On a whim I sent them a message asking if they had considered developing one of these with a keyboard instead of controls.
Here is their response
I will keep a lookout. Would be neat to have a modular umpc like that, simply replace the pi for an upgrade, and the whole thing is low cost. Might...
I am very grateful for daves work!
I simply would have preferred to have the Pyra and be able to apply the patches hot off the press.. We all know the software will get better, and many people will dev stuff as well....but they can't without the Pyra
That is super cool but yeah i wish they had literally the same setup with a thumb keyboard instead of controls.
They could use the analog for mouse and the triggers for click
I mean it's honest. It's been almost another half a year since everything has "been ready for production," and still nothing...

I would bet it isn't until 2021
This thing is super weird.
Windows isn't very touch or control friendly in the OS. I guess they chose it for game compatibility but it seems odd to not have a keyboard.
This was mostly my thinking. With the decent onboard storage size and a 400gb sd card I haven't had any issues. I also dont really game much so the controls dont matter as much to me.
The keyboard is great, I wrote this whole post with it. The Cosmo updates...are not. The front screen is usable...
I think at this point I will use the Cosmo more. Still in the Pyra because of how much I still love my Pandora. But tbh I have been contemplating canceling for a few years because it's always "right around the corner," and another year passes.
Since preorder I have lived in 4 different places...
Well by that metric my Cosmo Communicator is the best bet.
It works but I'm a bit disenfranchised with the front screen integration.
It would be fantastic if Linux were better implemented as well.
To be fair, this statement implies OP has been trying to get a refund for weekS.
If he has been trying for weeks that is pretty bad business given the preorder was basically an interest free loan for years.
