what's the Logo key function outside of emulators?

No, that key is special. That's the system menu key.

It's tied directly to a GPIO line (all 3 keys in the middle are) instead of the keypad matrix so that it can be used at any time. It will bring up a system menu with things like a task switching menu, system options and shutdown / suspend commands. The "Pandora" key is off the table for repurposing or remapping.

[answer to a question about using the shoulder buttons for Ctrl/AltGr]

Keine Sorge, wir sind immer noch am Diskutieren

L und R werden für Tasten aber nicht verwendbar sein - denn die Analog-Pads sollen als Maus nutzbar sein, und da hätten wir L und R gerne als Mausbuttons, denn es wäre ja doof, mit dem Analog-Pad die Maus zu bewegen und dann auf dem Touchscreen drücken zu müssen

L and R won't be usable, because the analogue nubs will be a mouse replacement and so we would like to have L and R as mouse buttons.

Aaaalso, so wie's im Moment aussieht bekommt die Hauptpandora eine generische (also englische) Tastatur ohne Sonderzeichen.
Ich werde aber deutsches Layout zum Nachkaufen anbieten (für ca. 3 - 5 Euro, also werdet Ihr nicht arm dabei) und später dann wohl auch welche mit vorinstallierter deutscher Tastatur.

Wir sind aber noch nicht ganz durch mit Diskutieren, aber so in die Richtung gehts wohl.

At the moment it looks like Pandora will get a generic(English) keyboard without special characters. But I will offer a German layout for sale(it'll be 3-5€). There will be Pandoras with preinstalled German keyboard later on.
We are still discussing, but it'll go in this direction.

Oh thank heavens for some news. Any news.

[Is it too late to re-order?]

No but try to be quick as we will be emailing the next batch of people waiting to place a new order this week, 6000 so people (first come first served), and I suspect that will then conclude the batch one order process.

Edit:
[Warranty?]

It is indeed one year, but fear not as we will allow you to buy any spare parts you might need in the future too.

Wenn ich ZUSÄTZLICH Matten anbiete, verzögert das die Produktion garantiert nicht - die haben ja mit der eigentlichen Pandora nichts zu tun

Das Werk optimiert gerade die Boardproduktion, die Teile sind alle da. Hier ist also bald schon grünes Licht.

Die Produktion der Tastaturmatten hat bereits begonnen, im Moment wird das Werkzeug hergestellt.

Wir warten im Prinzip auf die fertigen Prototyp-Gehäuse, um Stabilitätstests und CE / FCC machen zu können. Danach müssen wir nur noch sagen "Los gehts!" und die Produktion beginnt

If I offer mats ADDITIONALLY, the production won't be delayed - they don't have anything todo with Pandora's production

The factory optimizes the PCB production at the moment, the parts are all there. Production will be ready to go, soon.

Production of the keymats has already begun, the tool is being made now.

Basically we are waiting for the final prototype-cases[expl. CNC] to do stability, CE and FCC tests.

Then we'll just have to say "Off we go!" and production will begin

News on the analogue nubs:

Well [the analogue nubs] are totally custom made and designed for the Pandora, they are unique thus if any flaw should be found after say a year we can work to address the fault and improve them.
