Alpha

Bought this based on the promise of an improved international keyboard. Unfortunately, I am utterly disappointed because the selected layout makes writing less fluid and more convoluted. I also heard it doesn't come with non-latin support.
Physically speaking, it is comfortable, but the keyboard mess-up is a big downer.
I do not plan to buy a new one.

Since acquiring the Alpha, I have increased my writing exponentially, both in quality and quantity. I write rather than pointlessly scroll, and have at least two uninterrupted fifteen minute "Freewrite" sessions daily. Highly recommended.

I used to write and edit at the same time, making any bit of writing a large undertaking which means that I wrote infrequently and took a long time with it. This writer has fixed that by encouraging me to write more, longer pieces without worrying about how it would be finalized which has gotten more of my story on paper than anything else. As a writer, this sort of technology is truly indispensable!

I have been wanting a Freewrite for so long! I saved up and was debating between the Alpha and the Hemingwrite and decided to go with the Alpha after seeing a something that mentioned getting the Alpha as a starter/introduction device and that really was a great bit of advice. It’s been wonderful! The portability of it, the ease of use, the simplicity of it, and the feel of it. I love the keys/ switches. It’s super satisfying! I’ve made a lot of headway with my writing and I am so excited to see where it all goes!
At first, my initial tester drafts did not save, but they have been good since then. It may have been because I didn’t get a chance to set up my cloud saving account until after I had done an initial test. Everything has been saving and uploading to the cloud seamlessly!
I am excited to save up again to get a Hemingwrite down the road!

Yes very nice. I had bought the ink but needed to intuitively know all the keys. I can see the keys on the alpha and when I become more fluent will use both equally.
