## What is Typewriter Keyboard?

Keyboard is a Typewriter hardware SKU ($299). Same keys. A CNC mill — not a kickstand. Seat an iPhone, an 11-inch iPad, or a 13-inch iPad. Type. Read. Send still puts the chapter in the app. Send puts the chapter into the Typewriter app. CoAuthor does not run on the device.

### Fit the glass you already own.

Same keys. A CNC mill — not a kickstand. The slot flexes for an iPhone, an 11-inch iPad, a 13-inch iPad, and most Android tablets in that range. Seat it. Pair Bluetooth. Type. Read. The chapter still lands in the app. Kindle e-readers cannot take a keyboard — Amazon blocks it.

- iPhone · iPad 11" · iPad 13" · Android · Fire · Mac · Windows
- Flexible mill. Not a fixed kickstand
- Wordmark centered on the charge-port face

### Flexible. Not a dock with a pose.

The aluminum is milled to hold the glass you brought — phone or tablet — without a hinged kickstand that only likes one size. Seat it. It sits like paper in a typewriter. Pair Bluetooth, or plug USB-C. It is also a normal keyboard on any computer.

- iPhone through 13-inch iPad
- Android phones and tablets in that range
- Fire tablets work. E-ink Kindles do not type

### Built to be hit for hours.

Kailh Box Brown — dust-resistant, rated fifty million presses. Thick PBT caps. New starts a chapter. Send puts it in the app. Special is yours.

- Mechanical tactile switches
- PBT caps. Two ribbon-red keys: New, Send
- Send syncs the chapter to the app

### Wordmark, centered.

USB-C on the rear. The typewriter wordmark sits on that face, centered — not a badge in the corner. Same as Typewriter and Go.

### The book is one book.

Wi-Fi saves locally and to the app. Offline, USB-C acts like a drive. Edit later on the desk — bible, map, CoAuthor — when you want the laptop. Draft here so you don't.

## Frequently asked questions

### Will a Kindle attach?

It can sit in the Keyboard slot as a paperweight. It cannot take a Bluetooth keyboard. Amazon only allows Kindle Bluetooth for audio. Use iPad, iPhone, Android, Fire, or Mac.

### What is this, exactly?

A typewriter for authors. Mechanical keys and an e-ink page. TypewriterOS on the glass — write, and read. No internet in the way. Send puts the chapter in the Typewriter app. $499 is the desk machine. $399 is Go, the small clamshell. $299 is the keyboard, if you already have a tablet.

### App or TypewriterOS?

The app is the desk in your browser — binder, bible, map, CoAuthor. TypewriterOS is what runs on our e-ink: write and read, nothing else. Same book. Two rooms.

### Do I need the app?

The keyboard works as a Bluetooth board on any computer. To keep the book as one book, you use the Typewriter app. Typewriter and Go run TypewriterOS on the e-ink.

### Waitlist or pay now?

Waitlist: name and email, nothing charged, we write before we take money. Book now: you pay $299, $399, or $499 in full today. We hold a unit for the 13 January 2027 run. Refund before ship if we miss the date.

### Does CoAuthor run on it?

No. Draft here. CoAuthor proposes later, in the app, after the words land.
