I haven't had much luck finding where the breakdown is happening. It's a bit trickier for me to understand because now it's a matter of understanding how the computer is communicating to the keyboard and not the other way around.

Since all keys seem to register just fine in the tester, I figure ...

What's a good German candy/snack that should be introduced to folks in the US?

Chocolate. Hershey's is a greasy mess in a bar.

Is there a stupid easy mistake (like spacebar stabilizers with F XTs) that I'd likely make as a first time beamspring cleaner?

I checked the "util" (using the one that came with my new F77 qmk firmware) and they do not change if I press a key individually.

Isopropyl alcohol I already have for my various model Ms. Thanks for the foam link. I will need a 15mm stamp, right?

I am a proud new owner of a 5251 beamspring keyboard.

Unfortunately, the key e doesn't register, and 5,6, t,y, g,h and b,n only register if pressed at the same time (5 and 6 together that is). I checked the capsense utility and the levels only change when the keys are pressed two at a time.

I opened the pcb assembly, cleaned stuff and now its working fine.
Seems to me you're far from the first to say this regarding the (otherwise phenomenal) new model f.
Usually it comes down to the electrical tape on the controller being pierced and shorting, though.


In retrospect, wiggling ...

Not entirely convinced by the way the thing is opened.

Thanks! Yes, repeated key strokes only go from 124 to 128. I'll investigate.

Stupid question - where exactly do I find the signal level monitor?

Hi,

I am running pandrew's qmk on my ultra compact new f77. The '0' key does not register if I repeatedly push it in quick succession, single keypresses are fine 95% of the time. Reseated the keycap and wiggled the spring already. Is this likely a calibration/ software issue or should I get out my ...

In Linux, kmonad could be an option, although it needs to be changed to work with two inputs. If I really get to do this, I would prefer the two-controller-trrs approach though.

This is a corne - https://github.com/foostan/crkbd - it works with two serial connected pro micros of which one is the main connected via usb and the other one is the not-main one connected via TRRS cable. For keymaps and combos, it is one keyboard.

I think a flat plate would be the way to go. Given that the wcass controller boards seem to support qmk just fine, that would be my choice there.

Are the exact measurements of the "barrel holders" for the new F77 barrels available somewhere to be used with keycad to design the plate? I happen to ...

Hi,

with the model f flippers and barrels now available for 1$ each... What would one need for a buckling spring corne?

Barrels - check
Springs and flippers - check
Plate - corne shaped, to be designed
PCB with capacitor pads, corne shaped, tbd
Controller for each side, tbd

I've seen https ...

it arrived in Germany yesterday (and is now stuck in Customs Clearance) 😃


I was lucky to have read up on this - when I got mine, right before paying the import tax, the clerk asked if I am going to connect it to my PC. "Of course I don't! It's for display!" "Ausstellungsstück". That way, they ...
