Just for the sake of speculation, Fatar probably had plans to produce a bunch of Poly AT keybeds for the Anyma Omega product that has been cancelled…
“Probably” doing some heavy lifting since I couldn’t find anything on Fatar’s site.
You won’t find any relevant information on any keybed manufacturer’s website, so searching there is always pointless unfortunately.

Fair, I did see that supposedly the same “mono aftertouch” keybeds were being utilized by Waldorf elsewhere.
I could always email, but effort++
The new Dreadbox Artemis doesn’t come with a keyboard (unless there is a keyboard version to be announced) so I wonder whether Dreadbox is announcing a synth with PolyAT in the next days, or that was it for now.
The pertinent quote from the article linked above :
Q: Any hints on a new Dreadbox release? Can you reveal what you are working on right now?
Y: We are currently working on a new synth that is probably going to be released in 2024. And for the first time, it will have keys and it’s not going to be a desktop synth. So far we haven’t used keys mostly because of the manufacturing process and secondly, because it’s not that easy to find actually good keys. We’re now planning to use a Fatar keybed which has probably the best keybed you can find. But they do make a ton of difference when you play them so I decided to have the best possible keybed for our first synth with keys.
My read of this is sometime this year, and not necessarily a keybed with poly-aftertouch, though that would be nice.
