I love this post:

"When we first approached hardware manufacturers almost two years ago with this project most of them instantly said “No, sorry, impossible, we can not help you.”. Others warned us, that it could never work, that it was too complicated, “the industry does not do that” and so forth.

And yet here we are, later than we wanted, but we are actually shipping first hardware! It is possible but it comes at a price."

@mntmn Will the completed keyboard layout include a "fn" key to enable alternate functionality on the F keys (e.g., volume up, volume down, mute, screen brightness up/ screen brightness down, etc.)?

@mntmn I'm guessing the flying gray ribbon cable is to connect the speakers, but what is the flying red cable for? Also, will there be any further modifications to the motherboard so that those connectors can be closer to where they are needed?
