Sorry, I have overlooked that! ^^

Found this news article about the Matias Quiet Pro . The most interesting information is at the end of the article: "Interestingly, the company says it is also planning to sell the new switches it's developed to other companies for use in their own keyboards, and even to hobbyists interested in goin...

Was my packet one of the last ones? Still received nothing...

Yes, I did! =) I allways try to find NIB boards, because these give the only really qualified information about a board.

I like the stabilizers of this board, because they are mounted on the backside of the thick steel plate. Most stabs I've seen before are mounted on the front side.

What's the green and white stuff under that modifier? The keyboard has doubleshot keycaps and the Alt modifier is green on beige, so you see the green plastic in the beige cap. What I find interesting is that this keyboard uses the SDL connector like a Model M...I wonder if the cable would work on ...

Hey there, I found a really nice Keyboard and wanted to show it to you. It is a 22 year old NIB (just once disassembled for the fotos) Compaq Enhanced Keyboard International. But let's talk later, here are the photos: http://tarkoon.tyrael.de/pictures/compaq/1-400.jpg http://tarkoon.tyrael.de/pictur...

I would love it, if it were at least snails like this one:

Much better now, thanks!
Before the Update 'Latest --> Participated' didn't work - now it does perfectly!

I ordered three versions of plates (incl. ISO), three PCBs and many different switches.
When I am sure which combination is my favorit I will sell the other ones.

So plates, PCBs and stabs should reach 7bit about next week?
@7bit: How long do you think you need for sorting, packing and shipping?

Do you have any idea how much longer it will be until we can hold all our ordered phantom parts in our hands? An estimation would be really great!

I think we can exchange our experience with this mod afterwards... (less than 30km between our homes)
Do you plan to build it incl. a casemod to TKL or just as skeleton board?

I started building a board like the one on CeeSAs last picture. It will be a Cherry TKL with full NKRO and detachable PS/2 cable based on a G80-1501HAD. PCB is cut and I know where I have to add some wires, but I am in the USA for the next three weeks for a holiday trip, so I will go on with it afte...

And gone!

I decided that this Numpad belongs in the hands of one of the switch collectors and not in mine.
So if someone is interested to add this switch to his collection, I'll sell this Numpad for cheap.
So, what do you think about 15€ incl. worldwide shipping?

If the LTRACK was cheaper... =(

Really beautifull!!! I think I will take two if the conclusion 'fits Filco TKL => fits Phantom' is correct...
What do you think?

Nr.1 fixed, ok, but let's go on: "four more" ???
Fix: (http://www.cherrycorp.com/english/switches/key/mx.htm) = "two more"

Ah, ok! =) I tried around now. 1) I change 1 key 2) I do an UPDATE 3) keys are mixed up completely 4) I do some AUTODETECT and LOAD CONTENT FROM KEYBOARD (some end with "cannot communicate with slave...") 5) all keys work as programmed 6) close and restart ChangeMe 7) keys are mixed up again And it ...

Do you use a converter or a native serial port?

If I Change something and press Update all keys get mixed up.
Not in ChangeMe, but on the keyboard itself.
Changing one key is enough...

Sorry, of course I meant Update&Verify, not Upload&Verify...

I hate this stuff... Now I can programm the 4x8, but if I programm the 16x8 all keys are somewhere else than defineD... EDIT: Upload&Verify four times solved it! crazy behaving thing... EDIT: This thing drives me crazy!!! Each time I load the configuration from the keyboard, it shows me something di...

Ok, I did a "clear module" and now it works! =)
But that did not work, before I activated the enhanced mode and loaded the config from the keyboard.
So thanks for that hint!!!

When I load the config the 032A looks weird!
And when I change these double size keys there stay empty 1x1 slots.
And the key presses do other results as the config shows!
Are there different kind of bus cables? I changed some while cleaning.

When I use autodetect it finds the 4x8, but it shows no configuration and I can't programm it...
It finds the components as I copied it from the INFO data.

I have some Tipros now too, but have some problems with them.
First I am going to read this thread, but afterwards I am sure I will have some questions left... =)

The 4x8 has no own controller, it is just attached to the bus with this small cable...
Some keys do result in a key stroke, but I can't change anything...

That's the INFO data about the keyboard... the TM-KMX-032A shows as ??.??.??
