But we are definitely looking at offering something more polished and built in.

Oh, a whole bunch of things. So first of all, when you have the mechanical design, even if you have something you can 3D print, you need to completely redo it because designing for 3D printing and designing for injection molding is two totally different things. So you make the shell. And then of course, once you have a shell, you pay for the tooling. That's very expensive.

So you make the shell. And then of course, once you have a shell, you pay for the tooling. That's very expensive.

That's like, depending on the size of the mold, but it can get in the tens of thousands of dollars for a mold, things like that. Then you got the plastic done. And that's a bunch of iterations because you also iterate on things like the surface texture. How does it feel? And injection mold tooling is interesting because some things are irreversible. It's literally a physical mold.

It's literally a physical mold.

So if you decide to make a change, you can't put it back later. Like some changes, when you decide it's like, if it doesn't work, you need to scrap the mold and literally start over again. So it's a fairly intense process and that gets you the plastic at the end. That is if you just go ABS. For the Voyager shell, we had to do it even more complicated because like I said,

So it's a fairly intense process and that gets you the plastic at the end. That is if you just go ABS. For the Voyager shell, we had to do it even more complicated because like I said,

That shell is made of two materials and that's a whole other thing. Then you got the electronics. So for the electronics, when you make them at scale, when you're like a real manufacturer and not a hobbyist at home, you need to get the electronics certified. CE and FCC certification, which means that it's up to code. It can be legally imported. It's not gonna burn your house or your computer.

It's a real thing. And that certification is pretty grueling. Like they go and they literally zap your product. Like they shock it with an electrostatic, like they have a little thing, like a mini cattle prod thing that they stick in there. Like they find whatever gaps you have in your case, like they stick it in there and they zap your product and see what happens.

And make sure that it actually reboots, for example, and continues to work and things like that. So then you have certification. And then for us, of course, a huge part is going to be the software around it. It needs to be easy to configure. The keyboard would have to work well without it, and it would have to be easy to add it on and customize it in ways that make sense.

And then, of course, there is explaining. What the heck did you do? which is its own thing, right? Like there needs to be just the same looking webpage that clearly and truthfully and without hype explain what the thing is, which is a lot. It's one of the things I actually do last. I think some companies start there. I do it at the end because I like holding the thing when I write the copy.

The copy on the website is mine. I wrote the copy across both sites. So by holding a very late stage prototype, let's say, I can write without feeling that it's marketing BS. I can write and say, no, this is really the thing.

And then if you have access to a 3D printer, you could possibly print out a really simple wedge that just kind of lifts your trackpad a little bit and maybe angles it inwards just a bit. Yeah. Or rather, angles it towards the keyboard, I should say, which is really outwards. But it's towards your left hand. And it will be the right height. It will be leaning towards you ever so slightly.
