Or 125...125 12 times

TheQsanity · 21 Mar 2013, 19:47

Any update?

Ill assume this will come out way after gh60 so I wont have to worry about saving some money for this yet?

guilleguillaume · 22 Mar 2013, 06:15

I'm waiting for a response on the GH60 GB thread but I would like some of this layouts:

You can use original Cherry keys or DSA Retro sets.

matt3o · 22 Mar 2013, 08:55

apart for the HUGE spacebar, I like your layouts, especially the ISO ones

We need some sexy updates! What's happening with this thing?

I'm guessing this will kick into gear after R4 is sorted and shipped. Probably in a month or so.

rindorbrot · 21 Apr 2013, 16:33

I still want a HyperPoo!

Right.

Update? Will this thing ever happen?

7bit · 04 Jul 2013, 12:47

Yes, but first I must ship the Round 4 stuff. How do you think people will be able to type on a Hyper keyboard, if they don't have key caps?

Poom · 04 Jul 2013, 13:45

Hey, i didnt read through all the thread, but the HyperMicro dont need any stabs right? doesnt look there is any key longer than 1.25 to me.

another thing though, through Teensy 2, i can still program the keys around right? i can only use the space bar with my right thumb....

The HyperMicro PCB is intended for a lot of layouts, including 6.25 and 7 units space bars.

You can indeed program the teensy to whtever you like.

But the space bar can also be used with your left thumb (if it exists

).

Poom · 04 Jul 2013, 14:13

oh cool, I am then very interested, should i fill in the form?

I still have my letft thumb but unfortunately it is reserved for a different usage

by the way 7bit, I sent you a long PM, hope you have time to answer, its not a love letter so dont worry.

Why would he even bother to read it then?

It is about Cherry springs.

I think you should post this in the keyboards forum, because I'm not the expert for springs. I'm only an expert to sell stuff (rolling deadline etc.)

Poom · 04 Jul 2013, 14:35

rolling deadline like a boss! that is sexy 7bit, maybe i should find time to write you a love letter!!

so Ill fill in the form about this HyperMicro... but is it going to happen eventually? I have many spare switches lying around... they need a home.

RougeRambo · 04 Jul 2013, 17:05

im in for a hyper micro depending on price, also whats the sitrep on these cba to read 17 pages. also any chance of including a trackpoint??

7bit · 04 Jul 2013, 18:06

You mean this?

kekstee · 04 Jul 2013, 19:00

Mh, I've wondered, does anybody use a Fn key right of the right shift on a daily basis? How do you cope with it being (seemingly) so far out of the way? Is your second layer located closely around the Fn key or below the left hand?

I got kinda used to the Poker right Alt Fn location, and think about moving it next to a short left shift for custom layouts to fit in a 7x Spacebar. The lower right part of the keyboard seems like and odd location though. Maybe it's my mistake not to give those keys more love…

(I think this without the right Fn should be my favourite 60% layout :D)

Muirium · 04 Jul 2013, 20:00

The HHKB users should be able to tell you, as that's its default location for function.

The HHKB arrows seem smart to me. I'm currently working on layers for my PC/XT Model F which, among many other oddities, has a short right shift and a button just there for trying likewise.

ماء · 04 Jul 2013, 20:07

Hi 7bit

What actually hyperkeyboard it, whether like gh60?

is there a double spacebar without trackpoint?

Any pic Hypermicro and Hypermini 7bit keyboard

Thanks

Wth put your little finger in the FN and arrow keys with middle or index finger,maybe like it

Muirium · 04 Jul 2013, 20:27

Yes, it's the little finger function key. The arrows aren't quite home row, but they are nicely laid out when your hand reaches down that way. Then your left hand is free to hit combos of whatever modifiers you require. For instance, I frequently do Shift + Option (Alt) + left / right to select groups of words. Should be pretty slick on HHKB. And maybe this huge but just as arrow keyless Model F!

this seems good, eraze/ease on my m15 is awesome once you get used to it, would be good here too.

maybe make the original backspace into a windows key? or something like that

also when would these go into production..if ever

7bit · 05 Jul 2013, 18:22

Soon.

Really.

Pure sex! The colemak is scary, but I love the rest! Additional kudos for getting rid of capslock.

any update, i really want this!

blue6249 · 15 Sep 2013, 21:27

I had a few issues with the original design:

1. I did not see a point in having a scroll wheel and a trackpoint. That's one of the things that they're awesome at (and it increases the cost/complexity)

2. I don't see a reason to rearrange the control/alt/meta keys.

3. You don't need two backspaces, Might as well use the key for more functionality.

4. I love page up/down!

webwit · 15 Sep 2013, 21:30

It's programmable anyway, any qHACK layout you see here is just an example.
