Re: Impossible? Light mouse with hyperscroll for left hand…
I think "Hyperscroll" could be a trademark belonging to Logitech. It may be better to say "free-spinning wheel".

Re: CNC Magic:TRUE Integrated shell (gapless sheel) Glitter65 r1
This is a drawer-type structure that allows the player to finish assembling the liner before the front sequence, and then finally just push the tray into the space capsule and you’re done. Isn’t it very simple and even a bit “novelty”? Maybe I'm too old and tired, but I didn't understand a single w...

Re: 327x plastic latch plastic type?
A metal part can get powder coated. It gets hooked up to an electric charge and the powder gets attracted to the charge. Then the part gets baked to partially melt the powder so that it fuses together.

Re: Generic-ify a gaming keyboard?
My guess is that the keyboard in question speaks a standards-compliant HID protocol, but one which supports NKRO. And then there are additional virtual devices to support media keys and programmability. I'm not sure that Hasu's USB-to-USB converter actually supports keyboards that are NKRO over USB,...

Re: HHKB Lite 2 launch date is wrong the wiki
It does happen sometimes that stores get shipments of a product in advance so that they'll have it available at the launch date, but then start selling it before they are supposed to.
Could that have been the case here?

Re: Does anyone know what "profile" the keycaps are on Matias keyboards?
I looked up their Keycaps thread in their vendor forum on Geekhack, where he posted:
> Ours are similar to OEM profile but thicker, and with better spacebars.
BTW, there were lots of promises of PBT keycaps in that thread, but many delays. Last update was about a year ago.

Re: Ploopy Classic Trackball
There are ways to smoothen 3D prints though. If it is ABS, you could wipe with some acetone. You could use progressively finer sandpaper.
Or you could spend some time with both sandpaper and filler-primer to get a perfect surface that you'd then paint. Although paint wears off sooner or later.

The wheels are tilted, so that one touches the surface vertically and the other horizontally. The video shows it quite well. It is like Engelbart's original mechanism, only lower-profile. The problem is that the horizontal wheel resist vertical motion and vice versa, giving the mouse a different cen...
