Why is anything unfair? I specifically recorded that keyboard to compare PCB mount with plate mount.
What I was trying to say is that it's not accurate to compare the noise of MX Clear on a G80 between any other switch mounted on a plate. Sorry to have expressed myself so badly :oops: In your ...

Nice work Daniel ! :o

I confirm from my tests that the Matias quiet are really quiet because of the landing and "uping" pads in this design.

To have a G80-3000 too, it's a loud keyboard even with PBT caps : the plastic case should act like a resonance chamber. It's not fair to compare since plate ...

Everytime I boot up my pc I have to use another keyboard since my cpu fan boots up with little speed and I need to press f1. My tipro isn't recognized at that point. So that is quite annoying.

Some keyboard have a recognition problem during POST. I experienced that on some computers and keyboards ...

Where I'm from, goods manufactured in the US are usually (not always!) considered crap quality, as if the motto were "Cheat as much as possible, keep costs down!". So I'm actually not surprised at all. :mrgreen:
That remembers me a 30Rock episode with a Made In USA coach : At least they have self ...

Whenever I picture what the people at SP must look like, it looks like The Office.
Never saw this serie yet, I add it to my list. Thx fellow bépoète ;)

Well you said it yourself: SP might not be perfectly competent at everything they do:

It's good ...

I have to check up what I keep and make some photographies too. My previous picture is not updated at all (a lot of stuffs added) but it should gives you a sample.

Nice synergy folks ! You have keen eyes :)

As I was able to see, Melissa does a great job in customer service but there really is a problem inside SP factory. How could they ever made the same mistakes over and over again ?
It looks like they lacks at least a person managing quality control before ...

Thanks µ
"The land of the living" that's so appropriate. I don't know how I can be such an hermit sometimes, even on the Web.

Hi guys I'm finally back.
I have no real excuse for this too long absence, just the busy life, breakdown, fear/procrastinating/laziness and a bit of other shitty parameters that keeps me off the keyboard community.
I take this trade back, starting with pm for everyone who made reservation ...

Yes, Kensington produces low quality build. I just had to change the microswitch under the left button of my two-years-old Orbit (with the annoying scroll ring which moves freely)
The funny thing is that I use it left-handed since a year so my left button is the right click and not so much used ...

Yes for some kind of games, trackball is a bit hard to use but it's not impossible.
I use it for turn based, action platform, even some first person view as FPS or Dogfight. IMHO It's less precise than a mouse and it's more suitable for reflexion games than action.
If you play RTS, you should ...

as soon as you notify them of the hiccups.
I confirm, it's what Mrs Petersen told me too.
BTW Melissa really does a nice job ( "as always" I have to say) If all companies handles communication like that, the world will be way better :)

Yes, it sounds like fanboy but really she truly is a ...

I almost forgot to order, right on time

I updated the picture : More and more funky colours



Since I have a lot of set pledged by the offcentered legends, I'm waiting for replacements. So please be patient

I know
The craziest thing is that the keyboard itself worth way less than the set of caps

Tipro time ! with a strange bépo layout and crazy thumb modifiers (I forgot to suggest a 1u Shift for the Pro Modifier, my bad)

and my modded g80-3000 (crazy keyboard again) with this lovely cyrillic set :

Medowy : I have some spare keys but only a part of the modifiers and no alphabetic keys except deepdished F and J


updated picture (because I forgot… ) :

Wow, lots of great news here !

If you need some small design to try your devices, I still have mine (two halves mirrored) but I really need to test an option in the design with a modular plate to be sure so it should start with an acrylic plate.

Speaking of beep, if you disable it in changeme it occurs only when the rollover is over its point of keystrokes (should be 4KRO boards) and that depends on every board : I have one which beeps frequently, the other very rarely.

If you have solder skills, you can buy a MID and add a Teensy into it ...

What I use (GUI should change if I finally try i3 Windows Manager)

Graphism :
Gimp
Inkscape
Krita, created for digital painting but has more features than Gimp (like native CMJK support)
Scribus, more advanced for printing document than LibreOffice Writer despite the difficulty to import ...

SA Commando profile isn't that bad with numrow and F-row in R2 and R1 (respectively) It's easier to reach those row than in a full R3 board.
The classic SA row profile is greater but costly and it doesn't allow to switch to dvorak or colemak without an extra kit : ergonomical profile v/s ergonomical ...

Robin_m spread the news into bépo mailing list, some errors remains but it seems to be hard to fix quickly :/

Back in those days, home row was indeed the bottom row on a Blick! Perhaps they were thinking about mechanical leverage, as this was the hardware in question:

During a discussion on bepo forum about the evolution ...

Vierax: Thanks for the push towards a multilingual tool. Probably I should create a new site (and github repository) specific to this project, so others can more easily contribute.

The main obstacle to adding non-English layouts right now is that I don't have support for more than 2 layers. I will ...

Perfectly received, nice packing (seems to be the original, isn't it ?)
The 1 and 2 black on white keys are not MX mount but it doesn't matter because the green blank 2u in #3 (backspace) is not a classic 3mounts but a POS with an extra centered mount

Thanks Ralegh

Nice initiative !
To sort layouts, you can add a language selection box for German requests (and others to come).
Instead of making a lot of categories, you can just add a few lines about the layout selected. It should avoid an infinite list.

I see that tool very useful for the promotion of all ...

Sorry, I think it wasn't mentioned in the GH thread that I read before and I'm a bit tired

But I knew you knew, you are a Browncoat after all

I really enjoy the preview of the cyrillic and the nerdom despite the Blue Sun colour more cyan than ultramarine (but I'm sure you noticed that too and already want to fix that )

There is already kbdfr on the #3 but tell me, I'll keep you what we don't need both

I don't want the whole set, only blanks and the green key with an arrow
