    Where does that weird Win- and Android only compatibility come from? Will have to pass :(

      Probably because their macro software doesn’t support other OSes. Bummer!

      Yeah, that’s unusual. I mean, gaming is their target audience, and nearly all PC gamers have a Windows PC, but still. I’m sure plenty of people who use Mac or Linux at work would love an NES-themed keyboard.

      I have an 8bitdo controller and arcade stick, and they’re fantastic. If this keyboard used QMK, it would be a must-have for me.

      Ah, no Linux? Damn.

      Edit: US only though, that’s means I can’t give it to the person that I know would else appreciate it.

      I’m sure it will work on anything, I bet that translates to “don’t ask for help on BeOS.”

      That probably has to do with the software. It’s a wireless keyboard, so it doesn’t support VIA and uses its own proprietary software instead, which probably won’t work in Linux or MacOS.
