you can have my mx518 if you want?

What would your cables have to offer compared to the original?

Update on the mousepad thing: ordered a artisan mousepad today, will see how that one works once it arrives.

Title says it all ;)

Just got my g303 today. After being a long time WMO user I must say that this is my new favorite mouse. Was using the good ol' mx518 for a while now since my last WMO broke, and shipping rates to norway have been rather bad lately. The mx518 made my hands hurt after long quake2 ...

This is awesome!

Not listening, covering :p Will be interesting to see if my skills are great enough.

What keyboard is this? And is your monitor opened or is this something other above the screen?

It's some crappy logitech keyboard I found in the garbage :oops: And yeah, I was supposed to debezel my monitor, but it didn't work out so now the display itself is no longer held together by the ...

My battlestation used to look good.. used to..

Good comparison!
The gerkonic switch more louder than the Honeywell even they are linear.
Did you have more disassemble photo of the switch?

I'm without a camera atm but I will post pictures of further assembly once i can get my hands on a camera.

Nice! Haven't seen one of those BUD keypads in ...

Sorry for the bad quality of this info-post. I got inspired by seeing HaaTa's amazing dedication and decided to try to do a little writeup meself. I apologize for any disinformation.

Sometimes last year I ordered 3 copies of this keyboard on ebay. IIRC HaaTa also bought one. I have taken a few ...

BLACK MAGES!

Finally, i'm back! I've been having a bunch of personal problems, but now they're all sorted out.

Pyro: It will not be a steno board, it ill be a chording board, as in key+key = key.

PJE: Nice to see that someone else is also taking a different approach to the chording technology, also; I would ...

As always, Phyrne: Nice setup!

Good news! The switches are present in my house.
And i've decided to name it Englboard. Any respectable geek should understand the meaning behind this name. R.I.P Douglas!

Now, here's the to-do list:
-Make a case for the switches.
-Come up with something that can act as keys.
-Program the teensy ...

Wall behind the camera prevents a single photo of both.

Wow, that's beautiful. However, are those speakers your main ones?

*Fingers crossed*
Hope the switches will arrive this week.

Btw, is there any option to write the drivers in lisp? The teensy seems nice but I don't like the c-like languages.

All of my dream hardware at one place. Lisp machine and connection machine.

Muirium wrote:The DodoHand? I must read up on that one.

Anyway, there's so many variables at play in radical ergo design that every attempt is worth documenting exactly because it will be different.

Yes. I plan to write a thesis styled paper on this creation and the reason for the design.

Right, I get where you're going now. This could be quite intriguing.

The DataHand is an epic design in many ways. Its magnetic switches are one of the most interesting things about it. Keep us appraised with how you go about a similar layout using microswitches. Could be the blueprint for the ...

So, how do you actuate them? Where are the caps?

I am planning to use curved plastic pieces instead of keycaps(imagine only having the "letter" part of a keycap.), and sticking them onto the microswitches. The rest of the design is quite similar to the datahand.
My next problem is wether to use ...

Update: I've ordered 30 of the microswitches.

Don't worry. I'm familiar with the mx series.


Oops, my bad!

So you're after something with the short sharp feel of microswitches, eh. The last time I heard anyone mention that it was 7bit joking about the ever more legendary qHack:

http://deskthority.net/keyboards-f2/the-surprisebag-worldwide ...

Interesting. I have literally never heard of that switch. It's not something I've seen in the keyboarding world.

The go to switch for custom keyboards is Cherry MX. Because of availability (7bit has a group buy on this forum, for 54 Euro cents a switch), immense choice of caps, and the fact there ...

Well, what can one say? I got struck by RSI, researched keyboards and now I want to create a built-to-fit alternative to the 'flatboard'. Same old story.

IMHO there's two unfixable issues with the 'flatboard'.
1. Reaching distance.
2. Too many damn keys for one hand.

I first researched the ...

Could you make my dream come true? Post a picture of a computer setup featuring the space cadet? I've always dreamed of seeing that.

No! Nixie tube calculators are awesome!

congrats on making me jelly.

You dont understand how DT works, that much is obvious by your last comment. We like to keep things keyboard related here, especially in the pictures section. If anything, this belongs in the off-topic, just as the "post your pets" thread is on GH.

First, the post your pets is in the media ...

Well, it was my take at the "post your pet" thread on gh. and it has a clack.
I'l say; et's ask the mods. They can feel free to remove it if they feel it's too not-keyboard-related.
