A close view of a mechanical keyboard with a clear case, black keycaps, two yellow green knobs and a small screen showing the time and battery level.

Nomad [E]

Nomad [E] is a low profile mechanical keyboard by Work Louder with a small colour screen, three dials and four action buttons set into its top left corner, all of them programmable, sold in three colourways named, the makers say, after analogue tools and toys from their childhood: Graphite, Chalk and the see-through Atomic. In their own words: "The keyboard that merges work & play to get you in the zone and keep you there." It was funded on Kickstarter in mid 2023 by 893 backers and shipped to them, and a second generation, the Nomad [E] 2, has since taken its place in the shop.

The card is the second frame of the via post: the top left corner of the see-through board, its four round black buttons and two yellow green dial tops beside the small screen, which reads 12 17 with a full battery, the black keycaps running off to the right.
