# The ULTIMATE Hacking Keyboard

**[DevOps Toolbox](https://daily.dev/sources/devopstoolbox)** · 1 min read · 16 upvotes · 5 comments

## Summary

A hands-on look at the UHK (Ultimate Hacking Keyboard), a split, modular mechanical keyboard with an LCD screen and swappable attachments including a thumb cluster, trackball, trackpoint, and a tiny touchpad. The reviewer compares it favorably in modularity to their Dygma Defy but notes downsides like the staggered key layout, poor typing experience out of the box, and the board sliding on desks despite rubber feet. It's fully configurable for those willing to customize it.

> Does the UHK still slide on a desk mat, or could the modules be causing most of the movement?
