Dear backers, 
the time for a big update has come. After some days of silence we want to share with you a lot of news about the latest achievements and the next steps of the project. 

PRODUCTION AND DELIVERY 
First of all, you will be happy to know that we will ship the Ego! Smartmouse in June! The supply of the components is almost complete and the production of the first batch should start at the end of May. As you know, we successfully tested the manufacturing of the plastic parts. Then, during these weeks, we designed the test procedure for the final device validation, we made a prototypal packaging and we tested the material and the thickness of the touch label. During the next weeks, we will complete the product label, the instructions sheet, the warranty sheet and the device CE certification. 

EGO! SMARTMOUSE FIRMWARE
We worked hard to improve the device operation and, as we want to give you a best-in-class device, we’re still working on testing and bug fixing. Furthermore, we’re currently implementing the procedure for the firmware updating which will allow you to keep your Ego! Smartmouse always up-to-date. 

COMPUTER SIDE SOFTWARE
The main news is that we’re implementing a new graphical interface that allows you to access quickly the most popular websites without typing your passwords. This interface should work as a smart-hub that you can bring to the fore in every moment by double clicking on the touch surface of your Ego! Smartmouse. 

CLOUD STORAGE
Thanks to your support and the success on Kickstarter, Laura Sapiens received many partnership proposals. One of the most interesting opportunities is about the cloud storage and the possibility to provide more space and more interesting plans. Therefore, we’ve planned the required developments to give you these benefits. It will require a little more effort but we’re sure it’s worth it! 

SURVEY
Last but not least, you will receive a Kickstarter survey in order to collect the shipping addresses and the customization choices. Furthermore, we will also provide you information to start the collaboration with developers and vendors. 

If you want to stay up-to-date on the latest news, follow us on twitter, facebook and on our blog…. and have look to the acknowledgments page, you will get a big surprise http://bit.ly/1432jDc 

THANKS!

Dear Backers,

we are going on with the manufacturing test of the plastic parts. Yesterday we have successfully tested the molds of three internal parts and today we are very happy to show you an assembled Ego! Smartmouse.

We used a prototypal touch label and there are some other details (as the light diffusion of the central button) that must be improved, but we couldn’t wait to share this progress with you. We hope you appreciate it!

Have an awesome day,

Laura Sapiens team

Dear Backers,

today it’s a great day!

We have successfully tested the production of two main plastic parts of Ego! Smartmouse. It was just a first test but the result was higher than expected.

The top part looks really shining and elegant thanks to a meticulous polishing of the mold and a careful choice of the material, which was obtained by a blend of ABS and PC. On the other hand, in order to provide the user a good touch feeling in each handgrip, we gave the bottom a light matte finish which enhances the final look of Ego! Smartmouse.

We will test the other plastic parts soon and we would be able to introduce you a final Ego! Smartmouse within two weeks, before the Kickstarter campaign ends.

Are you curious? We made some pictures and one video just for you, hope you enjoy it!

Dear backers,

We get it!!! We still have 31 days left and we already reached the target of £20,000!

Thanks for all of your support, you’re amazing!!!

The final electronic boards have just arrived!! We assembled them inside a prototypal black case and we made some pictures to keep you updated with the project. You will see many improvements as the micro-USB or the touch surface.

Stay tuned for more exciting updates soon.

Have a great day!
