Yes, we've gotten a ton of good feedback that people are willing to pay for a premium version. If we hit the 2.5M stretch goal, backlit will be a possibility :). We like it, but we also did a survey of our backers that said ~50% would pay for it.
- franciscop 10y agoBy premium you mean backlight, right? 13" is not an option so far?
- ajiang 10y agoWe're definitely considering 13" for our next version. But we want to deliver this version out first. 13" would require us to design a new shell and also source a few more components, including new packaging. Gets a lot tricker.
- insulanus 10y agoHi Andrew, Congratulations to you and your team for making this real! I'd like to add one more "no" vote for backlight keyboard. It requires a board layout change, and carries higher risk of production delays. I think the most important thing is to get this one out of the pipe, and get to the next version of the product, like Pebble did. Here's hoping that the 1080p screen doesn't require physical or electronics changes. Can't wait to use your device!
