Flexbar: A Standalone Touch Bar Successor

The loyal fans of Apple's controversial Touch Bar have created a standalone successor called the Flexbar, which is being funded through a Kickstarter campaign. The creators believe that the discontinuation of the original Touch Bar didn't mean the concept was flawed but rather it wasn't taken far enough.

Features of the Flexbar

Compatible with Mac, Windows, and mobile devices
2K AMOLED display
USB-C connectivity
Non-slip silicone pads
Aluminum build plus an aluminum magnetic stand
Customizable tools to suit your needs

Pricing ranges from $119-149 depending on when you back, and the expected MSRP will be $179 when it formally launches. The campaign notes that as with all Kickstarter campaigns, potential backers should proceed with caution, especially considering hardware devices that involve software components like Flexbar have a mixed track record on the platform.
