You know how sometimes you’re typing out an email on the iPad and you wish the process was slower and louder? Well, good news! Industrial designer Austin Yang has created the iTypewriter. Unlike other high tech iPad keyboards that are portable and rely on the “fad” of Bluetooth, Yang’s iTypewriter kicks it super old-school, relying on touch-capacitive hammers to actually bang into the screen.

I don’t know, for some reason I love this thing, although Yang’s video doesn’t exactly give me the impression the iTypewriter will be a real game changer in productivity.

For some specific group of users, this product provide an easier way to type on the ipad. People could be able to recollect old experience and memory by familiar appearance and haptic feedback.
