Interesting idea. I can think of a couple of uses I'd put that to.

If it wasn't cloud config I'd back it enough to get one.

Appreciate the feedback, it's just an option; if the user just wants to rely on the mappings stored on flash they can.

To clarify, I was disliking the DAS keyboard he linked having config that's crowd sourced and appears to be permanently connected.

For your keyboard I would highlight how the config only optionally uses cloud and that your settings are quite happy offline. I see cloud and keyboard or mouse and think "avoid". A couple of gaming devices and their awful connected software has caused that reaction. I'd expect some others to make similar association! :)
