thanks. Would love you as a backer. Please let me know which tools you want this to work with and we'll implement it. powermate: Yes, we have used it. We like it. It was too limiting for what we needed and we wanted it to be more portable and other materials. Weight: roughly 300 grams. That's one of the reasons we used metal, to make it heavier. We're also using a slip-resistant material on the bottom so it won't slip around. * Battery: We have worked built prototypes with both batteries, AAA and coin cells. This is one thing we're focusing on right now. We will definitely post an update on the campaign asap. Your thoughts from the user side would also be appreciated. * Software: The first and easiest form is using keyboard shortcuts and mapping it to an application. The second form is through scripts like Apple scripts.

I have a BC-700 charger and a bunch of low self discharge AAs and AAAs that I use in practically everything (game controllers, wireless mouse, TV/roku remotes, headlamp, and things I'm probably forgetting), so put me in as a vote for AAA. For the slip resistant material, I don't know if it exists, but something that isn't a dust magnet would be great. I've noticed with my SpaceNavigator that the ring of rubber on the bottom tends to accumulate dust and start slipping until I wipe it down periodically. Again a bigger deal for them, since their 6-axis devices include pushing sideways as an input. As far as software support, Mischief does 1px increments with [], so that one's easy. And open source programs like GIMP and Blender could always be modified if needed. So I guess I'm not too worried about software. This is a kind of niche thought, but I wonder if I could suction cup it to the back of a Surface Pro. I tend to sketch with the tablet in my lap and no good place to set a Flow. Chairs with no tables, flopped on couches, etc. Went ahead and backed it! The $20 worldwide shipping is a bummer, but I'm glad it's been priced into it. IIRC that's one of the big problems that Apollo Pens ran into.

  Thanks you for the thorough response. Really valuable and thanks for backing us. I would love to stay in contact and talk more in detail about the suction cup, software etc. Please feel free to send me an email: hi@senic.com and we can take it from there.
