    Wow, beautiful. Both the site and the keyboard. I put a deposit down.

    Edit: in reply to the person above because I keep getting a "You're posting too fast. Please slow down. Thanks." error because I've made 2 posts in this thread apparently...

    Anyway, it would be neat if in the future the M-Dial slot could be used for a fingerprint reader or something else. Swappable items in that slot.

      Thank you so much! Really appreciate it. Glad you like the website too, I put a lot of effort into it.

      If you have any questions I'd be very happy to answer them.

        Honestly the price seems quite low for what you get (at $249) and what looks like might be a small batch production. I hope you can make a profit after everything is said and done at that price!

          This price is only for people who reserve before we launch on Kickstarter. I agree it is good value but also I should point out the retail price will be $349 for anyone buying after we fulfil all the pre-orders.

          Rest assured we are building a sustainable business that will be around for the long haul.
