Yes, there is a convex 2u in the SBS lineup

It looks like the edges are not entirely clean. Is that how they're supposed to be? Also, is the top rounded in more than one direction?

Would it be possible for a Topre-style convex numeric keypad "0" keycap to be added to SBS?

If anyone's having trouble seeing the video, just go straight to the file here.

So does that mean you were able to get convex thumb keycaps made for the Planck?

Hopefully it is clear enough. If not then you can try the full view.

I took a look at your keyboard and I gotta say that looks super comfortable to use!

Having different heights for the thumb keycaps is a really interesting idea.

Well if you think about it the fingers need to curl more to reach the space bar row than they do to reach the bottom row. So there's no sense in making the keycaps on the space bar row are less angled than the keycaps on the bottom row. Well if you think about it, what the fingers do is highly depe...

Does that mean the whole kit will be flat, or that it will have different profiles on the same row?

Now I see that there are two versions of the space bar, and yes, I agree that the flat one is better. But my question still applies for the other keycaps. Because some people like symmetry? There was some early discussion about whether the bottom row should be angled or flat, and Matt3o decided to ...

Doesn't that mean that an ErgoDox kit won't be possible?

What's the rationale behind the flat bottom row? Why would I want to use that over the angled one? The angled bottom row in this profile will be even taller and steeper than OEM. So for those who, like me, hit the space bar with the side of our thumbs, the impact will be right on that sharp corner....

Had another thought (which if implemented obviously means a lot more work for you, rsbseb, lol): Buckling spring keycaps are all the same profile, just on a curved plate. What about the possibility of different profile keycaps for different rows? This would of course be annoying because you can't f...

Bars are the way to go. Homing keys should interfere with typing as little as possible.

I'm liking the thought of an all convex bottom row, evocative of the old beamspring layouts. The nice thing is that by having the molds for both versions, we could choose whether to go convex or concave for the modifiers. A couple of years ago I had a few people begging me to do a convex bottom row...

What happens if a sponsor prize goes unclaimed?

How does one vote, and it is possible to vote in more than one category?

Fascinating.

The SP's data sheet says that they exist and I am wondering if anyone has ever seen them.

Does anyone know which ErgoDox kits will be produced first?

@sphinx Does your keyboard register keystrokes?

@Kanzakisol It appears that the three diodes towards the bottom of your image are backwards. The black stripe on each diode marks the side into which current cannot enter. Why did you use them in the first place, though? You don't need them because you have one row.

@Kanzakisol @flabbergast never replied to any of your comments. Are you replying to my comment?

@Kanzakisol The function in led.c is trying to use pin B2. You have to either use to a different pin or comment out everything in that function.

Thanks, @flabbergast. That's what I suspected. I have one more question. Why is PORTx modified when rows are selected and unselected? Isn't it enough just to modify DDRx?

After one row is selected, why are all the rows unselected afterwards? Isn't it only necessary to unselect the one that was selected?
