Nice work, can't wait to see your prototype!

Thanks guys, personally I'm in love with that keyboard!

Hey 7bit,

Thanks for the keycaps, I got mine really early! they look great, will try to get a picture up at some point - though i don't usually have a decent camera with me at work.

I showed a friend your keyboard, and he was interested, in particular in the side function/numpad boards, can you ...

Looking forward to this, would prefer using stock filco plate, but would use your if price was too excessive.

Hope you are doing well in your exams, goodluck!

So clone or OEM'ed?

Nothing on the back - some sticky where the usual IBM back label would have gone.

Just found some Daewoo DTC-4000 UK keyboards and wondered what the deal was?

I realize that after the popularity of the model M there were a lot of clones... but these seem like complete replicas, Same caps, same stem (same buckling spring) - if it wernt for the Daewoo logo it would be identical in ...

Don't think I've been asked to!

I paid 50% already as requested - but haven't seen anything since...

Nope :( I have a board now, I produced code as a proof of theory to drive an n-key rollover keyboard matrix, its sitting on my desk right now - its not quite the same project - but related.

I'm not sure which direction I want to take the idea - an entire keyboard, or just an adapter?
It's a little ...

I think that sounds perfect (though the step would have been nice).
the other modifiers for the iso:
Left shift, Ctrl, Super, Alt, Meta == 1.25 Units
Right Shift == 3.5 Units

Are these OK on the SPH style?

I'm going add the RETRO/TKLUK and a few other bits and peices to my order - I take it the J ...

I like the spherical style the most, but there is one thing that I don't like: the enter and shift keys are less wide than in all the other sets, as if they do not fit. why is that?

for retro enter and shift look good/aligned:

The 2.25 units keys do only exist with rough texture and there is no ...

Am I too late for this?

I want replacement keycaps for my UK ISO tenkeyless filco majetouch2. Whats the latest numbers on such layouts so that I might pick one that has the most orders to increase the bulk buy

Thanks for this, great documentary.

The single greatest way to enhance your pointer precision!

Seriously, maybe its because I grew up with without my mouse moving differently based on acceleration. But I remembered how great the mouse was after disabling this 'feature'.

I've now added this to my 'things to do while setting up ...

Depending on price I would be interested in at least a couple

Thanks Guys

Hi there,

Ok so I got the electronics and the programming down, I can design the circuit for the Matrix, and write the code for a controller without issue (I've got a small scale breadboarded proof of concept at home)

Now my main concern is the Design and mounting of the switches. This sort of ...

What's the best e-reader for someone who cares mostly about PDF and text documents? I tried the Kindle but it rather sucked for that.

A while back I went for the Sony PRS650, partially based on its better than kindle PDF support.

If you view a pdf on the Sony at size 'small' it'll render the pdf ...

Well It seems I don't like linear switches. I'm defiantly very tactile and clicky - I guess that's just what I'm brought up on.

But here is a summary of what I thought about each:

Linear

Cherry Black - Very Heavy, not comfortable at all. Will cause fatigue
Cherry Red - Much better than Black ...

Presuming the test PCBs go well - roughly what do you think would be the final deadline for taking an order?

Originally I wasn't going to get in on this, but the more I'm playing around with my own controller, the more I want to build my own matrix, getting in on this would be a good logical step ...

I'm fairly new to the keyboard obsession, but my concern is over the rarity of UK ISO doubleshots - I see plenty of ANSI all over the forum, and don't wan't to miss out if I'm unlikely to see them again for a while.

Also the Whites could grow on me for all I know.

Its currently at £40~
Looks like a nice keyboard - UK like I need.

Its got Cherry MX Whites, which I'm not 100% about, I've got the switch try bag at the moment ...

Ahh morning peoples - I got the Switch Try Bag last night! I was home so late that I didn't really get much of a play with them.

I'll have a more in depth look when I'm home from work tonight.

One thing I noticed was that one of the cherry key caps has some damage - but its no big deal for testing ...

Bows down
Wow! that's basicly what I want to achieve, How have you your own firmware for your keyboard? I have two plans.

Either a. replace entire controller board, or b. create an adapter in the middle (ps/2 to usb maybe).

personally I'm leaning towards doing a. as it could be more interesting ...

They are useless rubbish fake alps? or just fake alps?

Well could use Vim-A and Vim-E as Home and End. thus removing the need for the ^ and $ keybinding from the number row - freeing it up to move the F keys onto there as the secondary function. Find a place for Print Screen and the rest and we've removed another entire row - though I don't like using ...

Hi I had a search around the forums, but turned up nothing - doesn't help when there is no manufacturer listed on the page.
