East Asian input is software based. The scan codes are mostly the same and in case of JIS, you have extra keys that emit scan code. Karabiner names the JIS extra keys JIS_* so you can take a look at its scan code definitions

(Fun fact: Chinese people use US-ANSI keyboards)

If your keyboard is under warranty, RMA it. If not, you'll have to replace switches

My experience with football (the sport you play with feet and ball)
  • Opportunity to not giving a fuck (I always root for the team whose fans make less noise when winning)
  • I don't need a particular reason to get drunk
  • There are more interesting things to watch involving 22 men

I can't be bothered to buy bottled beverages and I find most soft drinks too sweet, so I usually drink tap water.

As someone who is working in the terminal on a daily basis, I really appreciate that Mac OS has that Command key for keyboard shortcuts.

If you're desperate for additional IO pins, you can also solder to the resistor of the LEDs at the bottom (with the micro USB connector at the top). They're PB0 and PD5. They'd be a lot easier to solder onto than those QFN pads…

Right handed, usually with right thumb. My left thumb's primary responsibility is to hit "Command" (i.e. the modifier next to the space bar which you need a lot when you work on a Mac) and "Alt" (to enter umlauts and moving the cursor word-wise).

Also, re: bridging the pins, can I do that while the switch is still in? I thought Cherry MX switches sent the signal by breaking the connection rather than making it - or am I making this up? You can do this with the switch soldered in. Cherry MX are normally open, i.e. It makes contact when you p...
