We all started somewhere (even here ), e.g. viewtopic.php?f=7&t=9418

Read about Soarer's controller (not the converter - although the converter's docs are useful afterwards, with key mapping).

A question of taste - for me it's the opposite, I much prefer the snappier FC660C domes to the Realforce ones.

I have a qHack Alps prototype bought from the Marketplace here on DT, and scottc gave me advice about how to create a plate for it. Now that European plate-making services exist, I really have to give that build a try. The case also might be a problem, since the qHack is a bit larger than a 60% (may...

Life doesn't grow keyboards Now I suspect you're the one involved The secrecy, ah, the secrecy!

How?

Das bump

I never worked with PHP, or web stuff ...

Would it kill the performance to have the "35 private posts / page" number changed to something much larger (e.g. 10000) ? Then people would only have to export one CSV to search at home. Instant PM backup as bonus, too.

Would it be easier to make the "export this view" button work on all the PMs somehow, instead of the current page? This way people could then export all their PMs in one step and then search through that CSV/XML file on their local PCs.

Any name without "ping" in it!

Dingmaster?

There are a variety of black-on-black PBT (or POM) sets out there, usually Cherry profile (at kbdfans.cn for example, originative.com, or Tai Hao). Any specific reason for the Ducky ones?

I am reading various reddit posts about these rings, and it seems they are a bit thinner, or at most the same thickness, than Hypersphere's rings.

I see these are now available (*), one review here , installation guide here . Anybody @DT tested these rings yet? Opinions? https://i.imgur.com/57G9xeD.jpg ------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------ --------------...

Ah, SEGA's TotD (jump to 5:07 for the end-of-level boss sequence)

About the Elite-C USB breakout pins - there are two smaller holes/pads underneath, they could be the D+/D- lines?

A keyboard without arrows is a bit crippling IMHO; even if you normally avoid arrows, there's always a situation coming up when you need to press some key combo that needs arrows, and having them as FN+somekey makes that combo hard (imagine having to press ctrl+shift+arrows in some program, when arr...

The Plum BT versions have a sleep function, and they enter it after some time (~1 hour?) if not used. Using the 'Wake' key (which is probably polled, but much slower, or has some watchdog-like service attached), the keyboard can be woken up when needed again (you can press any other key to wake the ...

In theory, you could also use an Arduino Micro (or Teensy) and an Adafruit "BLE SPI Friend" and make your own HHKB alternative controller, with Bluetooth 4 - using QMK firmware, which has support for this combination. And Hasu was kind enough to show how to make a DIY controller, instead of buying h...

Cool

I think Hasu's controller really is a requirement, mapping Enter for dual-action key (RCtrl, Enter) is quite useful indeed

Cool! My help was mostly motivational, though

Now, pics or it never happened!

Ah, I see now. I am so used of *not working as root* that I simply didn't see the hash prompt

@Laser Thank you for your answer! So, I have tested quite a good things. I even think I had started to brick my Pro Micro card. It seems it is now OK. 1. It seems dfu-programmer never finds the board. How to target it? root# dfu-programmer atmega32u4 erase dfu-programmer: no device present. First, ...

If kbdfans.cn sells it, it should be at least ok. Of course it's possible that the makers also invested $$$ in creating some hype, on top of that.

He doesn't want to put a spacebar on the Novatouch, he wants to put it on a converted Topre kebyoard. So it's 6u. It doesn't actually matter, what he wants are two pieces from the Novatouch that can be placed (probably) in a Topre keyboard to stabilize the spacebar. So, it's about the two cruciform ...

With Pro Micros, I usually use `dfu-programmer` instead:

A bit snobbish, I dare say :P Isn't a deep dive in this hobby taking us all there? :)) Heh - Actually, I hope I'll rather find, fund and develop my quirky unique taste, and not necessarily go in the direction of the most expensive, most unique and most refined typing experience ... that resembles a...

@tsemb_p - if you act quickly, that saber60 is close to what you want (programmable with qmk - I think!; switches are not silenced, but they are not clicky either): https://www.reddit.com/r/mechmarket/comments/anh7xo/eunl_h_tr60_saber60_dz60_tada68_w_paypal/ Edit: seems to be programmable , but not ...

A bit snobbish, I dare say

My first "conscious" contact with mechanical keyboards was when I found a yellowed Unitek keyboard with PCB-mounted MX Blue switches and even more yellowed, taller-than-cherry-profile, sharp corners, lasered keycaps. The feeling was fantastic, when typing fast the clicks and the PCB vibrations would...
