bold of the keyboard engineers at Kinesis to use christmas flags instead of the usual flash memory chips. I'm amazed that even made it fit inside this keyboard!

In response to this postIt turned out to be a super-common chip that I was just blanking on, an 74HCS595: 8-bit shift buffer.
Which makes me suspicious. I'm not sure that the fuck they're doing with that and why they'd need it.
@foone probably for the row strobes, 595s are good for when you don’t have enough output pins (eg i use em for talking to stepper motor drivers in cnc machines). Able to be driven by the SPI unit in a microcontroller.
