#2I couldn't find any open source links on the site (reading from phone), is it open hardware or open config app/firmware?

The desktop site has a link to https://github.com/trustcrypto in the footer.

There is a link to https://github.com/trustcrypto from within what seems to be the footer of (at least) the FAQ page.

#5I've owned and used an OnlyKey for around a year and a half now and have had a really positive experience using mine. There is one issue, unfortunately the LED lights do not work when the key is plugged into a USB 3 port. The key itself works, but you do not get any LED feedback which can make unlocking and using it a little difficult. Be sure to keep this in mind if you're thinking about purchasing one.

#6I really like the concept. I bought 4 of them a while ago (maybe a couple of years?) mostly to support them. I used one onlykey as my daily driver, I tried to integrate it with pass (my password manager at that time) without much luck. The software itself was very rough, the key was not meant to be used in your keychain: clear signs of usage after about a month, the usb port started to "fade", it was hard to use the touch buttons, it factory resetted at some point (out of nowhere). Overall: I'm going to keep an eye, try them again in the future, but I fee the product needs one or two more iterations before I can depend on them as my daily security driver. Oh, and LED lights stopped working after a few weeks.
one huge disadvantage (which is the same for yubikey) is that I use programmers dvorak as my keyboard layout: had to change it every time to English to input the passwords/token.

There's currently an issue (and an open PR) in to add dvorak support, though, I'm not sure if/when it'll be merged.

#8In concept I like it, but one of the biggest yubikey advantages is how unobtrusive it is. I realize the tradeoff they're going for: Absolute security in the event that it's stolen... but I think that's actually bad for me since I'd rather have a tiny button to press as a second factor, than absolute security with a big dongle.
It'd be great if they just released a direct yubikey style clone.

#9Open source is the only way to security in most cases.

#10Are the schematic files and PCB/Gerber files available? I understand that they only claim to be Open-Source and not Open Source Hardware but it would still be nice to see and have the hardware schematics.
