Yeah, there's a reason I want to properly mount it using screws once I find my drill bits/buy some new ones - it's fine in the short term, but I don't want to keep the board supported by bricks (particularly the 2x1 ones which are passing significantly beyond the protected area of the screw holes) w...

I have 1x1 and 1x2 Lego tiles working as stand offs (size dependent on whether the screwhole centres properly on a single one) under the screw mounts. plus 1x1 tiles in the corners for added support (upon which small dabs of sugru live to cushion the corners). The plan was to screw directly into the...

So, a while back I posted about on DT about my slight desire to make a Lego case for my Pure Pro keyboard (largely because I prefer my keyboards to be flat/tilted away from me, something most pre-made cases don't really accommodate. That, and well, if I'm going to opt for a custom case, why not make...

I don't think it has anything to do with ANSI/ISO, because ISO/IEC 9995 allows shuffling symbols. US QWERTY can be used on an ISO-compliant keyboard without interefering with the standard. ...aside from missing a key (nothing to do with the Enter, but thanks to the longer left-shift) and having to ...

I love ISO because of the placement of the keys. I really don't like my @ to be on 2 because it means that when I come to use quotes I have to move my hands out of the way. I don't think it has anything to do with ANSI/ISO, because ISO/IEC 9995 allows shuffling symbols. US QWERTY can be used on an ...

I stick by my preference for ISO here, but the enter is mostly incidental to it - you could have almost as good a layout with the ANSI enter. The main advantage is the number of keys, and the UK placement of symbols, that makes me prefer ISO: the important interjection keys of hash, tilde, at and ba...

Tch, as if Activision would have such naming skill - I think you'll find that that's a perfect example of the Capcom naming system

not sure you can passive cool a hd4000 HD4000 processors are simply the previous generation Intel integrated graphics for their standard processors (e.g. the NUC-friendly i3-3217U was an HD4000 processor), HD5000 the current generation (the i5-4250U I mentioned above integrates HD5000) - as the abo...

Thinking on your desire for a fanless, capable PC - though it certainly wouldn't be much of a games machine, one of the better-specced Intel NUC boards would make for an excellent general purpose machine (typing, web browsing, video watching etc.). They have extremely low thermal demands - only 15w ...

Unfortunately, if you want to avoid the problems of "bad graphics" and "bad processor" you'll have to throw your fanless design idea under the bus - in a case the size of a keyboard, even if you had a perfectly-machined set of heatpipes feeding to an all-metal case you won't be able to dissipate eno...

Ah, excellent I'll have a trawl through GH when I get a chance and try to pick up on any potential pitfalls in advance. Thanks for the heads up!

I'd agree with that. It is 'ignore the nag screen that pops up every ten saves' nice, however

They day it drops to £20 or less is the day I'll happily pay for it.

No love for WinAMP? I still use that sometimes on another computer. I guess I'm a bit ambivalent but foobar2000 is tastefully minimalist. foobar2000 lacks a raise/hide key binding unlike Winamp, so I've used AutoHotkey for that, but instead of hiding it, the window is left on the taskbar. Actually,...

Aye, it's basically just a (presumably somewhat uncomfortable) shell for a membrane keyboard, but it is a cute idea, and must have been an enjoyable piece of work. I've always liked the idea of making a Lego case for a keyboard; cost and the awkward size (height and width of the keyboard needing to ...

@Wiper, seeing how many people requested ISO we will consider it but not for the first batch. Manufacturing is already pretty complex and tooling costs are very high. It looks like a viable further offering, although I'm not sure how the small L shaped enter would look on the board. Don't fall for ...

It's been mentioned already, but it's a real shame that there's no plan for an ISO (or JIS) equivalent design. It's all well and good saying that "We consider the ANSI layout a better choice primarily because Enter and Left Shift are not so far away from the center of the keyboard", and hell, I can ...
