Comprei o meu primeiro mecânico porque era o único teclado na loja que NÃO tinha layout pt-pt.

Boa sorte para a buy.

Cool build!
That cable is awesome, I hope you have a matching one for the usb.

Obviously the seller is waiting for Bloomberg himself to make a bid

That's a cool board.

I look forward to clean the switches so it's no longer a scratchy mess .

Can I ask why?
this is pretty bad because they don't get much traffic (at least the portuguese one) and the spy really helped.
I'll probably miss almost all posts there now.

looking good matt3o

Great job matt3o!

Bem, mesmo para escrita não acho necessário ter o ! e o ? em acesso directo.
Em português não faz mt sentido a tecla morta para o ` (usada apenas em "à" e "àquela" ) ser directa e o ~ não.
Eu preferiria ter o Ç apenas no alt gr do C e usar essa tecla como ;/:

Ideia interessante.

Ou não os estou a a ver ou faltam os caracteres º e ª que são bastante importantes.

Não sei se o foco em programadores será muito realista. Parece me melhor que o PT mas continua a ser pior que UK (precisar de shift para ; e [ e { em alt gr).

Weirdly the "trend" to "destroy" keyboards started on deskthority: https://deskthority.net/workshop-f7/f-ssk-t10744.html

Back then it was celebrated on deskthority, these days we just point with the finger on different communities and blame them for being evil. Times are changing fast :lol:

But ...

It wasn't getting used, now parts of it will be used. Seems good to me.

Nice.

On ISO you could also leave F where you are and move J two spots to the right, together with a angle mod it gets you a center cluster of 7 symbols usable by either hand. The down side is it fucks the number row up unless you also have a split backspace.

Estou sempre por lisboa mas não me oponho a sair se der mais jeito à maioria.

Yeah i get that it's entertainment, but it's the same video with every "ergonomic" keyboard that is not staggered qwerty.
"look i don't know how to touch type and don't want to learn to, so this keyboard made with touch typists in mind is (convulsed way to say shit)".

Totally valid opinion and ...

At this point I don't really get why you "review" anything that's not traditional staggered qwerty.
You don't like them and don't seem to give them much of a chance, fine, no need to make a 8 minute video calling a keyboard bad because you never learned to use it.

It's as if you "reviewed" a ...

Nice find! How does the scrollwheel thingy work? Do you just click the button and then moving the mouse around scrolls?

I've found a couple of WMOs in second hand shops but nothing like this.

Thanks! You just out your finger on the scrollpoint, put a bit of force on it and scroll it up or down ...

Eh, I like it. And I usually hate exposed switches but it's a cool nod to the original and tasteful enough. I only hope that there is an option for single colour caps.

Well matt3o already tested a stock phpBB update here:

So if you want a spy, maybe other mods, a DT skin... that still leaves the problem there are no volunteers except people who cannot develop or don't have time. :roll ...

I dont mind back end upgrades but i am strongly against anything that changes the look and feel of the user interface. Its easy on the eye and simple to use at the moment. We dont want to turn into the vomit inducing mess that is the layout of geekhack.

Loss of the Spy would be a show stopper in ...

I'd bet the keyboard serves like a large ash tray after a while.

Spoiler:

So you're saying we should have a usb ligther built into the keyboard instead of a stand for a separate lighter?

Or remap backspace to be left arrow

The lighter holder is a nice touch that has been missing in a lot of high end kustoms.

Free to run, but they just spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy it remember?

Why would a company pay more than 30k to keep a forum running at loss?


Will Bright answered that question. Whether or not you believe what he says will, I imagine, depend entirely on your own feelings towards MassDrop in general. I've observed that among those with a strong opinion of MassDrop ...

Point of clarification: MassDrop plans to support GH financially, but has no interest in "running" it administratively (they are leaving that to the existing admins/mods). The cynics among you can call this a misleading lie on the part of Will Bright, but I'm taking a hopeful, if not optimistic ...

Yeah, zeal seems like a great idea now.

Was not expecting this outcome

I can't find anything redeeming about this one.

It's ISO

This reminds me of something you’d find on an alien spacecraft; where it resembles something human but everything is just a bit foreign.

That's an amazing 4th generation ergonomic layout mate.
