Always Advancing: Freewrite Smart Typewriter's New Dual Upgrade

August 06, 2024 | 2 min read

At Freewrite, we believe in the power of constant refinement. Our commitment to providing writers with the best possible tools is an ongoing journey, not a destination.

Today, we're excited to share the latest chapter in the Freewrite Smart Typewriter's evolution – two enhancements that demonstrate our dedication to continuous improvement.

First, new Freewrite Smart Typewriters now come equipped with premium, thick PBT keycaps.

Let's quickly explain what PBT keycaps are for those unfamiliar with keyboard materials. PBT(Polybutylene Terephthalate) is a high-quality plastic used in top-of-the-line keyboard keycaps. Compared to the more common ABS(Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) plastic, PBT offers superior durability, texture, and resistance to wear. This material choice significantly impacts the typing experience and longevity of the keyboard, making it a preferred option for discerning writers and typists who demand the best from their tools.

Here’s why our PBT keycaps make a difference:

⏳ Unmatched Longevity: Our PBT keycaps are highly resistant to wear, wear more slowly than ABS, and the pattern of wear is more even, so your Smart Typewriter will maintain its pristine look and feel even after countless writing sessions.

⌨️ Enhanced Tactile Feedback: Experience a more satisfying typing sensation with PBT's slightly textured surface, providing improved grip and a premium feel with every keystroke.

😊 Superior Acoustic Profile:Thanks to PBT's higher density and superior sound absorption properties, each keystroke produces a deeper, more solid sound compared to traditional ABS keycaps. This results in a rich auditory typing experience that's music to a writer's ears.

✨ Oil-Resistant Finish: Keep your Freewrite looking fresh for years to come. PBT resists the shine that develops on lesser ABS keycaps, maintaining a clean, professional appearance.

Second, we’ve redesigned the handle, combining the previously separate metal and plastic components into a single die-cast aluminum piece, the same metal as the body.

📐 Sleek Design: By combining the distinct parts, we’ve created a seamless uninterrupted profile that not only looks stunning but feels great in your hand.

💪🏼 Unparalleled Durability: Crafted from high-quality aluminum, our new handle is built to last. It's resistant to wear, scratches, and the rigors of daily use, ensuring your Freewrite maintains its exceptional look and feel for years to come.

💎 Premium Tactile Experience: Feel the difference with every touch. The cool, solid metal provides a satisfying tactile experience that plastic simply can't match. Its smooth contours and balanced weight offer a comfortable grip, enhancing the overall feel of your Freewrite.

These upgrades represent our ongoing commitment to providing writers with the best possible tools for their craft. We can't wait for you to experience these enhancements firsthand.

All new Smart Typewriter orders placed after July 23, 2024 will ship with these exciting new design features.

For those new to Freewrite, there's never been a better time to discover the focus and productivity our devices offer. Experience the next evolution of Smart Typewriter – order yours today!

Happy writing,
