I checked out the website and the basic principle is that you can type words with "chords" or a specific combination of keys. The wikipedia page for Chorded keyboard has their product as an example on it.

So he reinvented stenography?

I guess that's why he's more focused on the magnets and such since that's where the innovation lies.

A steno machine is just a kind of chorded keyboard.

Yeah but it’s a different type of steno machine. You can also just type on it without using chords. So you can use it in applications where a steno machine wouldn’t work. Like in programming.
