   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.

     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

     oh, the pascal apps are for the configuration GUI, not the keyboard itself. aww

     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 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

     Alternative proposal: mouse with a microphone in the bottom

     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

     Why hack one when you can just get an sd card reader mouse?
