The macro lens does not lie. That's a cat's whisker! Wrong colour to be anyone else's. Well, yet…

PS: welcome back Trev.

Thanks! Finished that crazy project I was on for more than a year, so now I'm back to messing around with input devices

Hypersphere · 19 Jun 2014, 14:42

That Windows key!

At least it doesn't have a bubble top.

Muirium · 19 Jun 2014, 14:54

At least it's not still on my keyboard!

Those stock caps are pretty similar to a Filco's in feel, by the way. Nothing great, but not so bad you'll ENJOY YOUR FEELING either…

I'd be happy with a pointing device connected to my eyes, so that I can control the mouse with my eyes!
Never leave the home row, that would be a dream

I love typing to much to make it obsolete with Bluetooth Brain connection.

I want that, as a photographer, too. Not some dumb Glasshole headgear, but a light meter in my glasses! We'll get there…

cookie · 19 Jun 2014, 16:31

I don't wear glasses, but I would if I could get rid of the mouse that way

I can't stand the winkey/menu key designs - I would have "menu" on the menu key, and the 95 logo or "Super" on winkey. The 95/98 logo looks damn nice. I'm surer microsoft wouldn't mind which logo is used as long as it is windows

Muirium · 19 Jun 2014, 19:38

Oh sure, like they'd spell a little thing like that out…

Amusingly, their own (public facing) page seems to be out of date, as everything is Vista era. But look at the Windows Logo Key section to see the not-exactly-long list that you're allowed. Pick only from the list! And imagine what it looks like now.

I'd prefer text instead of a diamond; "Super" or "Meta" or whatever. But I'll use a set of Ducky PBT dyesubs anyway, so it doesn't matter.

Forget diamonds or ducks. Squirrel is the way to go.

If that Windows key were a crystal of galena, with that cat's whisker you could have yourself a classic radio.

I wish my Pure Pro came with the nut instead of the "Win" key.
At least the spacebar has a squirrel instead of the "Enjoy your feeling" motto.

The diamond on HHKB is actually the diamond of the Meta Key on SUN keyboards :d I would love a diamond key on all my keyboards. In fact I don't know if someone noticed the side print on the right diamond key on HHKB, that "Stop" is also from SUN keyboards, Stop key is an important one on SUN machines, you can do a lot of nasty stuff with that key.
Eiiti Wada must have loved those SUN workstations

Who said anything about it being cancelled?

About wheybags caps...the feel of the material is good. I'll report if any discolouration occurs in fairly short time. Can you tell apart from original caps?

Trev · 22 Jun 2014, 15:20

I'm really interested in purchasing some bubble-key replacements as soon as he has them ready

Muirium · 22 Jun 2014, 16:52

@Wheybags. Open up a sales thread when you're ready. I bet there's good demand for these. I'll be after some when I have a Topre that isn't already MX!

adhoc · 22 Jun 2014, 16:53

Well there's been some inquiries on GH. I redirected them to you wheybags.

mrt181 · 22 Jun 2014, 21:32

Any plans to release a full sized version with numeric keypad or a seperate numeric keypad?

Bramster · 24 Jun 2014, 11:49

Hey everyone, like Murium mentioned I do would like to mention the caps shown on the sample that was sent to Murium and Matt3o are not the final caps.. Especially the ones for the keys with LED behind them have changed and also the some changes to the font...

Sorry for a little absence lately but I have bene to DreamHack in Sweden, where actually we had the NovaTouch TKL on display ^^ Aaaaaaaaaaand one of you forum users actually was so interested and had a little go/type testing on it

Monkay · 24 Jun 2014, 13:02

A fanpage for a single keyboard? Can you hype it any more?

trax · 27 Jun 2014, 21:52

I just want the sliders.
And someone to make MX caps for HHKB.
