If there’s one thing that’s come out of this year-long worldwide pandemic (aside from everyone learning how to properly wash their hands), I’d say it’s an awareness of bacteria and germs in our environments, and how we should be doing our best to limit exposure. Fold in that our phones are usually much dirtier than a toilet seat, being able to sanitize them (and other things) makes a lot of sense. That’s where the Coral UV Studio comes in.

Now Funding: Rocketbook Axis
While many folks prefer to just type out their notes, I’m all about writing things down by hand (and studies back me up). It used to be in a standard notebook that I’d then snap pictures of and upload into Evernote, but now I’m all about doing it digitally first via a tablet and stylus. If you’re looking for a less investment-heavy option, but want the ease of getting your notes digitally, the just-launched Rocketbook Axis is something worth checking out.

Now Funding: the Keychron K12
We like mechanical keyboards here at Knapsack. While I didn’t get it at first, once I started using one, I came around. I mean, it just feels like you’re GETTING THINGS DONE (TM) when you use a mechanical keyboard. I’m sure gamers have their reasons, but for me, doing database code and writing emails, it just is a satisfactory experience, in terms of feel and sound. Well, crowd favorite Keychron is back with their latest, the Keychron K12.

Now Funding: So, You’ve Been Eaten
Of the many things that have taken off with crowdfunding, I think board games is one area that has really bloomed. There have been a tremendous number of innovative and interesting games that large publishers just might not take a chance on. One of the latest to catch my eye is So, You’ve Been Eaten by LudiCreations.

Now Funding: Claw 2.0
Amongst the many types of “gadgets” that we like, the ones that fall into the category of “Every Day Carry”, or EDC, can be among some of the most interesting. They tend to be simpler mechanical items (think of a pocket knife), not full of gee-whiz circuits, but plenty of clever design all the same. One of the latest to hit is the Claw 2.0.

Now Funding: Microblade Pill Ti
Do you recall when we first brought you word of the Microblade Pill, back in 2019? If not, it’s right here. When I came across it, I thought it was a clever little gadget, handy for always having a box opener handy when you can’t (or don’t want to) carry a pocket knife. I liked it so much I backed the original, but now they’re back with a rather delicious upgrade.

Now Funding: Visual Measuring Spoons
Now, I know what you’re thinking – why in the world do we need a crowdfunding campaign for measuring spoons, of all things? Well, the clever folks over at Welcome Industries has a great idea, and that’s why the campaign for Visual Measuring Spoons exists.

Now Funding: Monument 2 Photo Storage
There’s no arguing that the ubiquity of digital cameras – and now rather quite-good cameras on our phones – that we are quickly getting overrun by our digital photos. If you stay on top of organizing things (say, after a trip or event) you’re good. But if you just click away and take a look every now and again, it’ll be hard to find what you want. That’s what the Monument 2 is looking to solve.

Now Funding: Cap-Extractor
I know – we’ve been on a bit of a tear this week with covering interesting crowd-funding campaigns. While the ones earlier in the week are ones I’d certainly support, today’s is one that’s, well, a bit of a head-scratcher. Meet Cap-Extractor.

Now Funding and in review: The GIGA Pump 2
Today, we’ve got an interesting little gadget that you may think is more of a gimmick than anything – but my experience has shown that the GIGA Pump 2 is actually a pretty useful little pump.
