I want this to exist (yuck, those Superman-blue buttons with the awful shallow throw, hello there, non-original control panel!), but I think there are probably 47 people in the world who care, and 43 of them are already in. ;D

And the "rewards" are just a purchase of the product itself. That's fine, but it just seems like they're using Kickstarter as a thinly-veiled pre-order/interest list.

I don't know if this is the forum in which Mike will be successful...

Funding unsuccessful.

Bummer.

Here's hoping that he goes ahead and does a run of these anyway.

Yeah real pity Chris, looks like he's going to go ahead regardless though.
