The goal: the most hackable mechanical keyboard. The result: trolling the pants off /r/mk – Zack Freedman.
The project is a low-profile mechanical keyboard, with three clickable displays, CircuitPython firmware, and a fully custom PCB that snaps into an ergonomic split board or a standalone number pad.
The video is full of bullshit and factual errors contains some statements I can't identify with, but the project itself is interesting and open-source:
