the only macro I currently have is the [C] key on the numpad, which runs ctrl+a backspace. the code key currently does nothing, but I'll write some custom firmware code that includes a built-in calculator that I'll be able to use, toggled on and off by that key. the keys on the left side block are ...

my F122 arrived safely just earlier today, but with some minor easily fixable damage (bent pins on solenoid driver) to the accessories.
I took the inner assembly apart and modified the board by putting in basically as many flippers as I humanly could, aside from not splitting the enter key. put it ...

you do get tracking for international orders at least, though apparently asendia is a bit bad with their tracking. mine has been sitting as "shipment information received" since last wednesday

I suppose you could stick the relegendables on there that you can get from the store

it's nice that chyros got a mopar-style board to review since it has the same case color as the F122 I ordered, so this is a good comparison. I'm also getting the solenoid with it, and based on this video, I won't be disappointed when it arrives...

once the B122 project is done, it would be pretty ...

Also, has anyone been able to get the pandrew utility to work on Linux? I've managed to build it (tried both hidapi variants), and it doesn't detect my keyboard, even when run as root.

EDIT: FWIW, Vial detects my keyboard just fine (even as a non-root user).


just to make sure; there are two ...

F122 cases are ready for production but the inner assemblies aren't IIRC, so shipping is a bit further away still

I went from full-size keyboards to a TKL board and then right back to full-size, before I started binging chyrosran22's videos and finding out that massive keyboards tickle my brain. When the F122 is done and I get mine, I'll even have function layers to play with.

the biggest reason I like >100 ...

There is also a terrific new utility that Rico has created (screenshot below)

I'm assuming that program will be made available somewhere later? I can't find it currently in either the qmk/vial firmware tree nor in Rico's own repository on github.

If you're talking about the hole being slightly elongated height-wise, that's probably because of the case gap. I would keep it there since it allows for some play between the case halves (if needed in the first place) without squishing the cable - you might be able to hide it with some kind of ...

If nothing else beyond the tape was broken by the screw, you might be able to fix it again by dismounting the solenoid from the keyboard and patching the broken area with electric insulating tape. This is based on the assumption that the blue tape is there as insulation to prevent the coil from ...

qmk itself has recently gone through a refactor which largely upends the file structure used for firmware. from what I understand, there's an ongoing effort to port the current qmk firmware to the new structure.
I personally don't know much more than that about it, as it's difficult to experiment ...

Unicomp sells their brilliant white keycaps separately as well, just in case. I know ellipse's caps are probably of higher quality though

This made me want to look up the power differences between USB 2.0 and 3.0, and apparently USB 3.0 can supply 900mA of current in superspeed mode while USB 2.0 doesn't have superspeed and can supply 500mA. Maybe this is a factor?

I made a sort of weird custom VIAL layout for the F122. I called it the industrial F130, since that's pretty much what I've decided to do with mine when it arrives.

I defined the matrix positions for the layout based on the picture of the PCB sent here by Ellipse a while ago when they announced the ...

Ellipse: On Linux, you can pretty reliably use the actual F13-24 keycodes as defined by the USB HID usage tables spec in any program in my experience. If the default keymap won't use those codes, maybe there could be a keymap file included in the firmware zip archive that does, when the time comes ...

I personally plan to put as many keys on my F122 as possible when it ships. I'm always out of keys for modded minecraft modpacks... I am sort of relying on the leyden jar controller being used and modified to add two more matrix columns though.

I looked at wcass/wcass.h, and I can say with confidence that this isn't valid ...

But I want to get some more technical answers/guidance - I cannot find a consolidated up to date documentation as to what it means setting the keyboard up to work with a modern Mac/Ventura.


I'm not a mac user and thus can't help further than this, but I'd like to add to sedevidi's answer that ...

Opening the developer tools on that single page just crashed my computer after 30MB+ downloads, 42 JS errors, 41 seconds displayed and a memory hog after a few minutes...


Now that you say that, I noticed my CPU going to 100% and my memory usage climbing to like 4 gigabytes for that tab when I ...

Does anyone have feedback on specific changes to improve the project web site? I use wordpress and woocommerce so there are limitations on what is possible. Feel free to PM me if you'd prefer.

Off the top of my head, I don't have more than one minor style fix to contribute, but when viewing an ...

One way to add them is to change the two right side ground holes to 2 columns as shown in the attachment

Where would those GND holes go? I do see other square holes in the PCB next to the rows and columns but I'm not sure which ones, if any, are GND instead of VCC.
If there is an existing set of ...

Nice! extra keys are always appreciated, and with this I can emulate the terminal keypad more accurately, 'cause I was a very smart cookie and ordered the first aid kit along with the extra keycaps. I'll need to look into the RP2040 MCU on the leyden jar controller, since I'm only familiar with ...
