Rafi Express 2
Thanks to [DMA] I actually know a bit about this keyboard (he'll be able to enlighten further if he peruses). It's a terminal keyboard used on the Express 2 line in Russia (or Soviet Union when it was actually built). The keyboard itself is really odd, because Rafi is a German Company (and I don't b...

So, yes, I agree (I've also tried doing selective sending of portions of the hid descriptor to optimize the actual data transfer). Unfortunately, the main reason why not a lot of other descriptors have been tried...OS compatibility. Linux, Windows and Mac all have their own unique non-conforming HID...

Hmm, with an RJ-11 it's likely completely different.
My old converter code is here -> https://github.com/kiibohd/controller/b ... can_loop.c
I might have a pinout drawing around, but I'll have to dig a bit.

I'm on vacation unfortunately...but I can reveal a bit more. This switch is *really* awesome.

Here's a rather nice soviet hall effect clone. I've known about this one for a long time, but it's taken until now for me to get my hands on one. Seems to have been made in Czechoslovakia in 1988. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1496/24420357969_3713a5c97d_k.jpg DSC04318 https://farm2.staticflickr.co...

this is something that had to be done, I'd like to help but I'm afraid you are flying well over my head here :) Not sure how people feel about installing a driver, but I guess who really needs UTF-8 is already used to install additional software.

Using minimal hardware on the keyboard end of things could cut custom build costs quite a bit, though I'm not sure how interested I'd be in relying on an additional driver. This is for the things we can't do without a driver. The main example is UTF-8, it's just not possible to do using USB HID, so...

It'll be kept separate from Kiibohd and Input Club which the hope that it'll go beyond the Kiibohd firmware. U...

:D This is one of my favourite keyboards. It's too bad the keycaps go a bit shiny (mine was NIB). I even use it for my avatar! I've made a controller for this thing, but it's very different compared to other keyboards. It uses a parallel protocol rather than serial. I had to re-wire a couple keys be...

Congrats on the acquisition HaaTa! Looks to be in great condition and it is a pretty cool keyboard. I was close to getting mine running but I put it aside after the pictures for now.

Thanks snuci, I would've totally passed this up if I didn't know it was a Fujitsu Leaf Spring Gen 1. It's not in super awesome condition. Broken tabs, handle seems a bit off, and a note from 1992 that it has a bad power supply. But! The keyboard, how you could say no to those keycaps and the slight ...

How many of these do you have? I really like the caps, feet, and overall look of the board.
I only have one of these, but I have seen a few on ebay recently.

Are those redundant contacts, or do both sets need to be pressed down to complete the circuit? If it's redundant I'm impressed, though mildly worried about doubled keystrokes. If it isn't, that's an awful idea considering how much corrosion is present. Two failure points per switch! Yeah, it's redu...
