ANND the LIX pen arrives !

[LambdaFF]

Yep, LIX has finally started a few deliveries. Out of the 500 "stated as available", it seems a fraction were sent to US backers.

This is such a success that a week after the 1st delivery they have published an update requesting feedback on their support email.

After a few days of mixed reviews, a backer summed it up quite well : "An amazing 58% failure rate ending the "there was a problem, but we fixed it" fairytale."

For a 800000£ project over a year late : good job LIX. Let's see if the follow-up wil solve this and make it worth the backers' while ... -or anyone's really-.

Did you back them? i.e are you waiting for a LIX pen or has it arrived?

[LambdaFF]

Not received yet, no. I'm hoping that not receiving it opens somehow the chance that perhaps they'll solve the problems in the new batch and so remove this 50% failure chance in the one I may eventually receive.

In other words : I've mourned, I don't expect much from them. This was also an eye opener on KS policies for me.

Ahh good idea. Let's hope you're in luck and you get a better quality pen!

AAANNNDD no it doesn't arrive anymore.

The 50 or so they seem to have delivered to backers and reviewers were a failure with an extremely low functioning rate.

Now 1 month without answers it's quite obvious they are bust.

However their website is still up so if you ever are tempted to go for their product ... don't.
