Disappointing that nobody seems to care. Imho one of the most amazing things in keyboard history.... :D

Don't really need it, and can't justify buying it. But I think it is cool. I've seen at least one project use it for prototyping a device.

If I was looking to buy, I would ask for myself, but I would have to ask for others:
• How many key modules are included?
• Can I use it directly under Linux, or would I need to get something like a virtual Windows XP machine going with passthrough for the serial port?
• And ... how much would you want for it?

I can easily answer the first: It comes with 2x 19 buttons (Edit: corrected).
For the second I kind of have to guess because I haven't tried this in forever but there seem to be drivers available:
for Linux and Mac: http://ergodex.hydraservices.com/wiki/downloads
for Windows: https://polygonalhell.blogspot.com/2009 ... ivers.html
but I don't know how good they are.

I don't know what to charge for it either. I cannot find a single sale on ebay anymore.

Chyros reviewed one of these a while back.
