I love the amount of development going into this. I for one can not wait for the Kickstarter.

Thanks! It is a work of love for sure for us. A commercial concern would find it difficult to justify that much time and effort (and therefore $$$) to perfect the ergonomics.

The PCBs of the new design for the fingers just arrived

Now we can see how the "Gamer's Edition" will look.

ISO-International 28-Key add-on keycap set is added to the plan to provide a good compromise for UK, DE, SE, NO, DK, IT, ES and PT layouts.

Okay we ended up with a 31 keycap set that is a good match for UK, DE and Nordic.
It is useful for IT, ES, PT but not a complete set.

I think you would still enjoy Glove80. One of our long term testers is a Japanese woman with rather small hands. She enjoys Glove80 very much. You can read her testimonial on our website www.moergo.com

80-LED "Gamer Edition" is now available as an option.

One thing we absolutely didn’t count on, was the amount of interest in the press. With Glove80 being a passion project, and so incredibly niche and elite (in the nicest way of course), we were flabbergasted to be covered by some of the most respected names like DesignBoom, Gizmodo Japan and Kristina Panos of Hackaday. In fact we have been interviewed and Glove80 will be featured in a proper paper magazine (yes they still exist!) in April.

If you want to know more about what the Press said about Glove80, please check the links at KickTraq (https://moergo.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=53ee8fd7d24388bc1268b79b4&id=fdd482f10d&e=31de8d604a)
