a quick question about soarer's converter, can i simply connect a usb keyboard to it if i'm looking to remap things at that level?
if so, how? what clk source would i use?
Isn't the whitefox going to start shipping out soon?

>Waiting for New Caps
:'^
bought a planck off massdrop, now it's time to bu some solder and flux and whatnot. Any recommendations for brands and types of solder and flux. I want to full retard lvl 3 nasa spec soldering on this project
>>54102191
yes, connect them as follows:
usb vcc -> teensy vcc
usb d+ -> teensy clock
usb gnd -> teensy gnd
usb d- -> teensy data
>>54103012
brand doesn't matter, if you're just starting out you're going to suck and no amount of money spent will save you. take some old hardware and practice soldering instead of blowing your money. any simple solder and flux will do.
>>54102979
Did that even go to production?

>>54103180
no bully

>>54103020
Keep in mind this will only work if the board is already both USB and PS2 capable.
>>54103167
What kind of materials did you use?
>tfw can finally get a keyboard rotation going
I'd use the Shine 4 too, but fuck it's huge.
>>54103355
fimo polymer clay. sanded some flat keycaps (from my mx board 3.0) down to make them flat and superglued the baked fimo onto them
people make insane stuff from polymer clay, like pic related
>>54103180
They honestly don't. Compared to that shitty corrupted master or that current groupbuy they look pretty good. I still wouldn't want one, even as a gift, but they aren't worse than most other artisans in any way.
>>54103223
Learn to focus.
>>54103431
Nice. I have a bunch of mx board 3.0 keycaps (and a half-disassembled board) laying around.

About to pull the plug on this. Only problem is that I can't find any reviews and I've never heard of the brand. Anyone know anything about this guy?
>>54103647
You must be quite damn new to this if you've never heard of vortex before.
Go right ahead, they make good keyboards.
>>54103157
it reached moq
>>54103686
No they don't. They are pretty much the worst manufacturer of them all. All of their products got some major, unexcuseable weaknesses.
The Pok3r for example is way louder than it should be, due to the piss poor case and don't even get me started on the overall quality. Rusting switchplates, case isn't anodized and sometimes needs bending in order to sit flat on the desk and the keycaps, while being made of thick PBT, have a horrible font which is also blurred OOTB and gets worse with time, since their infill is probably the cheapest they could find.
Smaller mistakes like one STRG and one CTRL key on ISO-DE keysets should be mentioned as well I guess
Every single doubleshot PBT keyset of them has warped legends.
They promised to bring their backlit keyset to ISO, which then was only ABS in a facebook post later and to this day you can't buy either.
Fuck Vortex, they are shit.
>>54103647
I don't get why they are selling doubleshot PBT keysets, but this keyboard comes with ABS ones, laser engraved of course. If you actually want MX Greys you don't really have a lot of options. I don't know how mk com handels their returns, but if they are obliging, you can give it a try I guess. Except for the Greys the keyboard is way too expensive for what it offers.
>>54103180
All artisan keycaps look awful.
>>54103509
To be fair I completely agree with him. That keyboard is p. cute, but if you're only going to focus on a few millimeters of cable then none of us get to see the overall cuteness.
Hey swissbro I got into raw mangos :3
Also my hhkb is still going strong~~
>>54104253
but you have already seen it plenty of times
>>54104192
Vortex is just the US distrubuitor of some chink companies. Everything you mentioned is manufactured by iKBC, while Vortex One is actually KBtaling One, totally different company.

It really is
>>54104517
did you ever at least try MX Greys on a single key, mounted in a keyboard? It is so damn heavy, and I'm a heavy typer, I like Greens and Whites for example. But Greys are too heavy, even for spacebars imo.
>>54104517

Maybe I'll have to find somewhere to read it online. I've got a lot of series I need to start reading because there's no chance of them getting a second season.

>>54105624
What the FUCK is wrong with typewriter caps?
>>54105624
none of these, but very close to pull the trigger on a USB-cable
>>54105650
They're ugly hipster keycaps with bad stability and unergonomic feel for gaming or typing.
>>54105650
i think he means datamancer caps.
>>54105624
this is a great checklist :^
>>54105712
>>54105688
Oh I didn't know that even existed. That's autistic. I thought he mean Selectric look alike keys

Going to build a numpad/programmable macro with alps and another one with gateron blacks sometime in the future.
And they're all damn good memes, I tell you.
>>54105924
If 60%, TKL, and 100% are all memes what's left?
>>54105924
memes you HAVEN'T fallen for.
>>54105924
>haven't
>>54105987
>>54106010
Oh.
None come to mind.
>>54105982
40% and below.
>>54105624
Have already fallen for the 60% meme and I can say I can work normally on that and I kinda like it, although I would suggest to anyone if you don't move your keyboard that much a tkl would work just fine.
Would fall for glorified rubber domes if I was willing to spend the money and I am willing to fall for the blanks in the future maybe. Other than that, no.
>>54105712
>datamancer
I really pride myself on not giving a fuck what people do with their lives, but steampunk stuff makes me so irrationally angry I have no idea what it is. It's all so offensively ugly. Like nothing else causes this feeling. Someone could have an entirely blank 40% keyboard with rainbow leds and some ugly removeable cable and I wouldn't think a single ill thing of them. Someone could have a Razer keyboard consisting entirely of hand made artisan keys and I would be happy for them. But steampunk stuff is so violently, offensively, ugly I have trouble coming to terms that it even exists.
I got a ganss with mx blues. thanks for all your advice and help /mkg/
>>54106130
literally no reason for your hand to be in shot
is this kawaii enough?

