Notes
This is an engineering sample (serial #2021001) given to me by Unicomp for critical testing. This keyboard was featured in an article about my time with it and what issues I raised with Unicomp. As a summary; compared to the final release version, this prototype runs prerelease firmware that is less effective at stopping phantom key generation, came with keys with minor legend alignment issues, and an issue where the controller board can be moved from applying pressure to the USB port.
