I kinda want to hook one up to raspberry pi for some home control, but I’m not sure if the software to configure it works on Linux (or how it even presents itself HID-device wise)
I’m sure it’ll eventually be reverse engineered and have some custom drivers on github soon, but a quick google came up empty for this new device.
Edit: Oh I just realized this hasn’t been released yet, I saw the “buy now” button and assumed it was.
The main thing I have learned after switching to Linux full-time is that weird, proprietary hardware like this is almost never a good idea, for many reasons. It’s very easy to make labels for keys if you really want to, and if you need more functionality, having more buttons instead of layers is always going to be faster to learn and use. Especially if you are trying to use this as a home automation interface, it’s probably a better idea to have either a touch screen or a separate screen and keypad.
Sure, this thing looks nice, but in a couple years (at most) it will be e-waste.
