Please open source this driver!

[dkarter]

Hello @haata,

I hope this message finds you well. I recently purchased the Kono 67 keyboard and I'm absolutely in love with its feel and profile. However, as a macOS and Linux user, I've been having trouble using the keyboard without remapping some of the keys. I tried running Windows in a VM, but unfortunately, the driver doesn't detect the keyboard and I don't have access to a Windows computer.

I understand that the driver is currently only available for Windows and it doesn't seem to be under active development. That's why I'm reaching out to you to ask if you would consider open sourcing the driver. By doing so, you would not only help me but also many other users who are facing the same issue. We would be able to port the driver to other operating systems and continue to enjoy the Kono 67 keyboard.

Thank you for taking the time to read my message. I truly appreciate your consideration and hope for a positive response.

Hi @dkarter
Unfortunately, Kono did not write the driver for this keyboard (it was provided by the factory in China).
I do feel your frustration on the lack of Linux support though...

Normally VMs should be fine as long as the correct USB passthrough is done (for VMware you have to make sure the device is fully attached to the VM and not the host OS).
