The controller is [Olimex AVR-T32U4](https://www.olimex.com/Products/Duino/AVR/AVR-T32U4/open-source-hardware), Arduino Leonardo clone. It runs really well with the [Kwin script](https://github.com/Aetf/kwin-maxmize-to-new-desktop) for maximizing the windows to a new virtual desktop, when they are in full screen.
