I wonder if the threshold drift and temperature are related. Could the original keyboards have used resistance/impedance as a proxy for temperature and adjusted accordingly?

LOL, maybe we need a preheat circuit; like on old valve electronics, just send a slight current through the matrix till it ...

When I first got my F77 the software registered a bunch of non existent keys in column 15, they were set as "released" in the layers; I needed to change all of them to "ignored." Otherwise, after half hour of use, random keys would start popping up. I presume those are the ground points for the ...

I'll pm you detailed example tonight and why; last day before level 4 lock down here in NZ, off to harvest resources and keep kids entertained. But, essentially you got it exactly right in 2) When I have to switch to a kb in OS, different layers emulate that kb - but keep the actual layout same, as ...

Saying all that I just picked up on what you said -- 2 layers per language -- what do you mean by language? Do you mean keyboard layout for special characters such as áéóúöőűíșâățî?
If yes, then there aren't any usb scancodes for those, languages like that can't be hardcoded into keyboards, those ...

Arrived this Monday morning as I was heading out to work, for the last day before lock down, lock down came a day early I guess... mixed feelings about the plague today :oops: Kitted it out with some terminal keys for now. I will write a bigger comment with some thoughts, but, overall; it's blimin ...

Well... now I feel old, I remember when manufacturers would slap crinkle finish on anything that they wanted to "say" quality.
It used to be a way to offer a more durable protection, when anodising was black magic, and was put on early technical and electric devices. Since they were reserved for the ...

Right Original, would be my vote.

starting to regret not going for an F77 in red.... that looks awesome.

Just FYI, you can get heat shrink with different coating on the outside. There's even some with PTFE that forms a hard, slippery, surface. Also, different thickness, if you want more "meat" around the wire. Electrical tape gets brittle with time and the adhesive isn't meant to be permanent. The ...

Wow, just wow... People are complaining about others getting keyboards earlier, EVEN THOUGH IT WON'T AFFECT WHEN THEY GET THEIRS, might even help speed things along! (And, they still get preferential treatment - when their order can be completed...) Everyday, the human race turns out to be a bit ...

Aren't we all early birds... getting the worm etc. Do you mean the low serial upgrade?

My APL keyset was fine with alignment ( https://www.pckeyboard.com/page/product/USAPLSET .) Quality and feel wise they were same as my two-piece, square badge, model M keys. But, they are two piece... I'd be bit torn putting them in an F77; although... APL!

Yep - we reached peak OCD...

2. Can I change the requested layout given all the updates and other info that has passed through this thread? (especially relevant to me personally since I have spent the last year using a CM Novatouch, so am now used to that sort of block).

As someone in exactly the same situation, I ...

Do you want your keyboard next year? Because that's how that keeps happening...

Honestly, the single arrow tab looks a lot cleaner and matches the remaining legends better.
Once there are more of these keyboards in the wild, I'm sure we will see group buys for alternative key sets. I, for one, will live in hope that Red Samurai will be released for bucking spring keyboards- one ...

I'm squealing like a girl scout, who made it back to the street, after selling all her cookies to a creepy old man with a really long driveway...

You can get them on massdrop recap sale right now

So to order number pad set 5, I need to pay 4x11= 44$ (since we can reuse arrows from base set)?

How? Are you volunteering to sit in a Chinese factory making sure it's all going smoothly?

Maybe try to get held back a year, just to be on the safe side?

All I can say is, just as well I'm not doing QC; made me realise how much I destroyed my hearing working gigs without plugs - when I was young and dumb.

Elrick, I don't think anyone is listening on the assembly line - that... that would be something I'd want a video of lol. They just have tolerances and measurements that the sub assemblies have to meet. If I understood Ellipse's post correctly, he just meant that he was using the sound video to ...

NZ had an exemption on paying vat under 400$, it gets revoked next month, so I'm going to have to cough up 15%. After all this time, missed it by a couple months, because... life?
Tbh, I'm just happy to see it come together, hard to get annoyed about customs.

If it's a Taiwanese board, the '73' in the date stamp may refer to their era calendar, which is ~1984.

1984 is the manufacturing date on the PCB, which makes perfect sense, well spotted. I should have got that, having had to deal with exporting stuff to ROC. It just didn't cross over to the ...

The Illustration for TKL02 shows doubleshot caps, is that correct?

PS. What's with everyone acting like a douchebag in this thread? C'mon, it's bit ott and cringey.

that sub and the skcc board are super nice

I can't wait to get my hands on the Rail corp. board. I really like the layout and the 70s leather couch stylings :)

Hmm, yeah, will be interesting to see what switches that uses. The appearance of the numpad zero with the line through it kind of makes ...

They got a amkey working a while ago on geekhack, they seem fairly simple to convert to modern protocols. The reason I have to get inside is to figure out how the joystick works. BTW 9U spacebar on the sub...
