The SixKeyBoard keyboard can be seen (and bought for 45$) at:

Though originally intended for static hotkeys I think it will make a great GKOS keyboard :)
I have purchased one and with 3 x R4 and 3 x R1 key caps it rests fine in my hand,
allowing for all key combinations to be presses one-handed.
But I will request your help:
Does any of you have existing software that can either work with a small modification or out of the box?
or just prior knowledge of Atmel Flip (I have never used it before)
Any help and existing source code will be welcomed
I have urged for a GKOS for a decade now, searched for a place to buy one so many times, failing each year.
Then I saw this video featuring the SixKeyBoard: (low-karma users are not allowed to publish links on this site)
I bought one (+12 key caps and an extra PCB)
It has arrived.
Now I hope we can make it into a GKOS keyboard together.
I got the following instructions from techkeys:
To re-flash the controller.
1) Unscrew the PCB from the case
2) Plug the device into the PC
3) Short the two pads pictured here with a wire or paperclip - this will reset the device to enable flashing new firmware

4) Install and open Atmel Flip (low-karma users are not allowed to publish links on this site)
5) Under the Device menu choose Select and choose ATmega16U2 for the controller
6) Under Setting —> Communication menu select USB and open the device
7) Under File —> Load Hex File (Compiled Code)
8) Select Run
9) Unplug and re-plug the device from the PC
