I've never done that myself, but I backed an SDR device called Flipper Zero on Kickstarter some time ago, and I found their updates on the project status very insightful.

- obrajesse 5y agoHi, I'm Jesse. I'm 1/2 of Keyboardio. We have, indeed, been through some stuff, but don't let that scare you off of hardware. We're currently in manufacturing for our third keyboard product. We're generally pretty happy to chat with first-time hardware founders. Feel free to drop me a note at jesse@keyboard.io.
