[Keyboard Identification] Unknown POS Keyboard

I got a nice POS keyboard today with plate mounted blue MX switches.
When I look at the interior, this could be the absolutely perfect donor board for a split mod!
My problem is, that I don't know anything about the board - no manufacturer - no model number - nothing...
The only hint could be the red-white-red logo looking like the austrian flag.

Can you help identifying this POS keyboard?

*lol* I searched for information for half a day and now I find it 5min after posting here.
It is a Tysso PKB-111!

Does anyone know how I can program a board like that?
It's my first POS keyboard...

There is a software download for it there.

Hmm, the lower PCB seems to have not much components... perhaps it would be possible to rebuild it smaller, exchange the flat cables against something flexible and create a two pieces split keyboard. Of course fully programmable! ;-) I will think about it...

This software doesn't run on my Win7 64bit ... :(

Try on a 32bit box, possibly XP?

Where'd you get that? I'd be interested if not solely for the mod capabilities.

It was an eBay find...
I thought of modding it myself, but perhaps you could change my mind! =) PM me!

I could not download the software from that link. The blue arrow is not clickable for me.

Any other download links that would work? Thank you.

At least the keyboard next to it looks like the one in the pictures.
