Freewrite’s latest keyboard has a mechanical word-counter to track your writing


It’s time to write that great American novel.

Discounts will be available to early backers, but Astrohaus is also currently selling $1 refundable reservations that promise “priority access” and “exclusive early-bird pricing.” The Freewrite Wordrunner features a compact tenkeyless design, a body made from durable die-cast aluminum, backlit “high-quality tactile switches,” and several layers of sound deadening so it can be used in shared spaces without itself becoming a distraction to others nearby. It means the Wordrunner loses keys dedicated to controlling media playback, but that’s all handled through a rotating red joystick in the upper left corner of the keyboard that can be pressed or moved in four directions for skipping tracks or making volume adjustments.
