Wouldn't hurt to have some positive PKB news around hereanon(5597702) and SES Mobile Accessories like this.08-18-20 03:12 PMLike 2 - OP states that one problem is low sales of Titan and Pro1 recently. Kind of hard to spin positive. Do you remember how many actual Typo PKB attachments were sold?08-18-20 03:33 PMLike 0
- There are plenty of keyboards in the market that you can run via Bluetooth.
You can also get stuck docking stations which allows both Wi-fi and Bluetooth connections for the keyboards to the docking station08-18-20 03:50 PMLike 0 - It's MUCH easier to convince a slabber to spend a few dozen bucks to try out a keyboard case than to convince them to spend several hundreds towards a dedicated PKB device from an unknown manufacturer.SES Mobile Accessories likes this.08-18-20 05:32 PMLike 1

As for Typo, couldn't find any specific numbers but now I think we would sell more due to our product being mostly universal and there being less keyboard phones nowadays

Still want to see HOW he accomplishes a one size fits all.... and if he can keep it closer to the $50 than the $70+.08-20-20 08:17 AMLike 0 - 08-20-20 08:53 AMLike 0
- I don't think SES Mobile Accessories has anything to worry about from Onward..... I suspect once the details are out from them, his $50 - $70 attachment onto an existing consumer phone will look really good.

- The first Vertical Slider prototype was finished Friday night. It's very ugly and not a good representation of what the final product will look like therefore I will not be releasing photos. I know this sounds like a tease but I promise it exists and I will show pictures once I am able to confirm with my manufacturer that this can be built.
- The Horizontal Slider is in its final stages of development and I hope to have the first prototype in the next week or so.
- We have a survey we would like you guys to fill out so we can gauge what our production numbers should look like and what products should deserve priority. Here's the link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...rm?usp=sf_link
The more people who respond, the better products we can make. Please give us your feedback!
As always we are open to suggestions/questions/concerns so let us know!

Go ahead and make one for yourself, but don't even try manufacture and market it. It will fail even if your bank agrees to lend you the money! BTW, what other products do you currently sell?
Besides, it's gonna have to be marketed beyond this one thread anyways, but we don't know how many units the OP is intending to sell.08-24-20 07:23 AMLike 0 -
But I think he has gotten a hint from how few these kickstarter phones have sold... F(x)Tec, Unihertz, Planet Computer.
If he can do a batch of 500 or each and keep the price around $50. He might come out ok, if it works.... good keyboard, quick response, sturdy and durable.
But accessory keyboards just don't usually meet the needs of PKB fans... Why it's so important that he get these right....08-24-20 07:44 AMLike 0 -

I completely understand not too many people will do this form. I'll take what I can get.

Or is it one case per smartphone model?
In the case of the latter which seems more easily doable since you're adapting your mold to one specific smartphone model, then a good place to start is the most popular ones such as the Galaxy S20/+, Pixel 4a, etc08-24-20 09:03 AMLike 0 - The key will be what your kick-starter goal is.... then seeing if you get enough supporters to reach that goal. One great thing about kick-starters is if there isn't enough interest, your only out the initial developmental cost. Not a whole order of 5,000 units.08-24-20 09:22 AMLike 0
