This looks beautiful. While obviously a Mac keyboard, to what extent is it compatible with Linux?
Will there be documentation of its features beyond a standard Bluetooth HID, such that users could potentially develop software that utilizes the speaker and haptic feedback mechanisms?

  It is fully compatible with Linux with respect to typing, volume control and so on.
  The firmware source code will be published publicly on Github in the future, as our other keyboard (Altar I) is: <a href="https://github.com/electronicmaterialsoffice/firmware-altar-i" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/electronicmaterialsoffice/firmware-altar-.... Anyone is welcome to play around with it.
