Hey remember this thing from CES last year? I left my meeting with CharaChorder quite impressed by also with a lot of questions, and wanting answers that I am still curious about. Fast forward an year and some change, and it appears that the CharaChorder is actually up for sale somewhat? The render there is different looking from the original retail renders, and there is a 2-month lead time as well, but this has not stopped the company from putting up a more relatable keyboard form factor on Kickstarter.

Dubbed the CharaChorder Lite, it is a 60% keyboard that manages to squeeze in arrow keys in there too. But the most interesting thing here is no doubt the adoption of the company's patented "chorded entry" system that allows for chords and phrases to be typed in simultaneously, and not one one character at a time. I will reserve judgment on how easy it is to adapt to this system until I test a unit in person if possible, however the company is promising training modules for owners to help reduce the entry barrier. The CharaChorder Lite has already met its funding goals on Kickstarter, and comes available at a much more attainable price too compared to the original CharaChorder.
