If you slowly press those dead keys, does the spring action feel "normal" and are you sure you can hear the flipper change position? It might be worth it to unplug the keyboard and try to insert they keycap again so that the spring is properly seated. To do so, hold the keyboard vertically on your l...

http://i.imgur.com/iwBvl.jpg just saying dude the stem broke of the switch not the stem of the keycap, I don't see the connection. Box switches indeed do strecht key caps/break. Rip TMX Bro caps artisan got gaped to oblivion to the point it just flies off on non box switches. One of the reasons i d...

It looks a lot like this picture on Wikipedia of similarly set of piggy-backed chips. TIL.

(1) Case ground and circut ground WILL be the same thing for a keyboard, (2) you dont want your keyboard referanced to mains earth Are you sure? Those small wires (usually yellow) with the round connectors have a dedicated screw and nut to ground the cable (sheathing and cylindrical surround) to th...

What turned out to be the issue with my voltage problem is that the din 5 connector I was using didn't have the sleeve connected to Gnd on the microcontroller. I presumed that you only needed to hook up the Vcc, Gnd, Data, Clock and didn't take into account the Case Gnd that comes through the din 5...

I wonder how you're measuring this. Though if you think the cable already is a voltage drop, couldn't you unplug it and check it with the resistance setting of your multi-meter?

After all, you've been here quite a while :lol: […] DT members tend to be cold with newcomers […] […] I think that the PhD comment relates more with how unfriendly the community is to new members. I think newcomers shoud be treated the way they themselves behave, so "Welcome" when a newcomer starts...

So apparently MassDrop bought the lot, I guess we won't need to prepare the camping area just yet.

There is Reddit and a number of different channels on Discord but those are not proper forum platforms. I wonder if someone will start a GeekHack2 domain. The heathens must be initiated :evilgeek: Somebody on Reddit /MK was claiming that they own geekhack.eu . What could possibly go wrong? :mrgreen:

First of all, did you take the XT apart and are you sure it's properly reassembled? I have read reports in the past of people testing it outside of the case or with the screw between controller and backplate missing which caused problems like these. Are you sure that all keycaps were properly snappe...

Well if we are talking classic top level domains it should be .org ( i hate the new whatever you fecking like TLD too, but hey when in rome) .com is for company .net is for network providers .org is for orgs like this one or for individuals . So DT should not be .net it should be .org. We actually ...

https://deskthority.net/f-o-r-s-a-l-e-f58/dangwang-s-forever-alone-q-q-final-sales-thread-t5612.html That's a lot of stuff, but how did it attract 3000 people? Also Khers, are you the second oldest still active user on Deskthority? It depends on how you define "active". From those still visiting Ce...

So in the picture of the underside, the spring won't fit around that dimple? Can't see how it could come out otherwise...

For everyone who is still in disbelief that we can vote something silly as this to the winning spot, I present you the 2014 DTA Best Keyboard Winner:

Yeah. DeskThority is suuuuper toxic rn (and not just because of reddit, anyone who wants to see how the shitty oldheads act can just look back at the call for best artisan nominations thread).

They're on to us. And I'm saying that as an "oldhead".

Community members were running group buys before MD even existed (Geekhack is ~5 years older than MD), some still do. Not as for-profit vendors, as community members. Community. Have I mentioned the community? The main benefit of MD is that the GB organizer can't just disappear, as it's happened a ...

A lot of noise is made about Massdrop (wah why won't they forge customs forms for me?!? It's their fault that my country has import tax) It would be a start if they got the custom forms 100% correct. I still haven't forgiven them for declaring my Granite kits as 6 * $24 items (or whatever the numbe...

Please suggest nominees for the best "other" input device in 2017. This can be an ergonomic keyboard, a mouse, a trackball, etc. Anything alternative from the mainstream tenkeyless, full, and 60% keyboards. https://deskthority.net/call-for-nominees-f107/best-other-input-device-t17735.html Yea, I ch...

It looks like this thing has only two wires coming out of it? Somebody else will have to chime in but it won't be standard PS/2, so a simple converter is ruled out. The matrix itself looks pretty nice, and the fact it has diodes built-in actually makes this pretty versatile. If nobody replies with a...

- restoring it is a nightmare just as they say! so beware, the spacebar had to be modded too because it was super heavy, the barrels don't want to stay in place when you close it, closing it alone is an adventure - This is exactly why my model F guide recommends pulling in place the spacebar hammer...

- The ability to set and recognize device IDs.

While Soarer's tools are brilliant, I've had it happen a few times that I was reprogramming the wrong device because every one of my keyboards contains a Soarer controller / converter, and you don't always think about which ones are connected.

@JBert Thanks for the explanation, and you mentioned USB legacy mode, which needs to be set up in BIOS, is this legacy mode still in effect after Windows takes over the control of hardware? Continuing off-topic: normally the keyboard is "rebooted" when Windows starts up so that it is back in its de...

Is it because of my understanding to NKRO is wrong? I don´t know why people say M is 2KRO, in fact, it´s 6KRO(6 keys most at the same time), via USB adapter at least. I don´t encounter any problem playing CS:GO with my SSK, it only uses 4 keys at most... Your understanding is wrong. NKRO generally ...

Heh, it looks like it is time to demolish that forum and pave over it with a new import / install, it seems to be infested with spammers.

You seem to be right, the END keycode on the next to last line is triggering an error.

I'm afraid that can't be solved without fixing sctools and rebuilding them. The quickest solution is likely to pick another key and bind that to PAGE_UP if possible.

Or just upload them here, at least they can't disappear then while the post remains.

Perhaps breaking the non-ground trace of the Fn switch, on the PCB, and instead soldering a wire from that switch pin to a free input pin on the Teensy/Pro Micro on which Soarer's converter runs (i.e. "rerouting the Fn key") ... or maybe both pins have to be rerouted ... I think Soarer documentatio...

However, are SATA cables really meant for frequent unplugging and connecting? They also tend to be rather stiff when they're of the flattened kind.

I've been a fan of Soarer converters for years, all of my favorite keyboards have one. A month ago I received the parts for a GH60 (which I actually ordered years ago). My hope was to flash it with Soarer's Keyboard Controller firmware but it went haywire, and Soarer is no longer active to help debu...
