I myself type much faster than I write, so it's personal I guess.

One thing that I don't understand is why people start kickstarters for pens. I'm honestly curious here because I can't understand it: The market for pens is saturated, and 3000 people apparently back a pen kickstarter (for a non-remarkable pen) for an average of $98. Why?

I understand the value of having something special, but I fail to see what makes it more special than some expensive pen that you can get in shops.
