I wonder if it's fast enough to respond to modifier keys.

  That would be amazing for teaching vim! I've been using vim for a decade and I'm always learning new things about it. A modal keyboard would be incredibly instructive.

    my thinking :) I'm currently on my 2nd attempt to learn some vim :) It would need a good api, too if you want to react to chained keystrokes or application states/modes.

      It's worth it. Once you grok it, you'll be composing new movements + actions and before long you will be 'thinking in vim'. You also need a very small subset of stuff to begin being useful (actions, moments, modes). After that learn about macros/registers, buffers and windows and you're pretty much good to go.

  The video displayed previously had an older timing controller. Here's a video demo of the current TCM on a different display. It's 10Hz, so it will respond to modifier keys and partially update. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1tmjDDK7jY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1tmjDDK7jY

    looks good. What about an inverted look? Too much backlight bleeding through or looking OK at night? :) And did you invent new key mechanics to keep the key clear all the way to the bottom?
