I'm really happy that the XMIT Hall Effect keyboard got to MassDrop! I like smooth switches and therefore went to the MassDrop page to join the drop. However, a few things are still holding me back: - The heavier 70g switches pair with only the bamboo case but not the black (acrylic?) case like this...

Perhaps I should observe more before taking any action to acquire my Lisp keyboard...

Does it mean 7bot stopped working??
Or in a garage for repair, or in Urlaub?

Any member experience similar thing?

Recently, all my PM (private messages) stay in the outbox and not sending out.

Please help.

This PCB supports Alps, but there is no good key cap set (except for harvesting) that support Alps. Correct?

What switches does the original Space-cadet and Symbolics keyboards have?

Of all the keyboards you have owned (contemporary and/or vintage; new or used), which one has proved to be the most reliable and which one has proved to be the least reliable? The most reliable is the one you have always trusted to get the job done. The least reliable is the one that developed prob...

1€ per 10 sliders - I don't need to harvest anything. Perhaps selling the Noppoo EC108 cheap to a beginner or outsider is less wasteful. It's afterall a properly made board though probably not as good as the NovaTouch - it just needs better rubber domes and programmability.

By the way, I like the color: it kind of reminds me of the color of the SGI O2.

Do you have the exact JTK sliders or those from aliexpress? I believe I have these from aliexpress - they're from TaoBao right? It looks like they're the stems from PLUM Topre-clone boards which are very quiet, but I haven't installed them on my HHKB yet. With them my HHKB can have DSA Granite / Do...

I actually have those Topre to MX stems. They're quite well designed with a groove ring on top of the stem base for the integrated red elastic dampening ring, so dampening with not much key travel reduction. If something like this exist for Alps, it will make life make easier. However with the curre...

I misread the title as Alps to MX sliders and was very excited.

If the goal is to encourage experimentation with keyboard layouts on Alps boards then what would really help is having a go-to Alps DSA profile set. We might almost have this with the Light Cycle set next year. ... I'm saddened that Light Cycle group buy was not successful - I like its futuristic l...

There're reasons why when people play with the smaller 40% boards, they prefer DSA profile - it's much easier to fiddle with the layout with just 1 key set. Personally for 60% and above, I prefer Cherry or DCS because they're designed for touch typing.

It's good if the kit is also compatible with JD45 / JD40: JD45: http://i.imgur.com/z5cyBTE.png http://i.imgur.com/K3liYAT.png https://deskthority.net/group-buys-f50/jd45-keyboard-pre-orders-t12970.html Planck: https://massdrop-s3.imgix.net/product-images/MD-11607_20151008193027_4d9369cb7e5f1943.jpg ...

Something similarly smart-ass is the 'touch keyboard' of the new Lenovo Yoga Book:

I normally rest my fingers on the home row, but that just by touching the surface, keys are pressed already.

Why don't you put all of them on a single board? Or perhaps even solder them so you can plot all their force curve.

I recently bought a used Windows Phone (the past flagship 'Nokia' Lumia 930) in less than 100€, upgradable from 8.1 to 10. I have an iOS device (an iPad) and I really like the Windows Phone design experience. It's a pity they don't have as many apps, I always wonder why there aren't as many develope...

On a Hall Effect keyboard, is it possible to program the switch to sense how hard the key is pressed like that on a piano keyboard?

One quick question. One my ThinkPad keyboard, I use the Trackpoint most for scrolling, even more than pointing. For scrolling, I hold the middle button when moving the Trackpoint up or down. That comes back to my question: There is no middle button in the prototypes. How is Trackpoint scrolling impl...

Ich vermisste das Meetup! Schön, alle Fotos zu sehen
Ich sollte Deskthority öfter besuchen als Geekhack!

Wow, I think everyone trying out the ALPS switches are dreaming of having these adapters.
Please keep it up and post some updates!

Hey lowpoly, please keep up with the progress.
I hope I can see the finish product and join the group buy some day in the ... future 6 years maybe?

Please do!

The built-in extra functions with Fn all work for me. I have the non-backlit version so can't tell the backlit functions but there are many YouTube videos about the PLUM 84 backlit version and it looks amazing to me. There should be programmability too, and I didn't download the relevant software to...

Wow, just find this out.
I may join the Berlin meeting.

When will 55g version be released? I've heard the 55g Noppoo Topre-clone is closer to the feel of Topre switches among all 35g, 45g, & 55g variations. I'll be also interested in knowing if there'll be a black color version in the future. Just for reference for other members: I have a PLUM 84 EC swit...
