Ultimate Hacking Keyboard. More specifically, currently the UHK 80 with the key cluster module (on the left half) and trackpoint module (on the right half).

Yes, the UHK 80 uses BLE security level 4.

Gotta outsmart the algorithm by introducing some jiggle like at https://forum.ultimatehackingkeyboard.com/t/mouse-jiggler-ma... The forum folks may be able to provide a solution.

Hi there, The next UHK firmware and Agent release will enable you to tweak module speed and acceleration settings, which should make your trackpoint module significantly more useful. We haven't received bad feedback about the build qua

Hi there, thanks for your huge support, and sorry to hear about the issues! Issue 1 has been fixed quite a while ago. We provide spare rubber feet if you need some. I'm unsure if we faced with issue 2 because your description doesn

QMK tries to be everything for everyone. I'm sure we could make it work, but the UHK firmware is designed in very specific ways dictated by our objectives. This includes everything, such as the binary configuration serialization format

You're vastly oversimplifying product design. It's not just about I2C. No other split keyboards allow for the attachment of extra modules in the middle. You hardly ever used the UHK, yet you keep suggesting that we should use exte

The modules are a game changer of actual usability value which haven't been implemented by any keyboards yet. Ignoring their value and calling them doodads is unfair. None of the open source firmwares support the modular architecture o

The UHK firmware is open source. I should also mention that the configurator of the UHK is more advanced and polished than any alternatives. JWZs review is completely unjust as he hates 60% keyboards. Read my comment in his post.

We have never stated this. Please stop spreading misinformation about us. We've made it crystal clear in our most recent blog post that "we expect to deliver every non-module UHK webshop pre-order in January to February". See

Just for the record, we haven't added any functionality after the campaign ended that caused extra delay. It was just incredibly time-consuming to start manufacturing.

Wish we could make both-sided modules of every kind, but high demand is questionable, and the tooling prices are high. Possibly later.

Then show me a QMK GUI configurator that is as intuitive and powerful as Agent.

You can just return your UHK in 30 days if you don't like it. You'd have to pay for shipping, but it's not a major expense. See https://ultimatehackingkeyboard.com/shipping-and-warranty

Because it's easier to get used to. We plan to build a columnar UHK eventually.

There are a couple of complications regarding a wireless truly split keyboard. As you correctly assumed, the wireless communication between the halves and having separate batteries would complicate things very much and make the design more

Thanks for the nice words! Our backers have been super nice about the announced delays, and cherished that we insist to quality so much. We're so glad to finally ship!

The UHK is a 60% keyboard which only features the alphanumeric block. The idea is that the hands shouldn't move, only the fingers should move. This design results in heavier chording, so it's a deliberate compromise with which som

There are hardly plenty of truly split 60% keyboards on the market, especially if you add to the requirements tenting, negative tilting, or having a configurator as powerful and polished as Agent.

There's quite a difference between the configurator of the ErgoDox EZ and Agent. Agent is a tad more polished, allows multiple keymaps, editing macros, directly saves configuration to the keyboard, restores configuration based on keybo
