I *think* I remember some editor that showed an accent like ` or ' after typing such a dead key, although it moved the cursor afterwards (of course after the next letter typed it would do the right thing). It could have been even Notepad or Wordpad, I rarely use Windows nowadays.

Heh, well I rather meant something like this: when you type a dead key, the editor (using low-level keyboard scanning or something similar) shows the accent on current cursor position, maybe flashing it, or in a different color, and then the cursor is kept as is, not moved; so the user can then type...

Type writers did have dead keys. In Spanish, for example, the acute accent key was a key that produced the accent but did not move the carriage, then, after it any key typed was let to be printed under the accent. That was a dead key by definition. Heh, editors *could* do that too ... (I mean, it w...

A-ha, thanks a lot for this answer! Maybe the Linux specific bugs got solved in the kernel in the meantime?

@Findecanor, I'm pretty sure when I plug in a keyboard with QMK firmware,it always appears as multiple devices (in Linux, 'dmesg' shows multiple input event sources IIRC), even if I don't enable fancy stuff in QMK; AFAIK, the 6-nkro issue pointed out by @hansichen is still relevant and QMK still use...

A bit funny how the user managed to present the issue by almost making an entire review of the keyboard in the process

But it's true that ortholinear keyboard layout *is* considered more ergonomic than staggered, so it doesn't matter if 99% of computer users don't feel familiar with it, when first put in contact with such a keyboard. So Chyros, you do deserve a bit of bashing there :P "Since I can't type on this, i...

3d print one? (or have it printed somewhere close)

It's possible this was an alphanumeric add-on to a cash register machine that had those numbers in a numpad already, looking at e.g.:



or

"für folgende Sigma-registrierkassen" -> "for the following Sigma cash registers"

Also most kbdfans.cn 60% keyboard PCBs for example are completely programmable and usually improved (*) clones of GH60 AFAIK.

(*) Improved not necessarily as in "better materials" or soldering, but supporting more stuff (RGB lights, or custom layouts)

Congrats mcmaxmcmc!

Thanks again guys. It was fun while it lasted. Unfortunately...

I'm eagerly waiting for "The 2019 keyboard ASCII art contest" (no kidding)!

Heheh

^^Mgla is great (and the instrumental "exercise" V is awesome)

Technical doom metal with insane drumming:

Nice build! For the 3d printed middle layer, what printing setttings did you use? (infill and stuff) Thanks!

I want it Sending PM.

^^^ Ditto. Maybe focus on the RL problems in the 1st place, and let people talk as they always do.

How are the EC switches from Varmilo? I don't know how these totally went under my radar. (OK, I did a search and found Hasu's post at GH - smooth linears, no domes, potential problems with any future tactile variant)

Thanks for answering, there are some ANSI Bluetooth enabled models for sale on various sites; hopefully sometimes in the future I'll finally have the time to learn KiCAD and design my own PCBs; I have a long queue of projects to make (including a custom PCB for Space Invader switches).

Hey, good luck with the sale! How do you find the kailh low profile switches, btw?

Use a Pro Micro with Hasu's ps2usb converter firmware?

very space-saving

Closest to your specs (75%) from mykeyboard.eu would be:

Heh Maybe you could further frankenstein a Topre slider bottom with that MX bottom-cut stem and make something more non-wobbly somehow. But, if it doesn't bother you too much, I guess it's good as is.

So, you have an MX top housing and stem (cut) pressing on a Topre dome, and also functioning alright? How does it feel?

They are quite loose and indeed the keycaps look a bit rotated. They are also, probably, the "best" you can get *without* sacrificing a Novatouch keyboard (or a Realforce Topre RGB, except that you can't use the stabilizers for the larger keycaps, since they look different). Also this thread may be ...

But *why* review it in the first place? So we'll know what to avoid like the plague and why. Just *look* once at that keyboard, it's quite enough :) But *why* review it in the first place? So that I know what kind of Christmas or birthday (keyboard) presents to send to my "favourite" pre-school chi...

But *why* review it in the first place?

Why I don't need a Realforce R2

(Novatouch with 55g Topre domes, silenced with KBDFans rings, Leopold dye-sublimated keycaps)
