 A simple controller for [daskeyboard](https://daskeyboard.com) models 4Q and 5Q
 keyboards, without the need for a vendor cloud.
 
+## About
+This project aims to replace the official Q-software from das keyboard. The
+official software is slow, bloated and -most importantly- depends on the
+vendor's cloud service, to offer it's *smart*-functions, such as using RGB
+profiles, or displaying information on the keyboard. And above all, it's written
+in JavaScript. 
+
+This solution tries to implement a small, fast and strictly local approach. It
+aims to provide similar functions to the user as the official software,
+including creating scripts to send signals to certain keys, and using the
+*Q*-key to initiate action.
