Keyboards don't send characters, they send scan codes. The keyboard driver on your computer converts those to the appropriate characters.
E.g., the same scan code that is translated to a semicolon (;) by an US keyboard driver is translated to an ö by a German keyboard driver.
So this means, as ...

How is that possible ? With the ergodox layout configurator I can't even create a proper azerty layout !!!

Bingo jeff, I'm using bépo everyday and I use a TM 2030. That's why I'm interested in the keyboard, but yes we can just make it azerty, and use a driver to enable bépo on it.

Hey I have ordered one and I would like to know if we can program letters like É or À directly in the firmware, the web gui doesn't allow me to do it .

xauser post us a vidéo now please !!!

ok thanks for the advice, I'll go check for a not so cheap one

For the first try I will have to do a masterpiece ~_~ I'm a little afraid but it doesn't seems insurmountable.

I still don't know how to solder but I couldn't resist, I ordered one

Great news is it possible to have a «service» that can assembly the board ? I have never done it.

One anonymous maggot is thanking you for this precision :p

No necropost addict here but I wanted to know how the project is going on ?
I mean can we see some videos of some people typing on it ? and is it still possible to order an ergodox assembled ?

There are some to sell right now on ebay uk, who is going to buy some ?

Unfortunately the postage include only United Kingdom…

Cool a new contest, count me in !!!

You are full of ressources webwit ^^

Of course there are some keyboards that give you a good placement of your hands on the boards, like maltron, utron, typematrix,truly ergonomic, some old nec keyboards (they exists but no one can find them)
for example the old ultra rare boards:

Thanks for the advice but I'm interested in matrix layout, the AKC 090 keeps my attention.

Indeed I just looked over ebay .fr and .com and I found nothing. I would like to know as well the priced you payed for the akc090 and the package you got with it : keycap, software, …
If the price is too high I will not waste my time looking for something I can't buy.

Thanks in advance.

I'm interested in those boards. How did you get one ?

Like this :

Time has come out, so who is the winner (not me I know) ?

If you mean this :

then it's just a splitted keyboard, wich is a little improvement but it's most likely the microsoft natural keyboard 4000 :

Indeed, it's a great idea in this thread

Well we can discuss this matter a lot of time but what I can say :
1. I use the Typematrix everyday and I feel confortable on it and my arms don't come from my stomach at 90°, the matrix layout is really an improvement.
2. one size for all, yes but it's the case for 99.9% of all keyboard (indeed ...

So you're saying there is little chance to see in the market the truly ergonomic. What a shame, I have a forum friend who bought it already and is waiting to get it now, hope I will get it someday though ^_^

Hello I'm new to this board, and I see a lot about mechanical keyboard.
But as our primary input interface with a computer there is some improvement in the design such as Typematrix 2030

wich is not mechanical (sic)

such as the old ...
