Got my Kishaver today (finally!). So far so good, only two things I'm seeing:

1) Enter gets stuck if a stabilizer is used (yes, used the right kind)

2) This thing would really shine if it had feet!

Sent you a PM about one of these.

I know that we shouldn't ask when a particular order is going to be shipped, but rough stats like X mailed/Y to go/Z average per month could really help at least have a ballpark estimate. So that for example I can reasonably expect that my bet of getting mine in 2021 is lost or that there's a hope.

Got a question to those who got their keyboards in the EU:

1) did the shipping notifications with tracking numbers come from Ellipse himself, postal/courier service, or both?
2) what service handled shipping? Your state post, or DHL/Fedex/UPC/you name it?

Everyone seems very familiar with import duties.

I lost my import duty virginity back in 2013 when I had bought a Unicomp keyboard. Shipping cost was the same as the keyboard itself, and the VAT had been calculated for the total.

Many of you probably know that Sun keyboards have this block of keys on their left, where they’ve got dedicated keys for undo/redo, cut/copy/paste et cetera. These even have keycodes in the USB HID standard. (And a real Compose key. Man, but I dream of wiring up a mechanical Sun-style keyboard one d...

You can see it however the fuck you want lad, the fact is I've seen NIB SSK's live on ebay for a maximum of $600. Some of these had even been opened up and bolt modded to ensure they pretty much last forever. Then what's the problem to go and buy them there? Listen bub, you keep bitching here and y...

It's not a beamspring one, but a model F. The one with big blue switch (viewtopic.php?t=14356)

I have a question regarding the 0.9.2 firmware: is it any good for a xwhatsit controller that is attached to an IBM 3178 keyboard (with 16x8 matrix), or is it specific to this Model F? I have one which starts double registering some keys and not register others after some time of use (at first, twea...

How much do you ask for it and do you ship to EU?

Nope, tried that too. Also tried mapping to F20/F21 which emit 0x6F and 0x70 (found here: https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/iss ... -279113313), but they mute/unmute mic and turn the touchpad off, respectively.

Well, a Linux machine recognizes them when pressed on a Matias keyboard (the Mac variant) just fine.

The scancodes sent are (showkey -s):

• Brightness up: 0xe0 0x4c on press, 0xe0 0xcc on release
• Brightness down: 0xe0 0x54 on press, 0xe0 0xd4 on release

I'm kind of late to this party, but I hope someone has an answer: how does one remap keys to be those brightness up/down keys you find on Macbooks? I googled in vain, and those for sure are not F14 and F15, but a thing of their own. I don't see them on the list of recognized key names, can anyone he...

Turned out the middle sheet was there all the time, it just stuck so well that I couldn't tell it apart from the other sheet.
So, well, I think the new membrane is going to be cheaper on me.

I'm not in the US.

It was used (keycap wear) and filthy (storage). Anyway, after poking Phosphorglow and Unicomp (to no avail) I ended up contacting a local shop that makes industrial flexible keyboard, and they can make a replica membrane for me. Probably will send it to them the next week. The membrane was intact be...

How it isolates the traces, then? Some sort of coating over traces? Where I have read about M's membranes, they always mentioned 3 layers.

I have bought a Model M 122-key keyboard that turned out to be dead. The controller didn't send anything to a Soarer's converter when I shorted rows and columns, and the membrane was quite oxidised. While until yesterday I had some doubts if the membrane itself is damaged, now my doubts are no more ...
