I get that. The fact that the hardware designs are going to be open is what tipped me over the edge into preordering one. The only real difference between the Devterm and what I had in mind was that these keycaps look to be smaller than typical Cherry mechanical switches, and I was hoping to include a DC-coupled audio interface somehow.
I figure if I don’t get on with the keyboard on the Devterm I can always make my own keyboard and case and keep the internals. And I’m hopeful that I can figure out an audio interface with their external module. Worst case scenario I still don’t start from scratch. Plus I love the ultrawide screen; It seems like a perfect size to look at waveforms on.
