I’m using ch57x-keyboard-tool to configure it
Great! I've bought similar without the dials (I wish I didn't have to pay extra for the stupid LEDs) and was hoping there was something open sourcey to configure it with rather than their dodgy codebase for the same reasons you list!
It sounds beautiful! It'd be really nice if there were transparent rubber keypads available that could be put over phone screens. Then you could fashion an old phone as a keyboard with infinite layers. A simple flutter app to set up the shortcuts and make them configurable and badda boom!
Mechanical keyboards have a huge, fanatical following! /c/mechanical_keyboards - shame it's dead. I expected to see posts of why the IBM Model M is better than everything else!
I'm really happy that it works for you! Well done on doing the hard work to find it!
Wow. I updated the post above with some cheapo alternatives that have mechanical keys.
There's also MIDI controllers like: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007444327683.html maybe more listed under DJ / mixing controllers
Edit: The post asked about how I feel about the size. My opinion is that I wish it had 1 (ideally 2) more vertical sets of keys because that would allow me to use my thumb for button pressing too. But overall I’m happy and I think it’s my only real problem with it.
Check aliexpress. You're going to find things that excite you including a kb that's very similar
EDIT: I thought I'd go searching, some ideas:
Looks nice. How much did it cost?
Useful in winter I suppose!

So... cooking meth?
Other than it being your password, why?
