawback of typing on a bigger touch screen anyway.

I have been using a surface with the touch keyboard for a few months now, and initially it was hard to use given no feedback to say a button was pressed. But after a few days i got used to it. I think this would be a good addition. Although as long as it offers a good screen protection when it is attached and closed on the tablet.

The touch keyboards on the Surface work because you can leave your fingers on the keys (without getting gibberish). I would be less inclined to use this as (while thinner) I suspect it would be uncomfortable very quickly.

You can see in their video that they don't leave their hands on the device. That's not a keyboard I would want to use...

So it's an opaque touchscreen, got it.
