I don't mean to be that guy, but I think if you are selling a product the production values on the video should be higher.

I am interested in the product, but I found the distorted audio to be distracting. I would recommend removing the twitch-like view of the narrator and focusing more on the product, with a higher quality mic.

If the narrator is going to be shown, I would recommend cutting directly to them, while preferring voice-overs, as again I think the product itself should be the the focus.

I would also recommend using less jittery transitions, and avoiding green screen when showing the live action narrators, rather I would recommend showing the room they are in as well as the product, so we can see them use the keyboard early in the video. Lighting and camera stabilization would be important here.

(Disclaimer: I am not a professional in any capacity and my words should be taken with a grain of salt. In fact I would highly recommend hiring a professional to assist with marketing and PR videos like this one.)

I wonder why they ended up with a physical product and not just some softwear.

There is already software for steno/chorded typing, like plover. Their product could be more ergonomic than other chord inputs, where you sometimes press two keys with the same finger at once.