That's an awful picture of her too, what was she even thinking?
What is a MX Silent switch?
What keycaps should I get for this thing?
I've been thinking of dye-subbed DSA from PMK with blue (or light pink) modifiers are white alphas.
>>54106277
she's always ugly as fuck. you can't polish a turd.
>>54106186

>>54106369
I know, can't they at least let us have mechanical keyboards?
>>54106184
yes
you even took the pic on some wood and everything
>>54106130
i remember when i got rainbow shit keycaps to shitpost with
that was funny
>>54106186
>males
It needs a hand in the picture, and maybe a friend in a baseball cap trying to look gangster.
>/g/
It needs shaved legs in rainbow pantyhose in the picture.
>>54106325
Those hiragana ones from the 104 keys Japanese one
Oh wait you betrayed the topre
>>54106465
well not always rainbow.
i prefer to match my keycaps.
its fashion you wouldn't understand
>>54106465
>It needs shaved legs in rainbow pantyhose in the picture.
Well if >>54106130 had just done that we wouldn't have a problem
>>54106409
you inspired me to get these keycaps.
this is wood panel anon btw.
>>54106130
what polish is that?
>>54106477
>you betrayed the topre
I'm using my HHKB right now actually.
It's nice to rotate between keyboards.
>Bought an HHKB a while back
>Occasionally check these threads
>Feels bittersweet about reaching endgame
It's a great keyboard. It's just unfortunate that I'll never be able to make that journey to where I am now again. From pleb shit to my ducky to this.
What's the cheapest I could build my own 100% board? I want to mix switches and I already have my caps, does anyone sell just the PCB, components, plate, and chasis?
>>54106549
You literally just bought something. Get over it
>>54106549
Same. Got my hhkb in January and now I just check in once a fortnight and get bored
Hhkb is just so good
>>54106503
ayyy
haven't seen you post in a while.
you got the miamis?
that's fuckin awesome.
best keycaps
>>54106325
What will it be used for?
>>54106749
Just whatever I use my keyboard for normally.
Linears are damn nice for gaymen, but I also use it for writing emails and shitposting.
anyone else use their index finger to press the space bar, I had no idea it was an uncommon thing until just now
I never really formally learned to type, but since I'm a loser like everyone else here, I generally spend quite a lot of time on my computer so I can type quite quickly (80-100wpm) mostly touch typing. Some times I'll have to look if it's a special character I don't use a lot. This guy https://youtu.be/wsDtL7v6AC0 types exactly like I do, which is what made me realize it isn't normal.
>>54107024
I used to do that, until I mentioned it here and got bullied. Then I started using my thumb. I don't regret it, using your thumb makes far more sense.
>do typing tests on tenfastfingers and get 100-120
>feel pretty smug
>try the closure test on https://typing.io/ and get 30wpm exactly
how much practice will it take me to type actual words and lines of code as quickly as I can type meaningless 1-3 syllable words?
>>54103368
>keyboard rotation
But... why? Is this what autists do?
>>54107024
>>54107083
apparently I have long fingers or short thumbs? typing space with right index finger is way easier
also, granite shipping when
>>54104475
as long as there's no fucking gay socks fuccboi :^)
>>54107213
>>54107083
>>54107024
If the word ends on the left side I usually use my left thumb, if it ends on the right side I use my right index finger. This happened naturally, if I force myself to use proper posture I can tell that at some point I would probably be able to type better and faster if I practiced doing it the "right" way but I can't be assed.
>>54107202
Well what does it look like to you?
>>54106785
Do you like SA?
https://deskthority.net/wiki/R6_leftovers
>>54107213
>typing space with right index finger is way easier
That's just because you're used to it.
if I want DSA caps i have to get some kind of meme color scheme, right? i can't just get plain black DSA?
>>54107342
I've thought about that, but I don't think that'd look very good on a floating keys keyboard, and I'd also prefer to have something a bit more low-profile.
>>54107369
graphite are plain white
>>54107202
>>54107272
the answer is yes
>>54107396
I guess so, though it wouldn't match against my black keyboard
oh well, guess i can't get a meme shape without a meme color
>>54107395
I don't think anything looks very good on the floating-key design, so what's your point?
Got a new "wrist rest" for attending aws summit in Chicago today. It's also a place to take jot down important notes if I need to.
>>54107613
My point is that I want some new keycaps, what's yours?
>>54107863
BUY ROUND 6, MAYBE IF 7BIT GETS MORE MONEY IT'LL GET PRODUCED FASTER
>I'm seriously considering paying at least $200 just for key caps
I never thought I'd reach this point in my life
>>54107871
If I felt like waiting ages for doubleshot ABS I'd get the Hana DSA set on lagdrop.f
>>54108057
DSA is substantially thinner and not sculpted.
>>54108127
Yes, but I'm not really interested in SA either.
Any other recommendations? I want to try something else than the regular OEM profile, something else that isn't SA.
>>54107225
ofc there is man
>>54108174
I just don't think there's anything particularly interesting running right now.
>>54104475
Dammit.
