I got a keyboard kit but forgot to get switches I guess? Ordered a bunch of them and then I have to figure out how it actually assembles. I hope I remembered to get a hot-swap board…

I can do basic soldering, I'm just impatient (and not very skilled, but that's what practice is for) it's just a kit off AliExpress to get started with: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001790617202.html with these keycaps: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004347380092.html I also got this keycap set, but my daughter is threatening me with pain if I put them on the computer. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004568944999.html

Jonny 290 posted:still on 14, quit daoc (wanted the numpad for group targeting). fear not on 14 you need numpad-0 for activating the thing that’s closest to you but hidden by a crowd of jerks! along with the rest of the numpad you can power through things like handing in greens to the GC or such use the power! (or get a separate numpad like I did, so I can grab it when I need it and otherwise live the TKL life)

Kvantum posted:I recently bought a Keychron Q10 and it's drat near my endgame. 75% Arisu, got my F-row, got my arrow keys, got a volume knob in the top left. My only real issue is no right Ctrl key, and I do use several right handed Ctrl and other key shortcuts. Feels like there is room for it in the bottom right, too. They just chose not to put one in. I can't find a Q10 kit for sale anywhere right now, it's nuts. Also sort of nuts: Woot has a 60% analog keyboard up for pre-order now. https://next.wooting.io/wooting-60he Oh, they had a full-sized one already: https://next.wooting.io/wooting-two-he Subjunctive fucked around with this message at 19:48 on Nov 30, 2022 |

help my q10 arrived and I put switches in it but now I need to find a keycaps set that has the alice space bar and shift sizings, and ideally the extra 'b'. what search terms do I want for this? (ideally they're doubleshot pbt with the icons on the front of the keys, but I could upgrade to that later) E: switches are "Clickiez 40g" https://zealpc.net/products/clickiez?variant=39379354026048

Kvantum posted:I'm using the Cerakey ceramic caps well of course that's a thing. might be heavy enough to trigger the 40gs themselves, heh did you get those extra keys from Cerakey, or mix and match from other stuff?

of course people mod switches with respect to “key profile”, the q10 is listed at having OSA profile, and my newly ordered key caps are Cherry. is this going to work fine, or did I just accidentally buy things for the next keyboard?

oh yeah, I’ve heard about lubing and have seen cute little brushes for it! maybe something about films or something too? if I took apart my switches I would lose essential parts of half of them and I didn’t purchase with that in mind

the Keychron OSA profile keys aren’t listed as compatible with the q10, oddly. maybe just a web site error

I’ll happily compete with you in a huge-thumb-off, but I basically treat it like a bigger dpad and get used to sequences of placement for ability chains. I’d love to be able to build my own with a separate middle button from mouse wheel which I can never click without also scrolling, pick the activation force for different buttons, lube and film my switches

Got the key caps in today so I finally have a usable Q10. Now thinking about a 60% one to use with my work laptop, once I get that part of the desk re-arranged.

uh oh, loaded my first customized firmware onto the q10 and it's really fun (it would be more fun if `qmk flash` worked and I didn't have to use the QMK Toolbox app) this won't go anywhere good I'm sure

nudgenudgetilt posted:my only beef with keychron is they still haven't provided a way to gently caress with the rgb leds from your host system. i have my laptop keyboard pulse different colors based on various notificaitons/conditions and wish i could do the same on the desktop you could do this with QMK firmware because it can receive raw HID data from the host and act on it…

I got the orange-and-grey from Drop too, with bone alphanumerics, love them my gk21s numpad is hosed up somehow. if I tap keys quickly, like rolling my fingers 3-2-1 or 6-5-4 it outputs 1-2-3 or 4-5-6 (or 5-4-6). there's also a bit of a delay in response, and if I tap 0000 I'm very likely to drop a keypress I can't find updated firmware for it to try, but it happens on both my Win 11 machine and my Linux one, via both bluetooth and USB anyone know what I might be able to do about this?

I didn’t know this, but so far my q10 has been perfect (other than me still needing to figure out how to bind something as numlock; need to read the QMK source more deeply) got a shipping notification for my analog Wooting keyboard the other day. hoping I have time to hack analog car steering into cyberpunk or something I play

the QMK/VIA programming isn’t really worth it for Genshin Impact farming macros or whatever but layers are pretty nice to have especially if you’re using anything smaller than 101
