It's beautiful and sparks joy. But a Zoom F3 is a strictly superior device in all dimensions and costs $350. This recorder doesn't even support microSD cards or replaceable batteries. It's fundamentally unserious.

Which designs would you consider aesthetically pleasing?
As for a design I personally consider timeless… how about the Lamy 2000 fountain pen?
Gorgeous bauhaus design, and completely user disassembleable by hand with 0 tools. The body is made from Makrolon, which is fiberglass infused lexan. Feels great in the hand, with a slight warmth and texture, and practically indestructable.
Writes like a dream, too. Been in continuous production for over 60 years.

Lamy 2000 is built with pure Bauhaus ideals and it nailed every one of them on the head. I have many and use them constantly. I think Lamy 2000 is the only "Objectively good" fountain I have ever seen and used, and it hides its properties so well, too. It's a very understated masterpiece of design and engineering.
Those three are: engrave the nib size somewhere visible on the nib; make it in colors besides dark grey on a regular basis; and make the ink window out of a clearer plastic. If you could actually see the ink color that’s be nice.
That said based on the Zoom F3 site I do want one and it is also affordable for me, whereas the TP-7 is way too much for me to afford.
I think this strictly falls into second category, and there's nothing wrong with that.
It gets my goat that these systems are so stingy on channels. Add a couple more. It costs so so little. The attempts to price differentiate self-sabotage this market for me.
I hope we can see some good tactile peripherals emerge. Not full products, but like, a USB spinning disk one can also scrub on, as like this.
