CharaChorder LC has just started shipping a new product which was Kickstarted at +1000% funding almost one year ago. The CharaChorder Lite is a simple yet powerful twist on the traditional keyboard. In addition to the ability to output individual characters, users can also press many keys together simultaneously to output entire words or phrases in a single keystroke. This ability allows users to type faster than is physically possible on any other keyboard! For example a user can chord "word" by simply mashing w+o+r+d simultaneously instead of typing out w, then o, then r, then d individually.
Though the devices have just started shipping, multiple users have already broken their all time personal records using the device, reaching speeds as high as +250 WPM. (The average qwerty user's speed is only 40 WPM) This is especially noteworthy, because the mission of CharaChorder is to raise average human text transmission speed to 250 WPM. This speed, which corresponds to the average adult's reading comprehension speed, is also how CharaChorder defines 'the speed of thought'.
Riley Ford Keen, the CEO of CharaChorder LC, had this to say: "It's been truly humbling. The response we've seen for CharaChorder Lite serves to further prove what we already know: that together we can make the power of chorded text entry accessible to the masses! It is our hope that this product inspires a new wave of intelligent peripherals and helps to establish new standards in text entry for the digital age."

CharaChorder Lite is now available for public order, for the temporary discounted price of 199.99 USD.
