Hey everyone,

Just wanted to give a quick heads-up for anyone who might have missed it, there are only 7 days left on the Kickstarter campaign for the TAIKO-01 keyboard!

If you haven’t seen it yet, there's some background here: https://lemmy.world/post/47465897.

You can find the campaign and all the details here:

Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/taikohub/taiko-01-keyboard

Official Site: https://taiko.taikohub.com/

What do you guys think of the layout and design? Anyone here already backed it?

Holy shit, that's a lot of money.

I like the design, I'm just wondering if you wouldn't be able to throw in a track ball or something like this in addition. I don't like switching from keyboard to mouse.

    Yeah track ball would need to be a later addition. Just trying to keep things simple for now to avoid extending the timeline too much. It can take 2-3 months just to manufacture the molds alone nevermind revisions.

    I can imagine, it would still be great though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Thanks! Oh and another thing regarding price is we're hoping to register it as a medical device at some point so that it can be covered by insurance. But just because I'm only familiar with US/Canada medical device regulations, we would prioritize US/Canada first.
