Thanks for the link @waxen thistle

cinder wind
#

yeah super nice board, where did you get it made, Andy

gaunt plume
#

favorite keeb switches? GO!

fervent kestrel
cinder wind
#

wow, go pcbcart! I use them but never though to try matte finish

fervent kestrel
#

Yeah, it's pretty nice! They have a matte option for black or green

prime sentinel
fervent kestrel
#

Hehe, so far so good! 😃

gaunt plume
#

@prime sentinel 😮 you'll never guess what I'm hacking on

shell mason
#

Keyboard switches of Cherry Purple

gaunt plume
#

Mattias QuietPro for MacOS

prime sentinel
#

That's a nice one. I'm currently using a Tactile Pro 4.

gaunt plume
#

that one sounds like a trading floor at the stock exchange

fervent kestrel
#

These low profile switches are pretty nice, I've made a few builds using the tactile "brown" switches

fallen siren
#

I started on a teletype machine - that was a keyboard 😄

prime sentinel
#

I started with (of all things) a Flexowriter, then moved on to an ASR-33 teletype.

cinder wind
#

And hey @inner spade what's that acrylic JP is talking about?

waxen thistle
#

blue tape -- the residue-less cousin of duct tape

fallen siren
#

I have no idea what a Flexowriter is - opens a Google window...

prime sentinel
inner spade
#

hang on -- I'll get the link...

shell mason
#

there is 3D printing file for cherry mx

I'm using Oak Full-travel Membranes at the moment (Sun 3 workstation keyboard circa 1984).

I'm using a boring keyboard -- 2013 macbook pro.

shell mason
fervent kestrel
#

That last screw is a little tricky — a bit of pressure with a finger on the top should help when screwing it in

fallen siren
#

The keyboards that came with a Research Machines RM380Z were good - clanky!

cinder wind
#

@inner spade Cheers, thanks!

Cherry would be my choice for building a kbd, blues likely.

Hmm. Jafar + Deadpool.

fervent kestrel

#

@fervent kestrel Such a clean design!

shell mason
waxen thistle
#

Looks like a keyboard from the rebooted USS Enterprise (kelvin/JJ abram's lens flare timeline)

#

Clean and sleek

fervent kestrel
#

I get a lot of use out of the rotary encoder variation of the build (can be made with the same circuit board)

prime sentinel
#

Neat!

young adder
#

it's a mini trellis on steroids ^^

fervent kestrel
#

@haughty quiver That's so cool to see it working as a camera switcher!

eager sapphire
#

That coupon code, again?

waxen thistle
#

@fervent kestrel What do you use them for with your setup?

#

MINIKBD is the coupon code @eager sapphire

eager sapphire
#

Thanks Bruce

young adder
#

I like the matrix circuit, it can be extended easily without using to many pins

fervent kestrel
#

My encoder build has a volume control on the large knob and track select on the smaller one, and then I have a set of six keyswitches that I use to put a set of arrow keys on my left hand (so the other hand can stay on the mouse)

#

That's where the idea came from first, to get a full sized set of arrow keys over to my left hand

waxen thistle
#

Very nifty

young adder
#

At that size and price, one could build one of those for each game they play ^^

@fervent kestrel amazing job ! Thank you for sharing !

#

yeah, this is a great project

I think there are some "game" extensions.

Is it possible to use Trinket M0 for USB MIDI?

waxen thistle

MINIKBD

shell mason
#

MINIKBD

cinder wind
#

@umbral stump, yes when programming it with Arduino you can do USB MIDI

waxen thistle
#

@haughty quiver Thanks for another awesome show!

haughty quiver
#

thanks very much.

fervent kestrel
#

Such a great demo, thank you for featuring the MiniKbd!

inner spade
#

Thanks @haughty quiver ! (and @fervent kestrel , too!)

haughty quiver
#

@fervent kestrel this is a terrific, fun project, thanks for sharing it, and for coming by

fervent kestrel
#

I'm flattered that you used "MINIKBD" as the discount code 😃

#

absolutely!

