Well I voted for right only, and considering i work in CAD I have never really thought about using the other hand and use to always poke fun at my friend for using the "wrong hand". I must say though, I just tried it and even using my normal cad programs is now my right hand is having to do all of t...

You would need something like the Arduino Leonardo. The Leonardo will connect directly with usb and act as key inputs almost natively. The Leonardo can take (I think) 9 inputs. So you should have more than enough headroom for your needs. I am sorry I can't help you much more, I would help you with t...

As soon as i have another board. I will be looking into some mods. I was thinking of "installing" a little LCD Screen across the top section that displays... well... whatever I want ;) and use arduino to drive it all. Then again, the raspberry Pi would be a very nice thing to have. Do you have a lin...

I think the biggest thing for me was changing keyboard. I used to just use old membrane keyboards that felt slow and "squidgy", Until I bought the keyboard that I am using now. After that, my typing speed didn't just magically improve. It just helped to know when the key had been pressed, and it kin...

The 3000 case has unused screwmounts which can be used after punching through the sealed holes on the bottom half. That should add a good bit of rigidity. I used a 3.5mm drill to open the mounts and 3x25 wood screws to fasten. Just have a look at the bottom it's pretty obvious. If your friend did j...

I did hear that the old models were nice and heavy. But then again, who picks up their keyboard? Or actually flexes the 'chassis' during normal use? I use the numpad all the time, and to be honest I am pretty sure I WILL be sticking with another of these. I honestly see no reason to pay for a more e...

I love the look of it! One of my friends (he is a fabricator) offered to take the case of the keyboard and remake it completely out of aluminium for me, for around £30. Very tempting! Going to have to buy another for home because I love using this one, Unless anyone knows of another I should get ins...

Well I use this keyboard at work. And a Steelseries G6V2 at home. And I can not stand the black switches. I feel literally no gain over a stiff membrane keyboard at more than triple to cost. There is an amazing amount of space in the top of the keyboard to fill it with a packing material such as pol...

Cherry G80-3000 Thoughts?
I have this keyboard and I love it. It is my first mechanical keyboard and I am loving the feel of the MX Blues. I was just wondering what other people thought of this board and if I had wasted my money (It was only £40). I only have one small issue with it... and that is that the build quality is n...

Take a look at the KENSINGTON Orbit Optical Trackball. I used one of these for 3-4 months when I was doing a lot of video editing and I wanted to avoid wrist strain. It was very nice to hold and feels very much like a normal mouse. http://www.hardwareecke.de/testberichte/eingabegeraete/images/kensin...
