Seeed Studio Launches $50 reTerminal Sticky eInk Display, Backing Open Firmware for DIY Users

Summary
$50 reTerminal Sticky is Seeed Studio’s new small magnetic eInk display, aimed at makers who want a cheap, hackable screen rather than a locked-down smart gadget.
Seeed is leaning on openness as the main selling point: the device supports web-based flashing for ESPHome, OpenDisplay, TRMNL and CrossPoint Reader, and the company advertises third-party firmware support on its own site.
The hardware adds a touchscreen, USB-C, microphone, temperature and humidity sensor, gyroscope and strong corner magnets, while the default software offers notes, calendar and AI dictation features.
Seeed positions the Sticky against the recent wave of DIY e-paper devices popularized by Xteink’s X4, undercutting the X3’s Amazon MSRP by about $19 while offering broader modding flexibility.
