I really like the concept. I bought 4 of them a while ago (maybe a couple of years?) mostly to support them. I used one onlykey as my daily driver, I tried to integrate it with pass (my password manager at that time) without much luck. The software itself was very rough, the key was not meant to be used in your keychain: clear signs of usage after about a month, the usb port started to "fade", it was hard to use the touch buttons, it factory resetted at some point (out of nowhere). Overall: I'm going to keep an eye, try them again in the future, but I fee the product needs one or two more iterations before I can depend on them as my daily security driver. Oh, and LED lights stopped working after a few weeks. one huge disadvantage (which is the same for yubikey) is that I use programmers dvorak as my keyboard layout: had to change it every time to English to input the passwords/token.

There's currently an issue (and an open PR) in to add dvorak support, though, I'm not sure if/when it'll be merged. https://github.com/trustcrypto/OnlyKey-Firmware/issues/85 https://github.com/trustcrypto/OnlyKey-Firmware/issues/85

  There are many, many keyboard layouts out there. Maybe it's time for an input standard that acknowledges this fact, instead of endlessly putting the onus on OS developers and users. Maybe keyboards should output UTF8 instead of messy keycodes.

    This would require new hardware. If one is already going to be purchasing new hardware, one may as well get a QMK keyboard. This way you can program it with any keyboard layout you would like, and it will work on any computer without having to change the system defaults. Clearly this doesn't help with built-in keyboards such as found on laptops; the clear workaround for this specific product is to allow it to import keyboard layouts in the various OS-specific forms they exist in.

      Sadly it doesn't seem to work that way. BE/AZERTY keyboards, for instance, have a physical key that US/QWERTY keyboards do not (<>\). The OS will ignore that key unless it's set up to use a layout that includes the key. There is no way to program a QMK keyboard to fix that (unless you change the OS to run the BE layout), because QMK does not map keypresses to characters. It maps keypresses to keycodes, which depend on OS keyboard layouts, specifically US/QWERTY and sometes DVORAK. At least that's how I see it.

Sorry to hear that you had issues with the LED. We did receive reports of some user's having issue with LEDs on some computers years back. With the latest OnlyKey hardware there have been no issues reported, you can check out the reviews on Amazon as if there is any issue at all there will usually be negative reviews on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/OnlyKey-Stealth-Black-Case-Communication/dp/B06Y1CSRZX https://www.amazon.com/OnlyKey-Stealth-Black-Case-Communicat...
