Update:
The keyboard boasts itself as a the ultimate hacking keyboard, yet the only "hackable" thing that can be done with it is configuring keys and macros, which can already be done for free on any OS and with any standard keyboard. The keyboard doesn't deserve its name in my opinion. It also costs 220$ (200$ as an early bird) .
Rhetorical question: Who will benefit the most from this project?
- mondalaci 11y agoThe UHK is hackable from a number of standpoints. You will not only be able to configure it with our cross-platform, open source configurator application, but * modify the firmware at the source level * repair it more easily than regular keyboards given its repair friendly design: https://ultimatehackingkeyboard.com/blog/2015/06/17/ifixit-gets-behind-our-repair-friendly-design https://ultimatehackingkeyboard.com/blog/2015/06/17/ifixit-g... * mount it onto external objects like an armchair: https://ultimatehackingkeyboard.com/blog/2015/04/20/introducing-the-first-mountable-keyboard https://ultimatehackingkeyboard.com/blog/2015/04/20/introduc... * We'll open source the electornics, making not only the firmware and host side configurator application hackable but the electronics design, too * We have yet another one-of-a-kind stretch goal to be announced that will massively add to the above points
