There's a custom keyboard coming out soon that is programmable. What language do I have to learn to program a keyboard controller?

C?

I sure hope not.

Why? Is it that I should have know controllers use ASM? Or something?

Why the fuck do you want to program a keyboard controller? Why not just reinterpret the events you get from the keyboard in the computer?

Because the keyboard is custom made. I have to buy the PCB from a Group Buy and program the Fn layer myself, or use someone else's programming.

What chip is meant to go on this PCB? ASIC? MCU? CPLD? If the "Fn layer" is the only part not implemented, what is the rest implemented in? If this thing needs to be programmed and it is a common microcontroller, you'll need to program more than just the "Fn layer", or at least have access to the existing code that implements the rest of the controller. MCUs of the sorts that go in simple devices are wiped and reburnt as a whole to modify code, unless it has some BASIC or Forth (or Scheme) interpreter running EEPROM tokens.

I'm ever slightly surprised the resident GPL noider hasn't left a comment yet about the need for a libre backdoor-free firmware for his keyboard.

I really doubt keyboard controllers have much potential for affecting my computer's security.

Radio emitting hardware keyloggers, maybe?

Or I guess all electronics are radio emitters

If your room isn't a faraday cage, it's crap

What the fuck dude? Do you really believe that people will take the time to establish radio receivers to collect all that data? If the government did that, they'd only bother with people that cause a threat to them.

Nowadays data storage is so cheap that they can log everything before having the ability to bother with them.
