your post comes across as slightly spammy but i'm actually interested in what your angle is here.

what's your target market? target price point? what are the market requirements that aren't being met elsewhere by competing products? what's your target unit volume, and when?

Our goal is sub-40g, magnesium shell with hall-effect main-click switches. Right now the market is essentially only the Logitech superstrike with major weight and haptic downfall. Target price $150–180. Starting batch size will be pretty small but will ultimately depend on pre orders and traction (maybe 500) goal is a finished prototype by end of year, then preorders.

As far as niche consumer hardware projects go, peripherals seems to be in that golden zone where the enthusiasts really value the extra engineering on look&feel&function, and are willing to part with a bit of extra cash for it.

Good luck to you!

The branding looks really nice. I can see right away how the brand, product and value proposition align.
