There’s no place to rest your wrists, as on a laptop, but this never bothered me, even during extended writing sessions. The individual keys feel soft and comfy, with slightly raised sides that hug each finger. The clickiness (courtesy of Kailh Box Brown switches) is a little too loud for quieter settings like coffee shops or libraries, but in my opinion it’s not loud enough to bother, say, a roommate in another room. The keyboard, which feels like a mix between a typewriter and a mechanical keyboard, is punchy and clicky in a way that makes typing so, so satisfying. Thankfully, the device delivers this in spades. Writers who write fairly often and want to increase their word count will get a lot out of the device, but it’s a little too pricey for those who plan on using it only once in a while.Īn incredibly satisfying typing experienceĪbove all else, the Freewrite wants you to write a lot and to write often therefore, the typing experience itself should feel as comfortable and responsive as possible. I spent the past three months with the Freewrite to find out if it’s worth it. Enter: the $649 Freewrite, a digital typewriter-esque writing device that helps writers steer clear of distractions by eliminating the internet and offering tools to help you focus on writing and writing alone. When you’re sitting in front of a blank page on your laptop screen, it’s far too easy to open up Facebook, go down a Wiki hole or even play a game instead of focusing on writing. This might be especially true for writers. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, but for creative types looking to hone their passion, the internet can be as distracting as it is inspiring.
