Dear Keyboard Community, prepare to make a monument to user "pandrew".. I will leave the announcement to him.. but after only one night of crazy remote programming and testing with me since he phisically doesn't even have the keyboard, he was able to make the impossible, finally possible!! I'm so ha...

Nah, I'd say forget it, many attempted and it was never possible so far.. i think something related to capacitive sensing missing in qmk... surely it's a wet dream of many here since qmk is the de facto standard.. do you know qmk already? I just started reading a bit about QMK. I actually think QMK...

I use this setup in many of my keyboards with Q/TMK I'm wondering if it was possible to port QMK to the xwhatsit controller. Just taking a look, it does seem like they support some atmega32u2 based keyboards. So I think it might be possible. I don't know much about QMK though, so it could take a wh...

Hi Andrew, yes correct, this is how dual action key's are supposed to work indeed. And if the time T is something quite low like 150ms max 200 it should not appear sluggish at all. I use this setup in many of my keyboards with Q/TMK (to implement "space-fn" which activates another FN layer when spac...

The previous explanation was very heavy on technical details, I also wrote out the differences in python-ish pseudocode to [...omissis...] Cheers, Andrei Cool Andrei!! Great contribution! Great Open Source!!! Now I'd be super curious to know your opinion on my secret wish: being able to implement i...

dual action keys would be just awesome (if you press a key you get for instance arrow up, but if you keep it pressed you get another layer like shift key)...

Any news on the problem I have? It's a bit of a bummer on an otherwise fantastic keyboard. Hope it's software and solvable but I don't know. I can confirm I see the same on mine. I was thinking to replace the xwhatsit with a commonsense from @dma if it would be able to do space-fn but so far, despi...

left original, right ellipse
(what if I win? )
But result is astonishing close!!

Is it possible to create a fifth layer?

I guess that for that you'd need to swap the controller with a commonsense one..

idem

Any news on this? It still does not work on latest version IMG_20200206_110122.jpg I asked for "Latest firmware, latest utility" Latest utility is 1.0.0.SIX relax my friend, usually it's a communication problem, you were focussing on latest trunk of the firmware, but I anyway can tell you that the d...

You could try redoing the space bar stab wire to make it bend really tight so it does not come out.. i hat to do it on mine.. but yeah it looks a bit tight there..

Btw are those nice blue keys dual role? (i.e. shift when hold and up when tapped) cause i'm trying to do the same..

IMG_20200206_110122.jpg * Delays: ALL delays 500ms at least, 1000 recommended. Done, but still no tap gets activated * Make sure your autorepeat delay is longer than any of the delays configured - or run Aqua Key Test in foreground. you mean autorepeat defined in my os? * Fn keys enabled on base la...

Unclear what you downloaded. Did you go to repo , clicked "download", copied config.h to the new location and built? If not - all bets are off. "Latest firmware, latest utility" is the name of the game. well yes I even created a new dir, cloned with git, and edited config.h so that it has correct s...

Also the sentence were you say "So you couldn't use space for Fn" does not sound reassuring.. How about "So, now those are fixed", 5 lines down the page? :D Hi DMA," you basically said you have fixed it but I downloaded again latest trunk that included the sentence "so, now those are fixed" but eve...

some more were sold..
some prices were updated..

up-dates

I have them, PM sent..

That thing is in trunk since June.

are you saying you fixed it? But I'm using latest fw.. will try again wait..

Also the sentence were you say "So you couldn't use space for Fn" does not sound reassuring..

Hi DMA! I've space-fn in firmware in all my keyboards a part from model Fs and beamsprings so it would be much better to have it in xwhatsit or commonsense and not need to think about os etc. I also do a lot of keyboard rotation. Do you plan to fix the tap macro in commonsense? I see it in the macro...

@ellipse: I had do change the wire stabilizer in the end to make it work -> I used one from a Model M I had and with that the space bar works well.. even the sound is decent now.. the one you shipped, not sure if it's only on mine most likely, was bent a little bit too early on the long side of the ...

yes the new springs do make a difference when comparing my other vintage model Fs: sound and feel is just superb.. think about it like just better and more consistent.. BTW I was trying to achieve SPACE-FN with Xwhatsit, is this something that is possible from firmware point of view, has anybody don...

Such a great board Ellipse! A real Jewel!
So far the only negative thing seems the spacebar, but will study first what can be done and report back then.
I plan a videoreview and meetup anyway.

Thanks!

WOW! that one without top casing.....

updated some other sold stuff..

up (some further sold)

UP (with updated prices and sold items.. we are close to year end..)

Sorry but now you got me too curious : where and what exactly would a mallet and a vice do to a model F curved back plate?? Is there a picture about this? Is the concept about amount of curve the plate has or?

Thanks in advance..

The font is specific to IBM 3270 type terminals (and maybe other IBM terminals) - it has a couple of unique looking characters especially the 6 and 9s. You can find it at https://github.com/rbanffy/3270font in various formats :) you are my hero! thanks!!! :)) yes the 9 in particular is my favourite...
