For anyone wondering, this is the keyboard in the image at the top of the article: https://nuphy.com/collections/he-keyboards/products/nuphy-fi...

I was intrigued by the design so I wanted to share.

Interesting, their configuration tool runs in browser and they explicitly mention linux; I don't have much experience with gaming keyboards but the only one I bought in the past had some windows-only configuration software and was a bit of a pain.

Configuration stored _on the device_ and not needing the software to autorun every time you reboot to get your settings back, should really be a no-brainer. There's unfortunately enough gaming keyboards and mice out there who haven't got this yet.

I'd love to see some standard HID feedback channel for interactive keyboard LED control. My previous Logitech keyboard had some fun interactions with Factorio that I miss. Things like flashing a specific letter or using the backlighting to show a progress bar.
