I added those lines to my matrix init function, but that does not seem to have any impact to fix the backslash keys. The other keys that share the same rows and columns seem to work fine, which is odd. I am using Adafruit's 32u4 breakout board (http://www.ladyada.net/products/atmega32u4breakout/#des...

I've finally found some time to work on my keyboard. I have got the two Kinesis keywells hooked up and working, but the two backslash keys don't seem to be working. I also noticed that if I press and hold "down", it looks like I have just tapped the "down" key. I am wondering if perhaps there is som...

I apologize for not reading all the posts here or all the source before asking my questions, but I figure asking directly is simpler and clearer. I've been meaning to use this firmware for a long time and see that it has improved a lot since I last looked at it. There are a couple features I'm curio...

I've been thinking of doing a mod like this for my Kinesis. Yesterday I found this on Tindie: https://www.tindie.com/products/jkicklighter/adns-9800-optical-laser-sensor/ The guy designed the board for a custom trackball, and it works over SPI, so it should be relatively easy to integrate into a cus...

Suka: I got your prototypes yesterday. Very interesting stuff. (Also, impressive packing job getting all that stuff into that tiny box). The curvature of the key well in the smoothly curved sample is a bit steeper than my Kinesis. I might have to try populating it (or a slightly modified version) to...

Has anyone gotten the N35P112 hall effect joystick to work with a teensy? I'm looking for a firmware code sample that makes it work as a mouse.

My one remaining doubt now is how I can get access to the console mode. Can anyone shed some light on this? I have not yet used the console mode, but as I understand it, you need to connect a USB-serial adapter to the serial port of your microcontroller. One of the many things I want to do is use t...

hasu, thank you for the firmware and open sourcing it. It's really great. Do you have plans to support switching layers by changing the position of MX-lock switches? I was thinking of hacking that in there but didn't want to waste the effort if you were already working on it. Thanks! I have dug a b...

How do you like those joysticks as mice? Can you compare them to a TrackPoint? I'm modding my Kinesis and planning to use the same joystick as this board has (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10835) but I also have some PSP joysticks and have considered the full size thumb stick too.

tlt: Comments page to the joystick says that that one was used in dell laptops, so PH102 caps (track stick cover) will fit. Ebay shows some results for around $5. I think you misread. Someone was asking if they were the same as in Dell laptops, and the answer was no. I have a laptop with TrackPoint...

The analog buttons could be interesting for mouse keys too. I just started using hasu's firmware with mouse keys and the fact that i can't precisely control the cursor speed without tapping would be solved with analog keys. I'm getting more tempted to do this mod, but I already have too few pins on ...

I'm working with the mini hall effect joysticks in my current mod. I designed my own, smaller breakout board and got the joysticks on sample from the manufacturer (only had to pay duty). My original plan was to put this thing next to the keys on my Kinesis, but i think I could probably fit it betwee...

The only thing that bothers me is that if I have two keyboards connected, and both have this feature, then they will fight based on their polling and both will try to set the Caps Lock state to their respective states :P The "simple" solution there is to make your own custom MX locks with solenoids...

This mouse looks interesting too, though it seems like the TrackPoint might just be for scrolling (they refer to it as a ScrollPoint): http://shop.lenovo.com/us/itemdetails/3 ... 1FC42C9CA3

The Kinesis is TKL but it certainly doesn't save any space. ;) Depends on the space you are trying to save :) Is it larger than my laptop? Yes.

The one thing that I found the most useful for Dvorak + Kinesis + Vim is remapping down/up to the left hand arrow keys so they are directly below j/k. There are so many times I accidentally try j/k in a program that doesn't accept it, so then I can just move my fingers down a row and get the same ef...
