Tacet keyboard seen from a three-quarter angle on a dark surface: a low wedge with a flat glass top and a single cable.

Typing, minus the sound.

Tacet has no switches, no keycaps and nothing to bottom out. Each key moves less than half a millimeter. The loudest part of typing on it is your fingertip touching glass.

[MEASURED LOUDNESS TO COME]

One surface. 104 keys.

The top is a single sheet of matte glass, a tenth of a millimeter thick, over an aluminum frame. Raised dots on F and J find home for you. A finer finish over each key tells your fingers where the edges are.

Close view of the home row on the glass surface, with raised dots on the F and J keys.

It knows the difference between resting and pressing.

Every key measures force. Rest all ten fingers on the glass and nothing happens. Press past your threshold and the key fires. You set the threshold, from a light 30 grams to a firm 150, key by key.

The click is under your fingertip.

A small actuator under each key answers every press with a short tap. You feel it. The room does not. Turn it down, or off.

Quiet, and quick.

Hold a key and it stays held. Tap it ten times a second and every tap counts. Profiles are stored on the keyboard, so there is no software to install.

Questions

Is it really glass?

Yes. The typing surface is chemically strengthened glass a tenth of a millimeter thick, bonded over aluminum.

Can I rest my fingers on it?

Yes. Keys respond to force, so resting does nothing.

Does it work for gaming?

Yes. It reports 1000 times a second and handles held keys and fast repeats.

Does it need software?

No. It appears to your computer as a standard keyboard, and settings are stored on the keyboard.

When does it ship?

Mid 2028, as an estimate. Tacet is still in development, so the date can move. If it does, we will tell you, and your deposit stays refundable.
