Only experience i have is with the Space Pilot Pro which worked great and felt real good quality to me.... Awesome in 3D development environments but pretty much useless for anything else.

Razer eXactMat - speed side

And i also have one of those tiny mice btw, man those are awefull

Those could be anything from indeed the real thing (that probably did not pass QC or something) to cheaply made budget copies. No easy way to tell really. The only guarantee to get the real deal, new, with warranty, is to buy from a official sales rep. OEM boxing could be the case if these mice for ...

I always steal those 10mm half hemispherical rubber feet that come under various appliances (keyboards, modems, routers, audio equipment) whenever i see those kind of thing being discarded. You could probably buy those new somewhere, they are awesome! Also, you can check IKEA... over here they have ...

Looks like a relative simple board without the diodes and stuff.... If i were you id number all the pins on the controller (with a little marker right on the pcb) I would then (with the multi-meter set to measure continuity aka 'diode' ) measure to what two controller pins every switch is connected ...

Have you opened the mouse up yet to see if its not just really dirty with some small debris stuck against the wheel or something?

Whoa, you telling me they traded in the plastered wooden houses for plastic ones? That's a definite improvement and it kinda makes sense somehow....

iMod.. Did you do it yourself or send it to redwine or whatever their name is ? I'm thinking that having the line-level signal running in real cables instead of traces on the print-board improves thing measurably and audibly ? Also, you are running RockBox, right ? Have you tried the new Meir-cross...

Bigger membrane = better bass, also all in-ears that I had, no matter how expensive they where, died because of a broken cable. Grab the Headphones. The magic word here is user replaceable cable ;) In the end it all comes down to taste i guess. Both the over ear and in ear have pros and cons and in...

Thunderbolt. You can send pretty much anything over it. eh, thunderbolt cables arn't as flexiable and most devices that use usb don't need that kind of transfer speed, i think most things will go USB and lightpeak/thunderbolt will be mostly for just storage, monitors and maybe gaming mice ? May i a...

Easy, magic!

Unfortunately what 'standard' will actually come next as the new big thing will depend on marketing and bureaucracy and not whats technically superior..... but it will probably be some form of PoW (power over wireless technology).

Is it difficult to swap mx switches? i was wondering if its the same regarding alps, i have an old board with complicated alps and one or two might be in the need for a swap, but i havent done anything before, so i dont know how to start... PCB mounted MXes are dead easy to swap, plate mounted are ...

Oooooh i want a gas-powered laptop.. Hmm, maybe i could hackjob a model airplane engine to a dynamo of sorts that would be awesome!!

Hmyeah, the 'collapsing' key feel (not really being able to press it halfway) would indicate domes.. but then again rubber domes are not really loud in general. However if you hit hard enough any button will make a noise (if you hit it really hard it will only do so once tho).

Unfortunately being heavy nor being expensive are a good indication for it being a mechanical board especially when talking about wireless stuff (every cow is an animal, not every animal is a cow comes to mind). Usually when someone designs a wireless board they keep in mind that the board might act...

Did you try to measure how much current is actually going to the leds? If the current doesn't change when adding resistors you're obviously doing something not completely right ;) (or your eyes could be deceiving you, the human eye is pretty bad at rating brightness... it is however pretty good at c...

If you grab a poker you can always get POM or PBT caps to try later on, sets for pokers are relatively easy to come by.

HHKB!

Well as long as everything works i dont think you could call it a defect (even if its not supposed to happen). If you are really bothered by it you can always just desolder the led that annoys you (or put a sticker over it lol).

Nomnomnom... RaspBMC. I wanna try that one toooo but my pi still hasn't shipped.

Table code seems disabled, ask the admins.

Nice wallpaper (and i dont mean on you monitor)... also, clean your window blinds or just get some new ones while youre at it

Love the cyberpower systems, they make some lovely cases!

Erm..... eew? Im pretty sure that will make the ping go away but wont i make your board all sticky?

Get three completely different boards, swap between em every week. Im not a doctor, but the 'r' in RSI stands for repetitive right? So whatever type of board and/or switch you choose can cause this (or keep it up) simply because you keep doing the same motion over and over again. Three different boa...

We just call em rats with fluffy tails.....

Nope, it WAS a European disease but given that the US is running roughly 600 years behind whats happening in Europe with everything it seems about right that they start to get this about now....

Ooooooh that looks like a great board! Nice picture as well!

Wow! Thanks for that link. I would still prefer a dongle that could convert ANY USB keyboard to Bluetooth. Im pretty sure such a device does not exist.... Simply because USB is a bit of a resource-hog it would take some serious hardware and batteries to do this. Im not familiar with hasu's HHKBt bu...

Been looking into this myself and theres quite a few possibilities if you would like to make serial keyboards work over bluetooth or design a keyboard around a bluetooth module from the start, but 'converting' USB over bluetooth really adds unwanted complexities to the mix especially if you want the...
