I have been playing with a prototype for a few weeks now. This could change the way you do the thing you do, at work, more than anything else. Jesse and Kaia are doing this for the right reason: to fix something we underappreciate.

I love the idea of something more form fitted for your hand and to help make typing less straining and more enjoyable. I, like Xavier above, have a hard swallow at the price though. Have you considered other materials and multiple price tiers? I'm sure that there are plenty that would love the benefits of the format, but don't really care about the more pricey aesthetic components.

We're proud to introduce the Keyboardio Model 01, an heirloom-grade keyboard designed for folks who spend their days and nights at a keyboard. With a milled hardwood body, mechanical switches & custom-sculpted keycaps, it's a dream to type on. The Model 01 comes with source code & a screwdriver. You can preorder yours on Kickstarter starting today.

Very cool keyboard. As a developer, it looks like it would be great to use. The price, while reasonable for a seemingly quality build, is still hard to accept without being able to physically touching the using the keyboard first hand. A product like this, its all about taking it for a drive. Any plans on attending any shows in the Miami, FL market? I'd love to test this thing.
