Yes, Chyros "the Keynfluencer" should make keyboard prices go up and down inversely proportional to their value through such videos. I mean, that is exactly the real purpose of politics, right?

If testing with an USB converter, perhaps using a virtual machine (with VirtualBox for example) that runs Linux could be an alternative. There are ready-made Linux virtual machines out there too, you don't even need to install them, just Machine->Add. VirtualBox should then allow explicit direct ...

Finally had some time to build my quefrency 65% keyboard, with Zilent switches, Panda linears (POM) for modifiers and Devlin keycaps:

Vim/Emacs/Atom/Sublime etc. logos in the extra keyset, as Esc, CapsLock replacement?

Thanks for the quick answer! I'll search a bit more about the possibility of updating its Linux innards (I see Asus has the free parts on its support page: https://www.asus.com/supportonly/EA-800 ... _Download/).

Assuming this is still for sale, I have a couple of questions (sorry if already answered):

- battery usage (how much can you work on it between recharges)
- can one upgrade, or replace the Linux distribution that the device runs?

I managed to install Linux on a newish cheap Chinese tablet ...

I'm afraid all this USB power/data direction handling stuff is way over my head, unfortunately :/ Some new tablets have larger batteries, I think the simplest would be to just rely on that tablet's internal battery and let the keyboard draw from it too; and in the end, you have to charge just one ...

On https://thingiverse.com there are a lot of designs for iPad/tablets stands - one adapted to have a base handle gripping on the keyboard to keep the iPad at the right viewing angle (and maybe pushed further back) could do the trick - but you need to design it and print it (there are 3d-printing ...

Indeed, but this wouldn't be a big problem - that's the joy of 3d printing, you design something just for you :) And the battery idea is great (especially for older tablets), if either the tablet allows charging and keyboard detection at the same time; otherwise an extra switch (charge/OTG) could do ...

Don't rush it, maybe browse some more this forum (and the wiki), see what keyboards people recommend? Then see what switch type you like (tactile, clicky, linear etc.). This store has some better keyboard brands for example: https://mykeyboard.eu/catalogue/category/mechanical-keyboards_3 ...

Hi (and welcome!), just to make sure, you know that you can choose PT layout input in your operating system, it's not keyboard dependent: i.e. there will be a mismatch between some of the keycap legends and what you actually type when you press them. If that's ok for you, you can buy any ANSI (US ...

(also a note for the future me, since, although I do have a 3d printer, I'm too busy to do anything hobby related)

The MARVELOUS idea:

Now that 3d printers are *cheap*, one could print a replacement for the case of a small format, portable keyboard (HHKB, FC660C) which would also function as a ...

Aha, thanks

Do you happen to still have "the NT backbone" as you called it?

On Linux, I just use 'xev' or 'xev -event keyboard', or 'xev -event keyboard -event mouse' as needed

"Fanniest" post ever photekq, you dirty mischiever you!

I bought a 3d printer ("Ender 3X", 200$ shipping included, from a warehouse in Europe no less!). Since then, and because I have the keyboards I want (Topre etc.), I rarely visit here :( 3d printing finally became cheap and good, and opens nearly-infinite possibilities (imagine making your own cases ...

Nice keyboard - good luck with the trade, it certainly looks like an attractive offer for anyone in search for a more tactile Topre !

No problem, just put them here! I'm not sure I'm still interested in the trade, unfortunately (meanwhile I got all the Topre I wanted).

Wow, the reply I sent you in November 2018 appears as "Yesterday", must be a forum bug. Also, I've sent you some PMs at that time, and you still didn't come up with any pictures of the keyboard (or you have sent the PM to yourself by mistake). Just saying, if you want to trade, you have to show the ...

Hi, I sent a PM.

Yes, beautiful game, finished it three times - lots of innuendos, bad puns, jokes and text that makes fun of you (since basically you have to "say" / type whatever the game authors want) to throw you off ... and the final levels really put your skill at work, you have to type a. fast, b. accurate ...

If it (hopefully) supports Hasu's alternative controller made for the non-silent FC660C model - I didn't check yet - then I guess I could always attach a speaker and configure its QMK firmware to make some noise ...

So, what's a Topre keyboard that is silent from the factory like a HHKB Type-S, but has shape, metal plate and arrow keys like a FC660C? :D ...

Where's (again) Mu?

Cool stuff! You need to redo the typing demo after @scottc licks it!

Try kbdfans.cn, they have good prices and lots of stuff.
