While the ability to switch the firmware is really neat and impressive, it wouldn't be of much use (at least to me), because I wouldn't know how to use a 12c or even a 16c with the 15c's keycaps.

Most folks who had inquired about a sam7 voyager KEMU port were interested in multiple personality support. But you're correct, that's the fundamental limitation of the experiment. Key legend support in the graphic version helps to offset this but obviously isn't a complete solution.

The complete solution is arguably allowing 30 y/o firmware to rest in peace, clean the slate and define the functionality for a device with a unified UI which does what you really want.
