FU!Keyboard
ILWrites' gigantic ortholinear FU!Keyboard is now open-source.

Would you like to contribute to this year's MK Advent Calendar? Here are the guidelines for authors, along with last year's edition for reference.
182 keys… But why?!
Anyway, the FU!Keyboard (which stands for Functionally Ultimate Keyboard, also abbreviated as FUK) is a hotswappable 26x7 ortholinear behemoth of a keyboard with OLED display, 4 independent rotary encoders and addressable RGB per-key illumination.
FUK sports the memory-rich Atmel AT90USB1286 MCU for the native QMK and VIA(L) support (and with that many keys you are gonna need a whole lotta memory for a whole lotta macros, extra keystrokes and all sorts of stuff).
