I'm lefthanded and a mirrord keyboard sounds frightening. In what way is that better for lefthanded? A standard full size keyboard is designed for lefthanded with all the unnecessary keys to the right (numkeys) so you can get the mouse closer to you which is more ergonomic. ;) I guess you could put ...

What about one of these thumbsticks on the qHACK?

Could it be a hhkb with a Sun connector?

It has the same problem as touch screens that you cover the displays with your hands. But if it was e-ink and cheap It would be cool but just as a smal feature not a usp.

Do you know how they achieve it? I tried to google it but I didn't find any good information.

Edit: sorry forgot to check the Deskthority wiki, found some good information there of course

So is there a trick to get nkro without making a non standard protocol and a driver for the os?

Interesting so it's 24-key rollover (4*6)

I'm also planing on making a wireless and when/if i find a solution I will post it here.

You need to be patient if your going for a custom build. I think it's going to take some time before you have everything that's needed and then It's time to assemble it (the most fun part!). Patient as in the custombuild project are not done? No, they are not done. or they'll take take their time s...

I've got the script to generate the PCB 99% finished.

You are generating the PCB? Not drawing it? How does that work?

The pock made me buy a Realforce and I'm always bottom it out, but I still like it. The collapsing dome just drags my finger down. MX browns makes me type softer and not always bottom out.

I found this datasheet of a newer version of the chip http://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/113353/NSC/INS8060.html. Hopefully they are similar and has the same pinout. I think it's power and some sort of serial in the connector as there are only five wires. You could figure out how it wor...

Has anyone an established contact with Unicomp and is able to ask them if we can buy trackpoints? Or should I just mail there customer service?

These scroll wheels seems nice http://www.logitech.com/lang/pdf/ib-microgear_and_smartshift_EN.pdf I wonder it they are too big to fit. they can be harvested out of Logitech Corded Mouse M500 which are cheap. I think I'm going to buy one and take it apart :) Edit: That thing looks like it's to big a...

Maybe we can buy new trackpoints and buttons from Unicomp?

How about combining the revers staggering board with the trackpoint board. Than we can put the trackpoint in the gap between G and H and won't have to use special key caps. This might make everyone happy or maybe no one

That sounds good. I have got a Filco and a Qpad (that I used as a donor board) and the Filco is defensively of higher quality. So now you can get a Rosewill, CM Storm, WASD, Filco or Das keyboard if you want a board made by Costar. Looks like the wiki needs to be updated.

Is there something special with this one or is it like a steel series or qpad? There seems to be many Cherry based, standard form factor, black keyboards available now days. Feels like you could just go for the cheapest one with the switches you like.

So just to be clear the HyperMini PCB will allow for an ANSI Winkeyless layout, 1.5x modifiers, but with 1x modifiers between them? Will there also be a plate that supports this configuration? Yes, the gaps can be filled with switches. How about the case, sir? I think it's important too. Cases for ...

How about the case, sir? I think it's important too. I'm thinking of maybe 3D-printing one that can hold a trackpad on the side but that is going to get expensive. milling one i aluminum could be interesting (or in steel if you don't like the keyboard moving around on the desk :-)) or making a comp...

Is the C400 and C600 names referring to something?

The HYPERMINI/ISOWIN has no spaces between keys anywhere right? It's easier to make a nice looking case if the whole top is covered with keys like the Poker.

Doesn't the HYPERMINI/ISO need a function key or something to switch to a layer with arrow keys, del, page up i.e. ?

Open it up and liquify the joints of the problem switches. That should not be to hard and then you can rule out could joints.

There are good prices on some Topre Realforce keyboards with Swedish/Finnish layout at http://www.verkkokauppa.com/popups/prodinfo.php?id=43871 . Use Chrome to translate the site if your Finnish isn't good enought. :) The shipment cost goes crazy if your not in Finland but I sent them an e-mail and ...

Clears would be a good choice. The stiff springs makes it pleasant to hammer on and the tactile feedback invites you to start typing softer and get better ergonomics. This means that you will please more than one category and some might start type softer and feel less stress on there hands. Personal...
