And it's a position of trust. You know, like people were really trusting me to deliver on this thing. I was unknown. Who is this guy even? He doesn't say why they trust you. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, maybe I came across his trust within the video. Who knows? But it was actually funny. There was a whole thing around the crowdfunding because some people initially thought, It was a scam, actually.

Some people thought, oh, these people are just, who are they even? Because the keyboard world is very much a community. It's tight-knit. And I was not of that community. I'm not really a social media type of person. And I don't hang out on forums and stuff. It's not something I enjoy so much. So nobody knew who I was.

I'm not really a social media type of person. And I don't hang out on forums and stuff. It's not something I enjoy so much. So nobody knew who I was.

So in fact, some people at the very beginning thought, oh, these guys are scammers. They're trying to cheat people out of their money. They're never going to ship this. Who is this guy even? So we actually had to revet at some point with Indiegogo and tell them, no, no, here's Tebow Technology. This is the company that's going to make this. This is a real manufacturer in Taiwan, all lined up.

And they were like, OK, fine. And then, yes, we did ship. But it was definitely a leap of faith for the people who backed us. And we rose up to it. And I think, yeah, I was happy. And the people who got the keyboard were happy.

let alone have to learn how to assemble and build it to do the change you know what i mean like you're cutting out a lot of things in that process oh yeah no for sure having something that comes nice out of the box you just simply take it out of the box you plug it in and it works and something there's also the whole configuration aspect of it that really has to do with what is ergonomics, right?

So it always gets me when I see ergonomic keyboards that work one way. So I know it's probably ergonomic or comfortable for hopefully the person who designed it. I guess it works for them. But maybe my hands are a different size or maybe some of my fingers are more or less nimble than others. So there's the whole question of once you plug the keyboard in, can you customize it?

Can you adapt it so that it works for you? And before with these keyboards, well, and with some of these keywords to this day, you go to the source code. There is a beautiful piece of code called QMK, stands for quantum mechanical keyboard. And that's a spinoff of TMK, which is an even earlier mechanical keyboard firmware. But QMK is very, very powerful.

It lets you do many, many things with your keyboard. You can have layers. You can have one key that you can tap and hold or tap, tap, or like a whole bunch of, or like a combo where you mash six keys at the same time and you get something on your screen. All sorts of stuff.

tarmac thing or this colmac thing we were just we were talking to uh to a user in new york the other day and uh he was showing his keyboard and he got all blanks and he says yeah uh when i when i ordered from you it was all printed keycaps but that was too friendly to people who warned me so i swapped out the keycaps for blanks and now like nobody can use it yeah it's a feature only yeah there you go
