Selling all those caps, they are unused, perfect condition. I'm selling inside Europe. - several F1-F12 caps - complete set of german -specific caps, from the international kit - 1.25u's: blank (grey), blank (blue), blank (red), blank (pink) - 1.5u's: blank (grey), - Several other pink blanks. - 1u...

The main difference is probably, that on Geekhackthere's more user traffic (posts per day), while DT is pretty ... calm. I didn't want to use the word "dead"

Was heisst hier Ideenklau? Zwei Farben aussuchen ist kein geistiges Werk, das kann meine Katze. Und grundsätzlich ist Ideenklau was gutes, so können gute Ideen erst verbreitet und weiterentwickelt werden. Und was die Farben betrifft, die meisten "echten Farben" werden auf die Dauer nervig, daher hat...

looking for blanks: 1.25u and 2.75. Please!

Not long ago, maybe 2 weeks, a pain in my wrist started, that I felt together with a numbness in my pinky. Im not sure if it is "Carpal tunnel syndrome", but it was something severe and I had no doubt I have to stop it immediately. The cause was a crippled hand-to-mouse position: my ellbow came from...

Ich denke 0.3€ pro MX switch geht noch, alles andre ist überteuert. (Hab grad 400 neue MX blues für 110€ inkl. Versand gekauft, und der Verkäufer war zufrieden! Es war zwar ein Privatmann, aber er hat trotzdem einen kleinen Gewinn gemacht.)

Vorsicht, zum Steuerbetrug aufzurufen ist kein Kavaliersdelikt! Die bloße Erwähnung reicht schon, daß man dich vierteilt. Natürlich sind das legitimierte Wegelagerer, aber wir müssen uns nunmal der Obrigkeit beugen und hier die Klappe halten. Alles andre mündlich beim Bier

It's not hard to design a typeface. Basically, the least draw them from scratch. It's common to take a typface as template, and change some tidbits according to your preference. (of course you don't tell, that you took a template!). However, we will never agree on one, because taste differs. What we...

I'm not talking about the space between glyphs (Kerning), but about width of a glyph's body (letter width).

I think most serifs doesn't make much sense, as they are too thin to be well visible on such a small and rough print, as keycap legends are ... And as we mostly want to have single letter prints, a slightler wider types would be reasonable.

Guys, I need some 1.25u blanks! Please PM me..

I'm not sure, but using TMK-macros with pasting Unicode-letters would avoid both disadvantages, isn't it? Is there an OS independent way of pasting unicode-letters? Practically, I don't think so. But in case your company runs Windows on all workplaces, then you could at least use your keyboard with...

@Halvar , you mentioned two disadvantages of using TMK to serve solkoseryl's intentions: First of all, the macros in the keyboard would be dependent on the keymap that is set in the OS ... Then there's the problem with modifiers when more than one key is pressed at the same time. Say you press down...

Danke für's Angebot, werd mal bisschen bei RS stöbern ...

Der bei Conrad ist leider über 4mm hoch. Bastele gerade an meiner custom, die auf auf slim getrimmt ist, daher hab ich bei Digikey diesen oben erwähnten extraflachen ABRACON crystal gefunden. Konkret hab ich zw. PCB und plate (also Oberseite PCB) 3.5mm Platz, und zw. PCB und bottom layer 2.9mm . Wo ...

Hallo Wodan. Brauche verschiedene etwas weniger gebräuchliche Bauteile, die - so wie ich das sehe - bei RS Components nicht im Angebot stehen, z. B. Hirose UX60-MB-5S8 (USB connector), E-Switch 612-200USP1T1A1M6RE (toggle switch), ABRACON ABLS7M2-16.000MHZ-D-2Y-T (crystal). Daher die Idee der Sammel...

Um Versandkosten zu sparen ...

Innovation? It's copying what already exists. Pretty lame, and probably it will be overpriced too. And I agree to what Muirium says.

Wer hat Interesse mitzumachen bei einer Sammelbestellung bei RS online http://de.rs-online.com Große Auswahl an elektronischen Bauteilen, und recht günstig. Es werden nur gewerbliche Kunden beliefert. Aber das schaffen wir schon. Ab 50€ Bestellwert ist das ganze versandkostenfrei, diesen Wert sollte...

Hi Flabbergast! Yes, I'im eyeing on the PIC chips, even though many users tell, that Microchip MCUs are awfully in terms of documentation and useability. However, if we get them to do the job, we won't complain, isn't it? More awful than freescale, can't be! :D After reading this leaflet From Microc...

I have a problem to mass search for "can do USB well without crystal", since mass seach tools don't include that criterium. So, my question is, which MCU .. .. can do USB without crystal .. can handle 5v .. comes with a bootloader Any ideas? For example, no LPC or STM32 can handle 5v without externa...

What are -- according to your opinions -- the upmost criteria for a microcontroller of a custom built keyboard? (_) cheap (_) can handle 5v (from USB), by internal voltage regulator (_) comes with bootloader, ie. no programmer necessary (_) works without crystal (_) at least ..(insert number) I/O pi...

Also Mischung aus Tüftler und Macker? Der "Tüftler" im Deutschen ist ja eher brav, zurückhaltend konnotiert.

Here the german part of the international keyset, I dont need twice (i have those keys twice)

Wo du gerade Subkultur erwähnt, da fällt mir ein, dass mit dem Wort "maker" wohl auch "makerspace" etwas zu tun hat. Einen "makerspace" gibt gibt es hier nur sehr vereinzelt, kennt man eigentlich kaum in Deutschland. Könnte man vielleicht mit "Tüftler-Werkstatt offen für alle" umschreiben? Wenn es i...

Ja, verstehe. Zu dem Bild von Muirium: ich glaube den wirst du nie auf der Straße treffen, weil das aus einem Film ist *g*

Im Wörterbuch steht "Hersteller, Fabrikant", aber ich verstehe es auf Geekhack eher im Sinne von "Bastler" oder "DIY-Person", kann das sein?

To kern F and T is basics. And this shows that SP seems to not care about Kerning, not even about the basics. Look how unprofessional this company is. It is a tragedy. The only consequence can be to not buy from them anymore! At least this is my decision.

Ray, well, the thing is, that a german who changes over to US-ANSI layout loses the dedicated keys Ä Ü Ö ß which he was accustomed to. So he could use US-international keymapping to get access to these characters. However, and that was my argument, this is not that satisfying for him, since US-Inter...

@Nuum OK, I see, US-international keymapping is determined that way. However, it is made to serve everyone, and "serve everyone and you satisfy noone". So for Germans, Swedes, Italians etc. this US-international has downsides in not beeing as intuitive or efficient as it could be.
