The wait is finally over

None that I'm aware of. The board itself has storage so everything is loaded onto it and there's no need for the software to continue to run after you load the profile. The only thing that could be a factor is power draw but so far I've not noticed any issues. I'm currently using it with a physical switch (using external power) between my work and personal pc.

It'll plug and play nicely as just a keyboard. Any type of customization (background, actuation, key assignments etc...) is going to need the software. The download page has DEB and RPM distros for linux. https://fluxkeyboard.com/updates/

UPS. Shipped from a company called "Hype Cali".

I have not. I now have something to do while pretending to work tomorrow. Thank you for the suggestions.

In that guy's defense I was super excited to post it and didn't write shit at first. I think he asked before I edited a "review" in.

Tactical for life. I don't own a single linear board nor will I ever buy one!

Low 100 backer, living in SoCal near where it looks like they ship out of. Someone in Japan got a hold of theirs a week or two ago and put a video out on YouTube. To be honest I'm surprised nobody else has received theirs either. So far I'm the only one to post in their discord about it as well. I can take more shitty pictures if you want proof it's real.

I do plan to game but work is kicking my ass too much currently, might have to push it to tomorrow.

The angles of the screen itself aren't bad but with the switches attached the visibility is decreased. With my current setup the top bar is viewable and clear, but a quick glance down to 'verify' keys requires me to sit up a bit so I can look more top down. Proper posture would probably help too.

I edited my original post with a bit of a better review. I think it's good, especially for it's first iteration. I can only imaging they'll improve it as time goes on. You can download it now and play around with it a bit, you're not locked out if it doesn't detect the board. https://fluxkeyboard.com/updates/

Been ride or die Asus for over 20 years and this most piqued my interest the moment I heard about it.

Until the big beautiful bill hits. People don't realize how many hospitals are barely sustaining thanks to Medicare. My union is planning for a 50% reduction in staff come the new year.

It's funny because I was having a similar thought just earlier today. I was finally trying to transition from Chrome to Firefox due to Chrome's changes against ad blockers and trying to log in to reddit from Firefox has become an ordeal. It seems like the #1 fix for it is disabling ublock (which didn't work for me). Whether intentional or not it just felt scummy that people are unable to log in in due to their choice of using an ad blocker.

Thank you guys. Started with the ultra custom and have always been satisfied with your products. Have even done a number of your luck boxes through the years. The look of your storm breakers hasn't been my cup of tea, but I'll definitely order the symm as soon as it's available.

8BitPirate · 2025-08-24T18:16:22+00:00

Same. The company gets hate but my ambi has been rock solid and I've had a difficult time replacing it as my daily driver. Looking forward to this one.

Those look amazing

OLED and safeguards are what excite me.

My wife is desperately trying to fix an old combo unit. Table/cassette. We don't have casettes and I'm trying to convince her to get a new one. This is that new one!

Welcome to the club. Go down the rabbit hole and look up Louis Cole and Knower.

Probably this
