Mmm… I Iike the look of your candy store. How did you know that theme was coming? I was actually was aiming for " TRUVS - The Retro Unicorn Vomit Sweets" :lol: Nice thing about the PA parts is that they can be dyed pretty nicely, albeit the outcome is not always what the color looks on other pieces...

But first the boring stuff:
I think I'll go with the central square ones first.a After trowalization (barrel finishing) the surface is just smooth enough to feel very nice, will be interesting how the minimal height looks in a board.

Beautiful result with the carbon-fiber look, well done sir! And I'm sure you'll drop that mousebutton assembly in the next round for an even better appearance :D Spherical! That's a fine idea. The radius of the sphere would have a huge influence on typing, though. Needs a good bit of testing to find...

Really nice, especially the metal makes them true eye-catchers!
What tools did you use for the voronoi shapes? I tried with blender and some plugins a while ago, but did not get such nice shapes without lots of fine-tuning.

Not sure if you wrote this to me or somebody else Sorry for abusing this thread, will open a new one as soon as there is more to share, but this seemed like the best place. Hey I spot a Matt3o keycap over there! Wait and see for yourself :D Gotta work on the font cutouts, the tiny pieces really are...

Sneak peek of things to come: all are different variations of a symmetrical DSA variant

Since I just recently looked it up: the Cherry spec on cutout is 14+/-0.05 mm and 0.3mm max corner radius - I usually go as low as 13.85mm on my plastic plates since it is easier to take a little off later on

Nice to see you back, lowpoly - guess I owe you big time for giving me the initial inspirations to build my own boards after all :D Back to topic: I've had good experiences with even thinner trackpoint stems so far - so good, in fact, I still haven't changed the top of the pin in over half a year no...

I received the Reaper yesterday and will try it during the next weeks, but so far it is quite impressive in look and feel, and I hope to make good use of the many extra configurable buttons for non-gaming apps, too.

Wohoo! Congratulations to all other participants/winners

Thanks to CM for the generous prizes, the jury for taking the time and of course matt3o for bringing this to life!
Hopefully there will be a next time with more participants...

Someday someone should make a lego-style keyboard, where everyone can make his dream layout by moving and relocking different pcb-plate-keys parts at different positions relative to one another. Not quite the same, but if you're aiming for some semi-automatic cut-out plate creation, I found OpenSCA...

SpaceMouse Pro draft added.

This review is work in progress , but according to the recommendations already online for comments and criticism. More pictures pending... glow.JPG Disclaimer: Although I do have some experience in 3D-design, construction and animation I am most likely not the best reviewer for such a specialized de...

And as such I request an annual payment for re-using it from now on

What software magick are you using to bring that mouse movement / key remapping sync about? Some of the deeper layers of Hasu's box of tricks? Not using Hasu's code, but I assume it could be implemented there, too: Essentially, I'm temporarily activating the layer with the mouse button mappings whe...

Definitely a design I like :D http://deskthority.net/resources/top/6832 I got my trackpoints from old laptop keyboards, works really well, the only issue is the additional height needed for the pcb if you intend to place them like you did right in the center, and the need for an extension since it w...

If you haven't tried OpenSCAD yet, this part would be a prime example for some experiments with it: I whipped up some crude code which should be fairly configurable, and find it a lot easier to prototypes that way than with blender, too, as much as I like it for more complicated and free-form design...

The slider is too small and the 3d printing technology sucks. Must reply to such provocative statements :twisted: I'd gladly help you change your mind here with some testing. If you posted the source of your model and maybe a more detailed description of which areas were problematic I could try to ...

sssh!

Looks similar to the 3D printed cherry mx keycap from keekstee

Here's another one with an extra port on the back and white clicky tactile switches I cannot identify: Model No. MKB-84 FX / FCC ID: GM8MCK-84KBPD MKB-84_FX-1-P1130409.JPG MKB-84_FX-2-TypeSerial_P1130416.JPG MKB-84_FX-3-Switch_P1130407.JPG MKB-84_FX-4-Rear_P1130418.JPG Large images here , but don't ...

Sorry, but I'm out, too as I cannot wait anymore and found I can save 75% if I only order the one I need directly

Alright, since I never touched a topre I'll join this raffle (without any shark reference)

Would love to order 3x 2.0 and 1x 3.1, but mobile browser does not complete spreadsheet. Hope next week is still sufficient, will try later.

Since I finally implemented dynamically editing and storing macros in my firmware, I haven't been flashing it quite as often anymore - and wonder now why I did not tackle it sooner... Guess the password changing policies were not as strict as to create enough pressure :roll: A clean implementation w...

I'm quite sure I will start to like it when I find out how to make it register clicks.... :o The trackpoint documentation (YKT3Eext.pdf) is pretty good and contains good pointers to the registers used. I found my two models easy to set-up for the "Press to Select" mode, but the larger one wasn't re...

I already have plenty of new projects up my sleeve - but yes, that could be one of the options. Or rather BS? Caps? RPi? Who knows...

Are the 1-unit blanks (without nub or dish) also available in grey and black? Since other sets include them already, I wonder whether BLANK/R3U100/GREY and BLANK/R3U100/BLACK could also be ordered.

Hey suka, that new TrackPoint does not look like it comes from a ThinkPad. Where did you get it? It is indeed from an old IBM laptop. It seems impossible to source them or any other trackpoint module separately. Haven't tested the Easypoint module yet which looked promising on paper, but someone on...
