need a good sounding kb suggestion under $100 full kb size for editing
sand pagoda
I’m not super into keyboards, but a go to is always keychron v series for this chat, it’s recommended so often
Also, good sounding is subjective as there are hundreds or form factors and cases and switches and lubes and stabilizers and mods
viscid tapir
keychron v1 and akko monsgeek are both good out of the box for the money as prebuilt
also you can upgrade them

then again its rectangular, and not even 10u

it is, i don't have any spare switches

Ok, you’re sure there’s none in the box? (If you still have it)
it's a gaming keyboard lol, ofc it doesn't have any spare switches
sand pagoda
Damn, the only thing I can think of would be the switch isn’t working properly. Have you spilled anything on the keyboard? Or stuff like food or whatever cause it may just be dirty
south pebble
Damn, the only thing I can think of would be the switch isn’t working properly. ...
none
it happens very infrequently, but when it happens, it happens all the time
sand pagoda
Hm, if you put that switch under a different letter, I wonder if it would still happen. Also, if the switch is the problem I believe you should be able to find the switch for like $1 or less per, if anywhere sells single switches

i wanna add volume controls to the keyboard
my first attempt of trying to make a macropad with 3 volume knobs a like a midi was a fail on windows =.=

Depends on the keyboard more than anything. I tried using AHK

nope because none of them worked and every method I found on stackexchange etc failed. Most people attempting to do so end up in failure for various reasons.

Having a masterknob is the easy part

ive had a dell keyboard that had a specific button for volujme control

how do keyboard manufacturers program it then>

Having a knob directed at specific program is something different

cant i also do the same thing with other keys?

Some of this is going to depend on the physical microprocessor on your kbm. I use using an elite-c which uses QMK
If I go back and work on that project again, I'd be looking more into how midi controllers are programmed because somehow they can do it
that is about where I ended up at in my conclusion
Someone actually posted a github link in 2022: https://github.com/radj307/volume-control
Use at your own risk per any github thing. But that wasn't there when I was doing my project. I'll be checking this out soon ol

I have software to do that

my brother uses a headset while i prefer earphones so our volume preferences are different

Want to get a mechanical keyboard in a couple months (first time). Definitely going for a 95 or 100% layout. Unlike most people I like laptop keyboards and I use a logitech MX (mesh) at the moment at home. What's a good beginner keyboard with easy-to-press keys? I was considering a Keychron K10 / K5 but not sure if low profile keyboards are for me
autumn agate
If you’re looking to upgrade later on I wouldn’t go for low profile
The keychron v series are pretty solid for the price
But if you’re used to laptop keys a low profile board is still fine
long tapir
Seconding Keychron for its great affordability. If it's your first mechkey, I'd suggest a middle of the road sort of tactile switch. And to be honest, there's nothing wrong with Cherry/Gateron browns.

