This looks lovely. I've long been looking for a hackable device in this form factor, albeit more with the intent of running Linux.

One thing I can't find any detail on is the keyboard. Making a keyboard from scratch is well outside of usual low-volume productions and there aren't any readily available parts in this form factor as far as I know. How is the Precursor's one made/sourced?

I'll be writing an article on this in the future, and you're right, the keyboard was a serious pain to build. It's one of the big reasons it took two years to bring the product to this state.

    Thanks, I'm excited already!

    I'm using a Blackberry keyboard for my project, but that's obviously not scalable.
