Jupiter Ace: a ZX80 with a Forth ROM. Inspired me to port an 8080 FIG Forth listing to the Camputers Lynx back in 83.

I would love a full sized keyboard made with those keys.

That aside, I will probably buy one of these. It is the ultimate nerd fiddle toy. Brilliantly done.

Now THIS is a cyberdeck. Its janky, cobbled-together nature and Forth "OS" give it that postapocalyptic feel.

It's great, this is the kind of content I look for in HackerNews, I'm so fucking tired of LLMs and AI posts

I would appreciate some extra markings on the keycaps for chords and numbers, and a sans-serif font, but this looks awesome as it is.
