I like mechanical keyboard. The past few months, I build a GH60[1] open source mechanical keyboard. And the ErgoDox[2] also an amazing open source ergo mechanical keyboard.

Now, I plan create my own keyboard, some features i want: 1. Bluetooth supported (BLE) 2. Integrating Gestures Sensor. It supports left, right, up, down, wave, etc. It means I can control my app without mouse. 3. Ergo, same as ErgoDox 4. The main board which consists of BLE IC, power management etc is separate from the Keyboard PCB.

Any advice?

It's time to open Shenzhen branch. :)

There are huge gap between Hobby and Productization

Cool.

I also building my own GH60 keyboard.

It diffrent from 1Sheeld, LinkIt includes GPS/GPRS and runs an RTOS. So, you can make it work outside.

Hardware startup never like software startup, because hardware product built by the whole ecosystem, such as supplier, manufacturer, etc. And software is built by your laptop. :)
