Just to be clear, here - system76 launched a keyboard using previously existing, widely used open source keyboard firmware.
- shirro 6y agoThey also sell computers with open firmware running open source operating systems. I sense a connection.
- uberduper 6y agoImagine the criticism they'd have faced if they'd used anything other than QMK. Their use and presumed future support is a good thing.
- meepmorp 6y agoAbsolutely, there's no reason to write your own when QMK gives you so much.
- mypalmike 6y agoQMK is great. But it definitely lacks in some useful abstractions. For instance, lots of split keyboards use IO expanders over I2C, and each one has bespoke code for doing the grid scan.
- rualca 6y ago> Imagine the criticism they'd have faced if they'd used anything other than QMK. You're making it sound like reinventing the wheel to come up with a higher cost and lower quality offering is something to be proud about.
- CyberDildonics 6y agoThey were criticizing the title for not being clear, not System76.
- cestith 6y agoI'd also be fine with Kaleidoscope.
