In reply to Lewis Hoffman. Thanks for the encouraging words, Lewis! We also believe that all things considered, the UHK is a one of a kind offering. You're right that even $0.5M is not a whole lot of money when it comes to developing, and bringing to market a product of this complexity. We suspect that this amount would be way higher for large, established companies given their heavy overhead. We will hardly break the bank for the first or second batch, but over time we expect to have a healthy profit margin. And you will certainly get your UHK - it's not even a question at this point. Cheers!

At this point I figure as long as I eventually get a UHK, I'm gonna be pretty stoked. And it's going to be an amazing value- like vastly awesomer than anything on the market at any price, let alone the very modest buy-in price. Even at almost $0.5M raised, I can see this is a long expensive process and I don't imagine the core team is exactly rolling in dough. I certainly hope that not only I get my UHK for the song I put into the project, but that you guys are able to continue and sell enough units at a price to get a good return on the sweat equity going into this. cheers, keep it up!

I'm simply astounded by the transparency of the development of this keyboard, it inspires confidence in your product. And delays are to be expected, better to do it right the first time than to spend the next year trying to patch up all the mistakes at launch.

Keep up the good work!

I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of my UHK, but don't rush the construction! Make sure it comes out right.

I am happy the closer the modules (esp. trackball) are to the release of the UHK. Unfortunately in this case my increased happiness comes from delaying the entire release of the keyboard itself! A double-edged blade.

I think you are doing a very good job of bringing the keyboard through the manufacturing and testing process successfully. You are learning a huge amount about manufacturing and getting a high-quality product to consumers. I am filled with admiration for you and your team, as you report the good news and the bad each month. Every worthwhile product takes time and sweat and effort, and there are always some number of mistakes and setbacks, too. The point is to keep forging ahead and getting the project to the finish line. As others are saying, keep up the great work.

In reply to EdbO. Yes, we thought about packaging and most of it is already designed in detail. The reason we haven't shown it is because we want to surprise you when you receive your UHK! Thank you for your support!

It was predictable. As two month ago. And as four month ago. But its still sad=(
