KiWear Ring: Control Every Device with a Gesture
Touchless cross-device control, 24/7 health tracking, and gesture gaming—all in one lightweight, waterproof smart ring.
Category: Fashion & Wearables
Funding Campaigns
The most ambitious in the ring category, aiming to be one control layer across every screen you own. Unusually honest about its limits, and priced well below where it plans to land at retail.

This is Kiwear's first Kickstarter project, though the team comes out of wearables and consumer electronics. Tooling is finished and small batch trial production is done, with mass production next and shipping promised within four to five months of the campaign close. A one year global warranty and a commitment to updates once or twice a month back that up.
Five grams on your index finger, no buttons to press, just the finger movements you already make. One gesture language connects to as many as nine devices, covering phones, computers, projectors, Apple TV, Google TV, smart glasses and compatible in car systems. 5ATM water resistance, a slim black finish, a charging case, and up to four rings on one device for motion gaming on the TV.
They tell you outright that gesture control only works on the index finger of your dominant hand, which is a limitation most brands would have hidden. The AI note confirms personal health data will not be used to train public generative models, and they state clearly this is a wellness device and not a medical one. Four separate sizing paths, including a printable true scale sizer and a 3D printable try on set, show real thought about fit before anything ships.
Super Early Bird pricing puts a single ring at $249 against a $399 MSRP, with the app and its features included rather than locked behind a subscription. Multi ring tiers scale down nicely, from $469 for two up to $1,999 for ten, which suits families and multiplayer gaming. Shipping is collected in a post campaign survey and the optional Sizing Kit runs $30 with shipping included, so budget for those.
