Yes Mu, how about a new build?

Another alternative (says it has 6 extra pins compared to the Pro Micro): https://candykeys.com/product/elite-c

They're probably testing the waters. Not too many keyboard making services in Europe (they're using laserboost.com in turn), so I wish them luck

[Un]Genius Idea of the day… What's the WPM record for chording keyboards, I wonder? They're a bitch to learn, too, but at least have the potential to be ludicrously fast. I understand it can be as low as 25-35 WPM, but if you add stenography techniques (mapping combos to words for example) you can ...

In Europe, "even" a Bigfoot is a rare item. Every time I see somebody suggesting the Bigfoot sacrifice and I check their location, they're from US

Cool!

Also, I take it back the Morse typing would be slow - if one touch-types, he/she can type 10 times faster, writing 10 slow different phrases at once (one per finger). If all of the inner voices agree ...

Elegance beats everything, get an arduino micro

Maybe an "Arduino Micro" (not Pro) could do the job, you'd be at the limit (it has 20 digital i/o pins) if all those pins can be used:

I know it was a joke. Just this topic is fascinating to me, because communication using morse is actually pretty amazing stuff. All is forgiven though. You have "emacs -nw" under avatar. You're disciple of the Church. May good saint IGNUcius bless you. :lol: Well, I use evil-mode , so I'm not sure ...

Lets make a deal. You create a firmware with built in decoder sufficient enough to translate morse code without perfect timing (no operator I know can keep constant perfect spacing between dots,dashes and words). And I make a video using such device in practice. Jokes aside. The issue is more compl...

It's you who makes the keyboard

Well, you can keep it pressed longer for a dash, and shorter for a dot

A perfect switch for your next Morse code-enabled keyboard :lol: ............................................................................. ............................................................................. ............................................................................. ....

Great price, pity you don't do trades GLWS!

Also the same thread reveals @webwit real intentions.

We just launched this to get free crap from keyboard companies.

A quite noble intention, I'd say

Happy birthday DT!

Yeah, I’d love to know how Hasu does it in those wee USB-USB converters of his. Or even better, I’d love him to make a Bluetooth version so we can all get aboard! Well, he says it in his USB2USB converter thread: "You need USB host controller chip MAX3421e and AVR chip ATMega32U4." So he made his o...

Have you done all that usb host shield stuff yourself? I looked into it a little when I first thought of Bluetoothing my Realforce, which is usb only. Host shields seem to be bigger than teensies!

Nope, that's exactly what I'm trying to avoid

@Myoth - Yes, a bit unrelated, if I remember well the AT cable has a DIN5 jack, which has actually the same pins as a PS/2 jack (same pins, same protocol, different jack). The idea in the post above is to avoid using attaching a "USB host shield" to a Pro Micro and rely on the internal keyboard PS/2...

If your USB keyboard supports the PS2 protocol (with a passive PS2toUSB adapter), you can make it fully programmable using Hasu's PS2toUSB converter, much cheaper than buying/making (also Hasu's) USBtoUSB adapter. In the end, your keyboard still hooks using USB, but it's now fully programmable, and ...

An embedded friend?

BTW, somebody's selling a HHKB set of the KBDFans Topre keycaps here (Europe): https://www.reddit.com/r/mechmarket/com ... _keyset_w/

Very nice!

My next build will use Alps (dampened),using a "Quefrency 65%" kit (split keyboard)

@vometia, if you'd describe your 'perfect' Alps keyboard (size, layout, switch type), maybe you'd get either some offers, or some help in building one, or some pointers in getting such a keyboard.

It's an interesting idea, treating the board as "split" to cram all the other important keys to the middle; but personally I couldn't use that layout.

yeah I've been there. I know what you mean. I ended up with this layout. The core part is almost 60%

Looks cool

Thanks! @matt3o It's the lesser evil in this case, the only "sane" solution to have both arrows and a non-swearable right shift in a 60% format.

The nice thing is, as you know it, with QMK I can make that right shift a dual-role key and still have "?/" there (EDIT: done and works wonderfully)

... and it lives!

(where the right shift is shifted to the left )

DZ60 build, Cherry MX "Milky whites" (clicky)

Luckily, there are pics Good luck with the sale!

When your left hand likes staggered, and the right one, ortholinear! Keyboard schizophrenia at its finest But why bother reviewing something like this in the first place?

I have some from an old keyboard (Cherry MX); they seems to be available in some places, e.g. (without the wires, which are not useful for Alps anyway): https://www.kustompcs.co.uk/peripherals/keyboards/mechanical-keyboards-accessories/2-filco-black-stabilizers/ also: https://www.aliexpress.com/item...
