The Man With The Design

This nifty device is the brainchild of Brian Min, a game developer, and is born of his love for modern mechanical keyboards and typewriters. His successful Kickstarter campaign ended $129,164 over the initial $90,000 goal. The pictures that accompany this article are of the prototype, with the actual end product advertised to be CAD engineered, machine tooled and factory built.

It can now be pre-ordered from his Kickstarter page, or directly from the product website for a somewhat hefty sum of $309. While this might seem like a large amount, the price of the product after release will most likely be around $399. If you’re a potential buyer, now is the time to act!
