24 Hours Left to Go!
The TouchFire Kickstarter project been an incredible ride, but it is now coming to a close. We are enormously grateful for all of your support!
The end of our Kickstarter project also marks the end of taking orders for our first production run. We will then start taking reservations for our next production run.
We would really appreciate it if you could spread the word about TouchFire one last time!
Press Roundup
TouchFire has been getting quite a bit of press coverage lately. Here are some highlights.
"The keyboard is incredibly simple to use. Typing on it is
like typing on a physical keyboard"
– New York Times
"Turns the iPad into a true laptop killer"
– Fast Company
" TouchFire
doesn’t set off a single key when you rest your fingertips on the product"
– Mashable
"The super-thin-and-lightweight TouchFire adds virtually
no physical bulk"
– CNET
TechCrunch asked Steve to write a 3 part series of articles on TouchFire and Kickstarter, “The TouchFire Chronicles”
What Happens Next
As soon as our Kickstarter project finishes, your credit card will be charged by Amazon and you will receive a confirmation email. If there was a problem charging your credit card you’ll get an email from Amazon and you’ll have a week to resolve the problem.
Kickstarter does not have access to the address information you entered with Amazon. So we will send out an email survey asking for your shipping information and a few other questions about a week after Kickstarter ends. We will also email the TouchFire stocking-stuffer coupons around that time.
Thank you for backing us!

Hi, Rick.
Thanks for your enthusiasm for TouchFire, we really appreciate it! We will be positing an update on schedule shortly.
Creator Rick Alfaro on December 12, 2011
I understand you will be beginning the first production run very soon. Any estimates as to when we can expect to actually have a keyboard in our hands? Love this project and I'm happy to help fund it in my own small way.