It’s either 0305 or 0705, I forget
amber tartan
7305 or 3035(?)
cunning anvil
oh right i think i was going hotswap because most builds were plateless
for prototyping reasons
glossy sandal
lemme go check
glossy sandal
3035 is the jam
cunning anvil
but anyways the katana60 makes me really want that symmetrical row stagger
amber tartan
3305*
cunning anvil
3035 is the jam
thAX
glossy sandal
It’s either 0305 or 0705, I forget
I should’ve stuck with this
glossy sandal
one has thinner sockets so not good
one is longer, one is shorter, both can accept wide pins
cunning anvil
oh @glossy sandal theres also the macropad/split 40 + encoder nrf xiao build i was thinking about
glossy sandal
whar
glossy sandal
have you seen rp2040?
cunning anvil
yeah
cunning anvil
probably gonna be using kb2040 over pro micros in the near future
its an ARM instead of AVR processor
glossy sandal
oo
cunning anvil
ssupports uf2 bootloader, so flashing is literally drag and drop (still gotta compile stuff but whatev)
glossy sandal
oh that seems kinda lit
most of the pcbs I use are plug and play so I can’t really get hyped over that
seems like all the rage for people interested in that kinda stuff though
cunning anvil
its also kinda cheaper to get rp2040 for the integrated mcu boards
makes it real nice to do gb with em ig
glossy sandal
hmm
cunning anvil
theres so many mcu boards i wanna try tbh
cunning anvil
atmega32u4
nice
but theyre getting hard to get it seems? or thats what ive heard
classic mcu though
good support
glossy sandal
nah hiney will always be supported
cunning anvil
hiney?
glossy sandal
most compatible keyboards use universal pcbs (like hiney)
cunning anvil
what are universal pcbs
glossy sandal
more like a pcb standard I guess
instead of some proprietary pcb it uses a standard pcb like a h88
these are usually sold without a pcb because they can be used with different pcbs
glossy sandal
because they use the same mounting points, usb c ports, etc
cunning anvil
with a case? or second pcb
glossy sandal
take h87 for example, I can use it in a freyr, in a Jane, etc
glossy sandal
I’m unsure, I don’t pay attention to that kinda stuff
cunning anvil
i could? i wanna test that they work first though, and the only one ive tested so far is the bad thumb ufo
or at least are wired in a way that it can be worked with
glossy sandal
why not just touch the contacts?
on the back of the pcb
Takes like 10m to test each socket
cunning anvil
true
past vortex
All the sockets.
cunning anvil
dont i need to solder the diodes for that though
or im not entirely sure how that works
cunning anvil
i mean what am i testing for?
cunning anvil
id need to socket the mcu?
glossy sandal
fuc
glossy sandal
cunning anvil
the sea picro is also a candidate
glossy sandal
what’re the differences to this one and the sea picro?
autumn agate
cunning anvil
sea picro has an elite c pinout, 5 more pins 😄
glossy sandal
ooo
cunning anvil
are you kidding me discord

i like designing for the promicro/elite c pinouts bc they seem commonly cloned
cunning anvil
Teensy is my fav dev board. It does like everything.
whatchu do with em btw
past vortex
I’ve used it for a time sever, made a mouse, tested latency.
cunning anvil
consider: split 40 with opposing staggers
glossy sandal
let me find it again
I think that’d be hilarious
and probably comfortable to type on
reminds me a lot of Alice/arisu actually
cunning anvil
i think ill make the opposing stagger unibody with trackball, then if thats comfy to type on ill try it split
glossy sandal
sounds kinda lit
keep me updated, same as all the other projects
this sounds a lot more out of box than the other stuff you’ve done, kind of interested in this one a lot
past vortex
ooh mouse pics? :
I don’t have any mouse picts atm. But here one is soldered usb onto. Got mouse input working on it atm.
cunning anvil

out of the box like, works ootb?
cunning anvil
yeah that's why I'm hesitant to pick it over pure Ortho, but i gotta try it
glossy sandal
best of luck!
An acrylic case would do this one really really well
frosted acrylic is impeccable on split board
cunning anvil
unibody or like, split split
glossy sandal
both
cunning anvil
perhaps
glossy sandal
maybe
cunning anvil
hmm i wonder if i should make the pcb for the split reversible
well that's well into the future
but ill probably make one split or another
what to call it

can you call it abc

anyone know or know how i can find out which type of keycaps a steelseries apex raw 64121 ?
my googlefu fails me
trying to find replacement caps
autumn agate
If it’s cherry Mx style (there’s a cross shaped stem) then majority of keycaps will work
prime steppe
thats what im trying to find out 😄
i have found what hinge type it is, but no idea if that helps me
prime steppe
that would explain my bad googlefu 😄
i have found someone on ebay but there are keys they cant provide

Could anyone recommend me a black or blue keycap set under $50 please

just letting you know i have reported people i have blocked before so let mods deal with your abusive behavior against me
i just do not see the reason to participate in this kind of behavior
boreal rivet

autumn agate
What did anyone do to you
Lol
If anything you’re the one who is supposed to be reported
You’ve harassed and insulted people for things they’ve never said
One person just pointed out how they already said their budget and you asked what budget they had, and that you should probably read before you ask.
This you?

