Adaptive keyboard API

Create a developer API for adaptive keyboard layouts. Serve innovators building next-gen input methods.

Why now

Novel keyboard concepts need software support to become practical.

Who for
Input device developers
Business model
SDK licensing
Effort
A few months

Emerging keyboard hardware (like moving-key designs) lacks standard software interfaces, limiting development. An open API could accelerate innovation.

Develop a cross-platform API that abstracts adaptive keyboard features - key movement, haptics, dynamic labels. Provide emulators for testing.

Monetize through premium SDK features and consulting for hardware makers.

Start with a basic USB/HID implementation and simple demo apps.

Risk is slow hardware adoption making the market niche.
