I would want to type on one before I put it into the "I want one" category. Typing without tactile feedback on my iPhone is not pleasant and just because my hands would fit on this keyboard doesn't mean that they would stay on the correct home keys. But, maybe they've come up with some sort of solution to the problem.

The old solution was little dots of glue (carefully selected to avoid melting the board). E.g., put one dot on F and J. Many keyboards include such subtle hints, no reason that you couldn't use one on a foldable keyboard. Thinking about it, the first slate keyboard I saw in about 1978 or 9 someone did that, too. That was a keyboard without keys, used in a hardware lab because you could spill stuff on it, wipe it, and it just kept working.
