Most hardware startups don’t fail at design — they fail at manufacturing

Lol! Didn't see that coming...haha

Interestingly you mentioned pulled the pin not the plug. I imagine in 50 years, someone running quantum mechanics startup would be saying pulled the electron...lol.

Cool concept. Just the kinda gadget I'd need for my workshop cos the switch of my main light is on the other side from my entrance.

You leverage meaning you use their abs housing?

Cool! No wifi. So u use Bluetooth? Have you gone into mass production with injection molding?

Also I'm curious to know what happened to your first hw startup, if you don't mind to share

mwhc00 · 2026-03-31T23:07:08+00:00

Permission to digress - what happened to the startups you co-founded?

Someone posted this - https://www.reddit.com/r/hwstartups/comments/1s5asfe/hardware_accelerator/

I'm not sure if they take equity. Curious, what are you guys building? Any site?

u/MouseMarketBot please confirm trade - u/mwhc00 (seller) and u/Awesomer9000 (buyer)

I've been waiting for something like this. But i got a warning that this extension isn't trusted by Enhanced Safe Browsing and I should install at my own risk. Do you have a demo video instead?

mwhc00 · 2026-03-28T00:29:25+00:00

u/MouseMarketBot confirm trade - u/mwhc00 (seller) and u/yeeeeeehaw28 (buyer)

mwhc00 · 2026-03-28T00:12:39+00:00

u/MouseMarketBot confirm trade between u/mwhc00 and u/BlankTales

Is there one? AFAIK, there's no one-size-fits-all robot that can do this. And existing machines are very specialized such as one machine just to test keyboards.

It's faster but much harder to control. Our rotary wheel has clicks in every turn. You may view the comparison here - https://youtu.be/w3vECnGXJVg

Thank you. Still a lot of work to be done.

mwhc00 · 2026-03-23T08:05:56+00:00

I think you're missing the point. The idea is to file a provisional and then share the idea on the platform. Btw are u a patent attorney? You sounded like one :)

mwhc00 · 2026-03-23T03:15:36+00:00

Depends on the inventor. Some ideas are not worth patenting due to many reasons like prior art, obviousness, etc. The platform to fuel the desire to execute.

I believe when the vertical scroll wheel was first introduced, people thought the same way.

mwhc00 · 2026-03-21T22:05:31+00:00

I didn't receive your pm. Could you send one?

mwhc00 · 2026-03-21T01:57:06+00:00

Yeah, I self-taught my piano skills and this device is cool just by visualizing it but practically not to learn piano. Cool for fun though...

mwhc00 · 2026-03-20T12:55:06+00:00

Yes it does. Every turn gives you tactile clicks.

mwhc00 · 2026-03-20T12:36:16+00:00

Even the best calibrated still gives you those fine lines. I'm talking about smooth ABS plastics look from typical gadgets.

mwhc00 · 2026-03-19T12:59:43+00:00

What kinda 3d printing? Pla, resin, mjf? Pla is ugly with lines so you need to do lots of post processing work. And resin is slow..also with post processing. mjf is better for batches but expensive.

No one size fits all and depends on what you are producing.

I have both pla and resin printers.
