You can remap the ~ key on the UHK to be Esc by default and ~ via the Mod layer if you want to. We plan to design further UHKs of different form factors. I don't get however why you don't consider the current model compact.

Split keyboards are primarily designed for touch typist who consistently hit keys with their fingers. Replicating middle keys would result in extra bulk.

Hardware level configuration is beneficial if you switch between computers, (especially which you don't have control over) on a regular basis.

Just enabled the cache, so hopefully you should be able to open the UHK site now.

Jamie wasn't looking for a 60% keyboard, yet he purchased the UHK which is a 60% keyboard. That directly resulted in his review. Imagine you want a sedan but buy a truck.

Because it's a tad easier to configure the UHK via Agent than QMK keyboards. http://ultimatehackingkeyboard.github.io/agent/

Instead of making blanket statements, please name these Android and OSX applications. I know from experience that scripts do not work out of the box. Often times their syntax is nontrivial. I also know quite few limitations of xmodmap/

"Storing the mapping on a large device doesn't make sense" - I agree about this, the large device being a bulky host computer. Various OSes have various (sometimes quite severe) limitations regarding remapping and the "s

The 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 ke

As the lead developer of the Ultimate Hacking Keyboard I can confirm that the Fn key can be reprogrammed just like any other key. You can make Backspace emit Ctrl, Enter emit Alt+Tab, or make the Right Shift play back a macro.
