I just discovered my keyboard has a key combination to make it appear has a removable USB drive as well as a keyboard.that is slightly surprising

@foone usually one discovers a USB drive that surprisingly behaves like a keyboard instead. That's usually how that goes.

@foone 'troublesome' feels more adequate to me. 'Secret Malware compartment' immediately springs to mind

I've always wanted a mouse that did that. Embed a 128gb USB flash drive chip into the mouse. Then you can copy a file onto it, then connect it to another computer, and there it is

yet another thing I need to do for my Ultimate Bench Keyboard: Stick a bunch of interpreters on it, so you can script your keyboard in PASCAL or QBASIC or FORTH

the firmware is GPG signed. How much you wanna bet this device won't let you upload an unsigned firmware?

@foone a changing of the guard at work means I must return my laptop and be issued a new one. I've been promised local admin access but don't know if I'll be able to run WinCompose yet.Just occurred to me, I could move the compose-key functionality upstream, ideally to the keyboard itself or to an adapter module. Specifying custom compose sequences would become a chore but I hardly ever need to do that.

@foone 50/50 they buggered up the checks. 25% chance you can't upload any firmware.

@foone I would absolutely love that in a keyboard + trackball/touchpad/other combo. Perfect single device for manually deploying updates to multiple machines one by one.

@sabik I've got at least one of those, it's a mouse-phone. but it'd be neat to do a mouse with a pick-up sensor that triggers Siri or similar, so you could talk to it

It's got a 4 megabyte flash chip on the main PCB. I bet if I dumped that I'd find 3mb of the flash storage and 1mb of firmware
