Ok, problems. No function keys, and no way to right-click on something. And 6 taps to get to > is not going to cut it for me. Two-finger tap? A long tap? It seems to me one of the two should act as a right-click. Also, this forum software uses [ and ] in its pseudo-HTML, instead of < and >, though ...

Look what I just prepared from our warehouse, ready to be send to the first person on the list on June 1st :mrgreen: http://i60.tinypic.com/2gt2bzs.jpg Assuming the North American tour ever gets under way, be aware that my comparison/review will not be to a mechanical keyboard like most of the user...

What am I missing here?

The moose, of course.

I was in Dallas yesterday, left just as the storms were coming in. It is a Cherry G80 with brown switches, rather a nice feel. Brand new, from the scrap pile. Strange what gets recycled! If you still need more programmable keys, you could sacrifice one of the G86 boards you have laying around and d...

I am reminded quite a bit of this, which if you haven't heard before, you should.

I wouldn't recomend you use a Dremel. With that you can't maintain a square hole and it's harder to make it precise. I would just bite it and use a file. When making handmade flutes, I use a combination technique on the headjoint, which is by far the most critical hole. For one thing, it's not roun...

Now I'll just have to find a PS/2 to USB converter for it, or select a motherboard for my next computer (later this summer, current one is 7-8 years old) with a PS/2 connector. Any advice on converters? Something active like a Blue Cube is probably overkill, but it's not like they're expensive, and...

This is a Dremel 3000 I've borrowed. If you're looking to get one for yourself after returning that one, you might want to look at "WEN" - I got one myself after seeing that most buyers have been really happy with it, and I am too. Chinese, yes, but nothing about it feels cheap or crap. It's just a...

Now I also measured the resistors on KBT Pure, and they are only 100 Ohms. That would result in 30mA of current through a 2V-drop diode and 20mA through a 3V-drop diode. Now most diodes I've seen have "20mA usual, 30mA absolute max" for the current flowing through them. So it does make sense to onl...

ha ha ! love the spacebars Yeah, they work pretty well. I call them "rabbit teeth" spacebars. The one down side is that I lose the six spaces around them because of the way my thumbs hit them at an angle. Alt/AltGr isn't a problem, but if I put something below that, it is. This is no longer a probl...

"Battleship" completed. It resembles the board game Battleship, rather than occupying the space of one like the F122.



The "XMIT" key is functional. It maps to Ctrl + Enter, for sending messages to Skype.

In my travels in California I saw a whole lot of Mexican Coke. They still have access to the classic stuff over there, albeit not in vending machines. Mexican Squirt is great stuff, and I don't even like grapefruit very much. Real sugar, real fruit. There's even pulp at the bottom of the bottle. Me...

This one had me tearing my hair out wondering which song it was after hearing that mellow Pianet [sic] sound in an advertising clip: I can't find anything to back this up, but that sounds like a Wurlitzer electric piano to me. (Compare this, from Supertramp's "Breakfast in America".) 6IbxkHL98mY Mo...

I wanted to point out that for the filling of areas that are hard to fill with putty, there is something known as "ghetto epoxy": cyanoacrylate ("super") glue, and baking soda. Apply a thin layer of glue, sprinkle on the powder, blow off the excess, repeat. It gets hot enough to burn skin, but not h...

Conclusion: leaving aside the four flippers that can be resolved, the flippers are compatible. How badly would it affect the feel if you were to shave the flippers to fit the case? It doesn't look like the hinges are affected by the interference, and I think someone showed (on this forum) that even...

You're a lightweight.

There was a topic?

Just landed in my Gmail box this morning.

Come on history. Prove him wrong! The clock's a ticking. For now at least. Just the idea of an SNP victory and government was laughably absurd back in my teens. And a referendum! What next? The Irish allowing gay equality! Maybe if UKIP succeeds and gets its Brexit , that will be sufficient motivat...

I figured that's all Mu wanted to do as well, and my reply was predicated on that.

Topre is a subtle switch. A point that comes up again and again. Beware the meh! But once you've gotten into their flow, like after a long evening session of busy typing, they're magnificent. The opposite of so many chintzy clicky switches (MX blue I'm looking at you) that make you smile the first ...

http://i.imgur.com/JXmniFg.jpg I'm curious why you opted to rotate the switches for WASD, Fn, and the arrow keys, and whether this has any effect whatsoever on the feel or function. (I get that WASD are Nixies, but the arrow keys and Fn are not, and you didn't rotate Esc or CapsLock.) If the answer...

Sounds like you're a prime candidate for a beam spring, because that's EXACTLY what they do.

Make you a perfect performance in the game, also good for your daily using. It will be a great gift for your boyfriends or girlfriends. What if I have one boyfriend and one girlfriend, you insensitive clod?! :lol: (Never actually been in the position of having both at once, unlike my lead character.)

Can we do the same for the North American one :D? Hopefully yes. At least the logistics are easier, as there is no significant cost difference to shipping across one state or across twenty, but for speed reasons it's probably still best to roughly solve the Traveling Salesman Problem. (Shorter jump...

It is, especially if you have someone using your PC who doesn't know the 60% FN layer. I have my keypad on the left of the keyboard and it's awesome! I need to change the switches though, they are a little bit too stiff for me. Putting it on the right of the mouse would make sense for someone who c...

I think it goes without saying that the vast majority of us would vote for ANSI.
