After launching a crowdfunding campaign in 2024, the creator of the
Zerowriter Ink began shipping the portable writing device with an E Ink
display and mechanical keyboard earlier this year. One drawback to that
model though, was that the screen wasn’t tilted forward, making it hard
to see what you’re typing without moving your neck. […]

We picked up the FreeWrite Traveler a year or so ago, which looks like it's the same basic idea, thinking it would help our teen with distraction free writing. I was pretty interested in it myself for the same reason.

The Freewrite, at anyrate didn't really live up to it's promise, its just very slow and I can outtype the screen refresh by 5-10 characters, making it pretty miserable to use.

You could just log into a text console on a Linux laptop and run a
text editor like Emacs full-screen.
