While surfing the web the other day I came across an interesting new product which is being funded on Indiegogo.com
The Product is the lofree wireless key board.
lofree is a typewriter inspired keyboard with a sleek and minimal design.
"Inspired by traditional typewriters, we engineered round keycaps to give lofree a classic, yet contemporary feel. It's a delight for both eyes and ears. "
Right now the campaign has raised $677,171 and is fully funded.
The lofree is on preorder right now through indiegogo and will hopefully start shipping soon.
The lofree will be available in multiple colors and features different backlit modes.

As a blogger and a lover of both minimal design and the nostalgia associated with using a typewriter, I am definitely going to keep my eye on this project!
I may even order one for myself!
