This is nothing new. You can buy these USB cable testers on Amazon or directly from Alibaba. They just put some fancy visualization on top so you don't have to look up what the individual LEDs on the tester mean.
As others have generally noted about Kickstarter, this is just another scam with cheap Chinese gadgets.
