This two stage fundraising campaign sounds a little fishy. Even if Stage 1 completes, there's no guarantee that Stage 2 will actually happen, in which case all we've done is help a guy create a prototype and patent it. He can then go on and license the technology to anyone, and forgot the second campaign, and our Stage 1 donations are rendered moot. The ten year delay between concept and release prototype crowdfunding campaign doesn't exactly fill me with confidence that this guy has got the hustle to get it done.
I am utterly baffled why a donation of $190 gets you two keyboards, and a donation of $500 gets you... one keyboard.
Maybe I'm just burned out on these crowdfunding things... the one project I backed is already one year past its deliver date and doesn't look like it has any chance of ever delivering. It's just an iPhone case, for crying out loud.
