Another fact about typewriters : the hammer jam problem caused the QWERTY layout we use today. The most used letters were evenly spread out over the typewriter so the typist would slow down his typing speed. The weaker fingers were using the more frequent letters.

Cute! I like how it seems to simulate typebar interference.

In my opinion , the most annoying feature of the typewriter wasn't the fact that you had to type s l o w l y ( or else the hammers would stick ) but there was no backspace key. Using the simulator you immediately understand how ...

Not yet, but I will make it so
EDIT : I shortened the intro text. Have fun!

Hi!

It's been a looooong time since I've been active in the keyboard scene. One of my new year's resolutions was to change that and finish the biggest project I started but never got to finish.

Due to various circumstances, I had to let go of my love for computer interfaces , but like all true ...

Guys ( and Girls? )
You are free to mix things up to get the best optimal route. Just post the new preferred route here and I'll update the OP.

I'm in America starting mid December.

It should be at HAL.....

*Moved Scottc to end of UK list upon request*

That's actually a very nice way to show other people what those projects did given the right community.

I won't be able to physically help you with the re-publica project, since the distance is just too big, but I ( we ) could forge some kind of video where everything is being explained and ...

@Muirium : are you able to send the adapters to tybenz for beta testing?

Is there any update on this?

And we have our first Vouchee : gogusrl
Vouched for by DanielT
Subsequently added to the list.

Just like the Orion Syndicate.
In an act called "witnessing," Syndicate members would often vouch for the loyalty of any new recruit whom they brought into the organization. This was a method of ensuring trustworthiness amongst its members, as any Syndicate member who was found to have brought ...

The only way you can enter an already started list is by having someone vouch for you. This someone should not be new to the forum. ( I decide based on gut feeling )
So have someone PM me as your 'voucher' and I'll put you on the list.

You mean the victorinox? Don't know the model unfortunately, it has been with me for ages.....

Folding knifes?

I'm sorry, but creating your own keyboard is not within the available themes!

Who else will be participating in this massive virtual hackathon coming weekend?

I'll try filing some adapters for the optimum MX mount fit. I need to get callipers, though. Any recommendations?
I just got the cheapest one I could find and it works fine by me :

Thanx for all the feedback Beta-testers!
@scottc : I also think that in order to use these adapters, you'd need to outfit a whole keyboard due to the height increase of the cap.
@Murium : I noticed the very tight fit already when I tried them myself. I think the tolerances inside an MX cap differ ...

I sent 120 cherry to alps and 120 alps to cherry adapters to Scottc and Muirum ( so each one bag )

I suggest you try the adapters for a couple of weeks and then exchange them amongst the two of you. After that you can send them back to me.

Really looking forward to your test results/feedback!

@Beta testers : Packages sent!

I'm curious as to how you would implement it!

@Beta testers : Please PM me your postal address!

Muirium wrote: Sure. I bet there's a few keen to sign up along with me. How many samples have you got?

How many do you need ?

Anybody willing to do the Beta testing? Can't find the time to properly take this into the next step.

I can send via envelope....

It's on its way!

Finally found some time to do this...

I added some structure in the box :

2. GRAB bag -> if you like something, grab it.
3. SWAP bag -> take something out ...

I like the idea!
