Footprint is smaller than a 122-key Model F, so it is kind of a compact keyboard.vivalarevolución wrote: ↑That is GIGANTIC.
Right, probably too compact for kbdfr!
They are in production and will be here in about 1-2 weeks.scottc wrote: ↑I want to talk about it... after you send us our HyperMicros!
28.5 units vs. 25.5 typing area. These are just 1.5 units left and right. Here is a model F:Muirium wrote: ↑Oh yeah? Try adding a case.
Your link is dead. The top 3 rows are at an angle against the lower 5, so with the curvature of the key caps this gives quite some curvy keyboard, not unlike the Model F.Incognito wrote: ↑I'm not sure this qualifies as entirely technical issues but here are my 10 cents anyway.
- Ergonomics - all those keys outside the central block - they would be more accessible if they were at an angle - like in this keyboard: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ ... 85A65A.png
This keyboard requires 0 stabilisers. The 2 units keys go over 2 switches. Use switches with light springs like MXRED for these. In my Tipro I have MXBLACKs and not much of a problem to hit those keys. Usually the 2 top rows are just decorations. However, you can also have them equipped with 1-unit keys.Incognito wrote: ↑ [*]Stabilisers - all the wide keys at the top - would they amount to a lot of stabilisers or are they just narrow enough to avoid them?
Incognito wrote: ↑[*]Internationalisation - with all those keys around surely there could be made room for 1x1 keys for Ü, Ä, Ö or Æ, Ø, Å or whatever extra keys BéPo need - all of course in their proper places.
I know that the USB-keyboard protocol has some limitations, but there are a lot of useless "media-key" key codes, that can be used for real things.Incognito wrote: ↑ [*]Usage: I'm assuming all those keys are meant to map to control key combinations or macros? If so wouldn't this introduce an application dependent mapping hell - or are you assuming everything is done from the terminal?
All my hopes rely on people like suka, matt3o and litster to design cases for this.Incognito wrote: ↑ [*]Cases: Custom ones are needed obviously - is there a project for that too?
Key caps are available from Round 5 (currently shipping) Round 5a (soon shipping) and Round 6 (really soon shipping).Incognito wrote: ↑Anyway I quite like it, it's kind of cool - I'm just not sure what I would use it for. If I were writing full time this just might have a lot of potential - LATEX macros, formatting macros and that sort of thing. That would of course require special keycaps and where would I get anything like that?

Eeeeeeexcellent...
