Re: Great/Interesting Finds
You know, if he's gonna charge $3.50 per switch the least he could do is freakin' clean them and not bend the contacts. Those things are filthy and he apparently put lube on top of the dirt right after yanking them out of his "Model M". Maybe the essay he's so kind as to include with the switches wi...

Re: MACRO Macro Pad (C3 Maestro)
Happy to spend a few minutes getting it right! I tried a few different baud rates, mainly with the ESC key- here's what they did: 1200: all keys 0 down 0 up unless pushing multiple keys at a time which might yield a 56 or 128 2400: single digit, inconsistent up and down codes e.g. 1 1 or 0 3 or 0 2 ...

Re: MACRO Macro Pad (C3 Maestro)
It's still possible that it really is just plain-old TTY-level RS-232 serial. MMcM's idea yielded some great results. I found a couple of sketches having to do with reading serial from the Pro Micro's serial ports and loaded them up. This sketch below was used to generate the "Number" section of th...

Re: MACRO Macro Pad (C3 Maestro)
Are you comfortable writing an Arduino sketch for your Pro Micro? It's still possible that it really is just plain-old TTY-level RS-232 serial. Connect the data line to RX. In setup, open Serial1 at some baud rate (1200 is a good first guess). In the loop, check available and print any character th...

MACRO Macro Pad (C3 Maestro)
So I picked up one of those C3 Maestro 911 Operator keyboards from eBay and have taken to calling it the MACRO Macro Pad because it's freakin' HUGE. F&F switches, thick plastic top, metal bottom, double-shot caps... It's quite the looker. IMG_0420.JPG The problem is, I have no idea how to go about m...

Re: F62+F77 orders now open! New Kishsaver+Industrial Model F Keyboards
For me it is a good mixture of both. I tend to stay 60% on MacOS and then the navigation keys are different to Windows (e.g. Home/End are not to jump to the beginning and end of a line but the full text). I could remap them, but as I change between Linux and Windows also, it isn't practical. On Win...
