Absolute ridiculous! Who wants to look at the keyboard?
The text is full of bullshit. "...millions of tabs..."
For millions of tabs I need millions of rgb customizing colors of my brighter than ever rgb glowing junkboard. Omg

But it is always funny that a company uses kickstarter to finance such junk.

Wow. They managed to make an even uglier board than Das 4. Amazing. That is quite an achievement.

Well shit, if you want "Cloud connected open API" that isn't 100% bullshit? Steelseries Apex 500 and Engine 3. Engine 3 has GameSense (open API and SDK) for controlling just about anything in Engine 3, and all your profiles are backed up to somebody else's computer - I mean saved in the cloud.

Sad but that's the thing with Kickstarter. Myself, I will not back any hardware/physical projects.

The discussed open-source software is DieFarbe.
It seems they got a storm after that so they did sort of "retract". The problems addressed by the community are still there and no proper apologies were made.
