Nice project. $249 seems a bit high, but I guess it's like the Fairphone, they can't save as much as the large manufacturers do.

Holy f*** $250? Wow well it is not for me then :(

I'm genuinely curious if someone's published a BoM cost breakdown, I'm wondering if there's a couple of super high tickets items in the like the scroll wheel and custom PCB cost.

It's a project by an Australian team, so one would assume two things:

  1. It's in Australian Dollars.
  2. Australia has experienced severe hyperinflation overnight (or earlier today, for many of us reading this)

Can I get some sauce for #2? News says nothing of it

It was a joke.

I think it has something to do with Taylor Swift

It all has to do with Taytay Swizzle. WAKE UP SHEEPLE! She will be crowned Empress of the World by chief Illuminatus Warren Buffet and the antiChrist Catholic puppet Joe Biden during the Super Bowl halftime show! Only Trump and Dildoboy Nugent can save us!!! /s

What hyper inflation? I think you need to check your sources mate.

It’s a neat project. Costs as much as an iPod :P
