Customer:

I’m comparing the Inkplate 10 across different sources. The open source schematic and the Crowdsupply page show 3 buttons on the board, but the current product page doesn’t mention them. Which version is accurate?

Soldered Support:

The current version sold does not have touch buttons. The Crowdsupply page shows the first version of the board. The current open source schematic is available here: GitHub - SolderedElectronics/Soldered-Inkplate-10-hardware-design: Hardware design, BOM, gerbers and 3D files for Soldered-Inkplate-10 designed by Soldered Electronics. · GitHub

Customer:

Can the button version still be purchased? Or is it no longer produced? What are the tradeoffs between the versions?

Soldered Support:

The Inkplate 10 is no longer produced with touch buttons. To compensate, many free IO pins are available on the board for users to connect whatever they want.