just letting you know every single report has been put forward so mods will decide
i am not gonna participate in toxicity

meh they couldn't even be bothered to design their own molds for the switch mechanism
I wouldn't expect much of it

that looks pretty cool but damn its expensive

Well mold do be spensive
boreal rivet
yeah they're fucking the techbros because its got a screen
pseudo owl
Well mold do be spensive
That’s what it is

the switch module costs like 20 dollars to make

recently got myself a steelseries apex pro so aint gettin a new keyboard any time soon
pseudo owl
Cool!
boreal rivet
That’s what it is
yeah and the keyboard is expensive too
pseudo owl
the switch module costs like 20 dollars to make
Are they using Mx switches or a different mechanism
pseudo owl
yeah and the keyboard is expensive too
I can tell
marble bridge
previously I had only used laptop keyboards 💀

its hall effect for sensing
pseudo owl
Hall effect neat
marble bridge
what benefit is there to hall effect for keyboards?
boreal rivet
the mechanism is just an acrylic piece suspended using a magnetic field
boreal rivet
what benefit is there to hall effect for keyboards?
contactless so no chatter
pseudo owl
Mostly for osu
Even then it minimal
If I wasn’t interested in a chaewon or sana TKL I’d probably go for that
boreal rivet
don't
pseudo owl
For the funsies
pseudo owl
don't
lol
I know
I have plenty of borbs anyways
Eh more of showpiece
If I was loaded
Sure
For showpiece
But I really ain’t
Neat concept tho
sana TKL tho

Would be an endgame for me probs
Or one of bleach’s boards in general
They so cool
boreal rivet
how much is that?
boreal rivet
wow
cunning anvil
how much is flux
boreal rivet
I think like 7-10 boards will be made for the sana
ah so thats how they convince people that its worth the money
pseudo owl
ah so thats how they convince people that its worth the money
Eh not really that
Quality it seems
cunning anvil
I think like 7-10 boards will be made for the sana
what does that mean? wouldn't it be the same layout either way
boreal rivet
he means units made
pseudo owl
Yeah
cunning anvil
wtf
boreal rivet
artificial scarcity as always when it comes to this hobby
cunning anvil
so glad I'm not in that sector of keyboards
pseudo owl
Glorious is artificial scarcity
boreal rivet
its very obvious that the designer limited the quantity to add rarity as an incentive
because it looks like shit and shouldn't be 700
boreal rivet
i'm good
autumn agate
ah so thats how they convince people that its worth the money
It’s K-pop themed, if you’re a die hard K-pop fan you would want one lol

Also it’s a passion project from bleach

Not really
pseudo owl
I don’t really think they care to make hundreds of units but that may just me :)
boreal rivet
yeah an engraving on the weight that probably says sana makes it kpop themed lol
autumn agate
what does kpop themed mean
The 2 boards are based off Korean pop singer idols

It’s a small passion project from bleach, it’s not meant to be a big board
pseudo owl
I don’t really think they care to make hundreds of units but that may just me :)
Especially if they hand inspected each one for like an hour or some shit
boreal rivet
and it being pink i guess?
cunning anvil
The 2 boards are based off Korean pop singer idols
that's not clearing anything up, like engrave?
autumn agate
that's not clearing anything up, like engrave?
It’s themed off those idols
I got no clue on K-pop don’t ask me lol
cunning anvil
and my keyboards are themed on intrusive thoughts
boreal rivet
Especially if they hand inspected each one for like an hour or some shit
its pretty much impossible to inspect a keyboard for more than 10 minutes and not find an imperfection if there were any tho
pseudo owl
Lol that’s why I added some shit I guess

Oh….

that korean matching ano
We love that 45 degree angle
pseudo owl
muted karma
Why does the angle look so steep
it's 13 degree lol
pseudo owl
Ah i see
muted karma
also that back design makes it look even taller
pseudo owl
No kidding
muted karma
tbh I am fine with 11 on the orion
pseudo owl
Im sure if I got diff angle
It’d look not as steep
However for me 13 degrees would be pushing it
I can vibe with 7-8
Haven’t tried anything higher tho
Only one way to find out
Maybe someone will have a diff typing angle borb at the keeb meet I’m going to
muted karma
I mean you can just increase it to try out by stuffign something under your board lol
pseudo owl
oh lol