shell mason
#

@haughty quiver you have keys for Trellis M4?

umbral stump
#

@haughty quiver awesome livestream! @cinder wind is that a Serial method or with MIDIUSB library?

fervent kestrel
#

I'll hang around for a while if anyone has any other questions about it, CircuitPython is so much fun for a project like this because of how easy it is to edit the code, you can comment out some code and make a quick change just for one task and then easily swap it back —

haughty quiver
#

i like your Davies clone knob in that picture, @fervent kestrel

cinder wind
#

@umbral stump with Arduino, you can do both USB MIDI and Serial MIDI. With CircuitPython you can do Serial MIDI but not USB MIDI yet

haughty quiver
#

oh, nice, I didn't know that GUI mod to arrows does that!

fallen siren
#

Ah the keyboards I have known and loved - original Commodore Pet not so much!

fervent kestrel
#

Yeah! I have lots of parts hanging around from old synth builds

haughty quiver
#

:)

umbral stump
fervent kestrel
#

Yeah, the app I was using at that moment needed Command-Right and Command-Left keypresses

cinder wind
#

@umbral stump, yup! 😃

umbral stump
#

Thanks for help

haughty quiver
#

oh, I see, @fervent kestrel I thought you were saying that caused the auto repeat. But that's built into 'press' of course.

fervent kestrel
#

Ah right, yeah that was only to add the "command" modifier

haughty quiver
#

I use three Griffin Power Mates as my control surface for Premiere, but it's not really supported anymore and one day I may need to roll my own with the MiniKbd

fervent kestrel
#

Oh wow, nice setup

prime sentinel
#

Slick. I have a single Powermate, it's a neat little device.

shell mason
#

soon @haughty quiver make it fully compatible Keyboard with those

fervent kestrel
#

and you can tell which mode you're in by the LED color

haughty quiver
#

that's excellent

shell mason
#

any those minority report type?

I had a WaveShare Raspberry Pi screen, but when I dropped it, that killed it.

Yeah, I go to Tandy Leather Shops occasionally

There's a Tandy leather quite near here! My dad used to shop there when he was doing a lot more leatherwork.

waxen thistle
#

Coincidentally, it's in the same plaza as the old RadioShack. Would've been nice to see both of them side by side -- the old and the new.

clear matrix
#

He still has all of his leatherworking equipment. He did a leatherworking project for Christmas to hold the stockings on hooks that are on leather strips so there's only two hooks on the post itself. Brass hardware and fancy leather.

waxen thistle
#

Oh nice! It's something I dabble in (got a box of leatherworking tools at an estate sale). Figure it's a great way to build clasps and holders for cosplay & electronics that are very rugged and durable.

Hi, Tom in Australia

I strongly suggest looking at the Dell 2007fp and 2001fp monitors -- they're 4:3, VERY high quality IPS for the time they were released (2007 and 2001, respectively).

And they were bought by businesses in droves, so they are plentiful in the second-hand market.

@pearl shoal It's how they used to signal the time to ships in the harbor, I think.

that apple keyboard looks just like the keyboard I had on my very first computer when I was a kid which was a mac computer

lavish patrol
#

@waxen thistle I think you've shifted the subject...

#

And so Adafruit maybe could sell a keyboard with the same mechanical wonderfulness as in the original Model M keyboard, with a USB connector.

@eager sapphire From my understanding, they bought IBM's rights to make them according to the old tech & research....I own one of them, and I can't tell the difference between them and my Model Ms.

Thanks, Bruce

#

We always have more space for keyboards!

eager sapphire

Absolutely, they stack well

#

...and then all slide in a massive avalanche

waxen thistle
#

@eager sapphire Well, one thing -- the vintage Model Ms are WAY heavier. Metal backing vs. the unicomp plastic backing. But the key action is virtually the same.

This is out of control! No escape from the keyboards
