@Lagomorph – Q: Will someone make these work with the ErgoDox? A: On it, no timeline yet though!
@twodayslate – Q: Does this work on OSX? A: Will uses it with his OSX computer every day and it works fine.
@billdias – Q: Do IBM TrackPoint tips work with this keyboard? A: They are compatible, I grabbed one off a new ThinkPad to test this.
@Shemp – Q: Is this an IBM TrackPoint? A: This trackpoint comes from TEX Electronics.
@hj-s Q: Can I change Function layers? A: There are a bunch of programming functions, here is the manual to see what they are https://docs.google.com/a/massdrop.com/file/d/0B7TuRf3KQe7GdjJwNXMwdHZIUm8/edit
@whoabackoff – Q: Can you buy this without keycaps? A: No.
@marco.A2.oliveira – Q: Do the supplied keycaps let LED light through? A: Not really, you can only see it underneath however.
@Infernosaint – Q: Will there be an ISO version? A: Not on this drop, possibly in the future. The PCB is ISO compatible, you would need to supply your own plate.
@jshu – Q: Is this NKRO and do I need 2 USB cables? A: It does have NKRO, and you do not need 2 USB cables. You use 1 mini USB cable to connect this to your computer, and it doesn't take up either of your USB ports on the hub.
@braint Q: Can I substitute Cherry stabilizers for the included Costar stabilizers? A: You’re welcome to try, only Costar stabilizers will be included in this drop. Edit: Justin at TEX says you can't use Cherry Stabilizers.
@Keyreaper – Q: Will LED’s work with this keyboard? A: Yes, there are holes for LED’s to be placed, you would have to find suitable LED’s and do this yourself.

Thanks for the response! Is it something being pursued by one or two hacker hobbyists, or an "official" feature of a new Ergodox board/build spec? I realize that's kind of a murky distinction...
Sorry if this is getting a bit off-track from the Yoda conversation. I still haven't completely ruled out purchasing one, if that makes you feel any better. : ) Thanks Andrew!

AndrewLekashman> In addition to that bit of cleverness with the multi region PCB layout, there are holes for the truly motivated to add LEDs to every switch.
If installed all leds how to control them? What buttons used for on/off leds?
LagomorphThe hobbyists are very serious keyboard enthusiasts. And there's more like 4 or 5 of them!

AndrewLekashmanIf those hobbyists are reading this: Thank you! Continue on your path to keyboard utopia (and let me know how I can follow you).
In Trackpoint we trust. Home Row.
