The Ultimate Hacking Keyboard got funded, goes Open Source

I find UHK unique among ergonomic keyboards as it combines the few vital things that I find that I need of a keyboard:

1. Compact layout (so I can take it with me between my two offices and home).

2. Split (ergonomic) keyboard.

3. A touchpad (via a mini extension module).

An integrated touchpad is vital to me as I get serious pain for the slightest use of mouse.

I have so far had to resort to the Logitech K400. It has point 1 and 3 above, compact design and a touchpad but of course lacks the ergonomic split design. UHK finally adds the third vital component.

Just gotta save up some $$$ :P

UHK is a great keyboard because of "never leave home row" conception. And I can create a ton of application-specific layouts and take them just with keyboard - so natural!
