Product Description
While two is often better than one, it’s tough to use two mechanical keyboards at once—unless you’ve got a killer split-layout keyboard like the Standard Keys TWS. This fixed-position typer’s dream takes a standard compact board and splits it in half, giving you two separate boards: one for each hand Read More

Looking up their Kickstarter they indicate they have custom software built for remapping actions.

The wireless technology isn't Bluetooth, and the software for configuring isn't QMK or other open/mainstream product. I'm wondering if there's a plan for a Bluetooth version, and why it doesn't use QMK.

It might have been difficult to use QMK for wireless built as it doesn't support it natively afaik. But they certainly could have used ZMK, which is running great on similar boards with nrf5 chips. Too bad that almost every keyboard manufacturer tries to reinvent the wheels instead of contributing to open-source projects.

dreamingscorpioThere's big money in forcing dependency. Just ask Microsoft. They know empowering open source projects means empowering their enemies.

object88That's a hot take. I'm not sure if the WINE/Proton folks would agree with you. Many, many of the updates .Net and D3D got were solely and specifically to shut down WINE and that hasn't changed with D3D12. It's just more of the same.
Besides, it's super easy to make "open source contributions" when you've already bought the largest repository of open source software on the internet: github. If you think anybody at Microsoft is actually writing the code themselves then you're going to be startled and amazed when you see their new AI, using that massive repository to pump out tons of code. I can guarantee any code they're contributing is simply the early test batches they got from that code factory they're building. They don't want to evaluate the code themselves, so they just throw it out there and watch to see what changes the community makes.
Like a baker tossing out 3 day old test bagels into the street, Microsoft is contributing to open source projects.

Native bluetooth would be nice but as far as QMK goes, i actually understand why they wouldn’t use it. I like qmk and most of my keyboards use it, but the reality is its a technical barrier for people new to custom keyboards. It seems like they’re trying to make a polished and refined user-friendly product here that is truly turn-key and IMO having a gui is the best solution for keymapping. VIAL is still relatively new and shipping with Vial enabled firmware is not bulletproof ATM, plus the background qmk setup you need for vial is more hassle for customers.

If it were using bluetooth, QMK doesn't have support for bluetooth for split boards. Many split boards uses nice!nano firmware if they want to support fully wireless(bluetooth) between computer and 2 boards. And that means they have to use ZMK as QMK doesn't support it. I'm not sure what this keyboard uses but I would guess still bluetooth between 2 boards so QMK still can't be used.

Since the connection isn't bluetooth is it possible to connect it to something like an Ipad?

Where does one get the software? The info sheet says skkeys.com/drivers but that just goes to wix.com....
