Ok so I've been reading this thread for two days now, bit by bit.
This is amazing. Lowpoly, hats off to you. The design of this keyboard is impeccable. It's perfect, pretty much. It's amazing watching this thing evolve throughout the last, what, year or so?
I wish that I could do something for the project (other than buying a few of them, obviously) that might actually aid in the development. Well, it looks like you're pretty much done with development and you need to find someone for manufacturing/tooling? Do you need investors? Sales reps? Buzz generators?
I think this product needs a big viral-style marketing effort at the least. IIRC a lot of niche items start like that. Are you planning on showing the item at trade shows? The computer "enthusiast" market has been pretty stale lately, and the small form factor + simple layout might convince some distributers/retailers to help you "launch" the product.
No matter the price, I think quality matters. I wouldn't rush anything out or skimp on any 'luxury' aspect of this board. The very first run of these babies should be totally bulletproof. I believe that the #1 killer of enthusiast-targeted products is ANY public perception of low-quality. You get a couple people complaining about sticky keys, paint chipping, transpostion errors, compatibility issues, or anything like that... The whole community starts to bandwagon. To reiterate what I just said- I don't care if the product retails at $300, as long as it's a quality product, 100% reliable and solid as a rock, that "enthusiast" market will bite.
Anyway, I'm preaching to the choir here. You guys on the team will do marketing right, i'm just ranting and raving.
Awesome, awesome idea.
