Does that keypad also fix osu timing? Cause I'm not touching that game again unless it does, I'm too afraid to lose my MA.

Exactly. The less stuff is confined to MD, the better the community buys fare.

Microsoft and genuine products is something that does not exist. Microsoft never brought out any innovation! :mad: They innovate in reasons to not use their OS :lol: Seriously though, I think they suck, but that doesn't mean everything they did does. But then again, all of the things that come to m...

The thing is, the original fails to deliver, and now Cherry is copying as well. Dampeners nicked from Alps, clear housings nicked from Matias, and the RealKey©®™ either nicked or relicensed from that one Microsoft keyboard(Sidewinder I think?). Gateron outdid Cherry in their own field, and also work...

I don't get the Apple nomination voters. Sure, it does feel meh, but I'd rather type or even play games on that than anything made by Razer.

Both of them deserve it really, but there's only one wingnut, so Go Team Hasu!

I actually expected Matias and Topre, but Gateron definitely deserves a spot as well.

So I guess now we have the closest thing to Razer making a 60%, "features" and heavy marketing included.

This is 2015, the only thing you're getting is a root certificate with adware. And with razer joining in it's gonna be even worse.

And here's what I think about the keyboard

Remind me next year to nominate whoever suggested and approved the damped Alps rip off in the innovation category.

I may look at it when the pound isn't ridiculously high.

Exactly, we use plain ANSI here

That was innovated in mid-nineties by Alps with their damped switch.

Unless we use the Apple's definition of innovation, that's not a valid nomination.

Just wondering, would it actually work if you just plugged it into an internet port?

Please wait for somebody who knows this stuff better to confirm it wouldn't do any damage though, I have exactly zero experience with terminal keyboards.

Maybe keep the GMK + MD nomination separate, and merge all of the others?

Also remind me to nominate them next year for "breaking the nominations in the Ping Award"

As good as I think it is, keyboard.io ships "Summer 2016"

Fair point. Let's wait on the admins' judgement.

I guess "sold on demand and not as a GB"?

Did the Planck go commercial this year? because I think it's much better than the Cherry board.

Not sure what I expected really. Maybe Input Club ditching MD for the K-Type gave me too much hope others would do the same.

bianca as of now is just a proof of concept, the discussion never went over "it's nice and it can be done". If I had to do it en-mass I would do it differently and with probably some stabilizers and maybe not with a "square" layout but shaped similarly to a HHKB (even more drastic to tell the truth...

Speaking of compatibility, here's a list from the GH thread about Matias Keycaps. Keep in mind that it may be outdated though. Blank Alphanumeric Keyset with Spacebars 26 R4_1 1 R4_1_LED 16 R3_1 12 R2_1 3 R2_1_Blind 15 R1_1 1 R1_2 1 Spacebar_7 1 Spacebar_6.25 1 Spacebar_5.5 (not yet available) Blank...

And here I am, debating between 75% and 60%

Seriously though, that's a very nice board, good job. I'm kinda surprised to see a mouse alongside of it though. Isn't it a pain to reach so far out for it? Have you ever tried a tiling window manager?

I suggest giving the Ping to DT already for the last year's voting(we all know which one).

Also I support 7bit's post about best ≥TKL and best <TKL and that the contestants should be boards that came out after last DTA.

Maybe keep the F keys on the same layer? Makes more sense IMO.

Also, try to either print or draw it up to scale and "type" on it for a while.

So I've been interested in symmetrically staggered keyboards for a while, and I kinda tested them using new cutting-edge "drawing it on a piece of paper up to scale" technology. The problem is, HyperMicro is too small(lack of the number row hit me the most), and HyperMini's symmetrical stagger layou...

I honestly don't see the point in buying these since rubber foam is so easy to buy here. Maybe that's not the case in the rest of the world?

It just struck me: instead of mini-pcb's, why not make switch to perfboard adapters? Sure, they're probably gonna be a bit wobbly, but you wouldn't need to care about layout restrictions or pcb segment size. And any non-prototype design can't be supported by a segmented pcb anyway so you'd need a pl...

I think the best way of doing this are stripes for 1u, 1.25u and 1.5u and making enabler-like single switch segments for other sizes.

As for sizes, I think 4 or 5 key stripes would be the the most flexible.

Bummer, you just had to remove the ones I like...

Anyway, from those four I'd take the third one with Helvetica Staaandaaa... I mean Helvetica-like font and icon mods
