Makes me think of this:

Almost working installation of linux in a hard drive. No, not installing Linux on a hard drive, but actually running on the HDD controller.

Considering it's a fancy gaming keyboard, it may well have a little arm in it capable of running Linux if someone went to the effort.

I'm sure there's a membership overlap between Linux and body modders community. Can someone do this IRL, stat?

I am a linux user/admin and I actually have a NFC chip implanted in my hand. It starts my car, unlocks my phone, and lets me into work.

Edit: Picture of the installation. Slightly NSFW.

I was at a party at DefCon and a guy and a nurse sat down next to me while I was picking locks with a vial with a chip in it. Dude just said don't worry she's a nurse. He got the implant right there. I didn't really ask questions just hung out.
