Loopmotion is running a kickstarter based on your design/software

From what I can see on the site, the hardware looks like a custom adaptation of deskhop hardware, and the software looks like a straight copy with a new name and logo.

Wonder why they didn't shrink the device and didn't even try to move the connectors in a more convenient, or just different position. For some reason they stick to the original layout which was defined by the RP Nano boards.

BTW, the other clone on KickStarter, the MultiControl, seem to run away with my money.

As LoopMotion we have talked with Hrvoje about the design and use. We didn't shrink the device as we had to incorporate multiple additional hardware measures to surge protect and fully isolate computers. That required additional components that took up more space. And yes, you can use one computer at any given moment.

Thanks, I understand the design is a very subjective thing and your layout has its reasons.
One more question: will you have any improvements in the keyboard support and the screen layout control?
I have a Lenovo ThinkPad Travel Keyboard SK-8855 that I would like to use.

Don't want to overtake this thread, and just wanted to answer a question but Hrvoje and LoopMotion devices are capable of using the keyboard you mentioned as it's a wired keyboard. The mouse should work just fine as well. I don't see any specific issue with the screen layout as the board can support up three monitors per side as long as you keep main screens in the center. Again, if you want to reach loopmotion directly you can find us through the website. Thank you again.
