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).
