Meet the Zerowriter Ink—a sleek, modern-day tribute to the classic AlphaSmart Neo that’s all about getting your words down without the fuss. Created by the enthusiasts at Zerowriter in partnership with Soldered Electronics, this e-paper word processor is built around the impressive Inkplate 5, known for its crisp display and top-tier refresh rates.
Zerowriter Ink comes fully assembled and ready to use, with a low-profile mechanical keyboard that feels right under your fingers. No accounts to set up, no distractions—just a clean, instant-on writing experience that lets you focus on what matters most: the words.
Whether you’re tapping away at home, in a café, or under the shade of a tree, Zerowriter Ink’s battery is ready to go the distance—offering up to a week of daily use or a month on standby. And for the tinkerers out there? The Arduino-based software is open-source and hackable, so you can customize your experience, whether tweaking the writing tools or turning it into something entirely new.
Backers of the upcoming Crowd Supply campaign will get their hands on this beautifully simple device and join a growing community of writers and developers pushing the boundaries of what a writing tool can be. So, whether you’re a seasoned novelist, a student, or just someone who loves the feel of a good keyboard, the Zerowriter Ink is here to make sure nothing stands between you and your next masterpiece.
If you are intrigued, be sure to keep your eyes peeled on Zerowriter Ink’s Crowd Supply page. Even better, get yourself signed up to be notified when the campaign goes live. The idea of a modern-day AlphaSmart Neo or digital typewriter isn’t new by the way. We saw one impressive offering way back in 2014.
