That must be one hell of a KVM switch you've got set up there. (Well, a reverse KVM switch.)

Hi all, Hopefully my new mechanical keyboard with hot swappable switches will arrive at some point, and then I plan to make good use of the switch sampler pack that I got along with the keyboard. Of course when (hot) swapping switches you'll want to know if they work correctly. There are programs an...

I do understand to some degree. I'm getting a mechanical keyboard to replace my Unicomp which replaced my Model M. One of the things I'm very much looking forward to is setting up the keyboard in ways that the Mac doesn't support, or only with relatively hacky software. For instance, something as si...

Well, obviously the Raspberry Pi 400 already has a keyboard. So it makes more sense to use a regular Raspberry Pi without an enclosure or peripherals.

I await the first Cherry Pi.

Yes, there would have to be a new or updated USB capability that would have to be implemented at both ends. But the point is to bypass the locale stuff. So the keyboard knows what's on the keycap, so if it sends that Unicode character, that's it and the computer doesn't get to interpret that in its ...

it's very inelegant. essentially it tries to do the alt+hex code thing on windows or similar trickery on linux and mac. it's not real input, it's a kludge imo. Exactly, that's why I'd like to see a more standardized way for keyboards to bypass keycodes and send Unicode characters, but in addition t...

Actually QMK can already produce Unicode output, but this is specific to the host operating system. So you need to reflash your firmware when you connect the keyboard to another OS. With the Mac, this means you must use the Unicode hex input keymap, which means you lose the regular way of inputing a...

Hi, I'm new here! So apologies if I'm saying something stupid. Wouldn't turning a keyboard into a full fledged computer with screens and everything defeat the purpose? We already have computers... But certainly having some smarts in the firmware can be helpful in many ways. For this reason, I ordere...
