Bunny?

 

it is a bunny, it isn't from the ones I bought from his recent sale, though I think it is the same as some of those that were sold in his recent sale.

Limited Edition Cherry Board

discuss!

 

I don't see any use in wireless keyboard, unless it also has an integrated trackpad or something. No reason for it unless you are using it for an htpc. Having a wireless keyboard to be used on a desk 100% is utterly pointless as it is stationary unlike a mouse with its annoying cabletangle catching. If one does not like unsightly cable, use one that is pretty instead.

 

Nice Bunny cap. Looks tasty.

 

Not as good as a KidMod Cake. /troll

To Jing - I believe the CM series of keyboards don't have complete compatibility with custom caps, due to the space or something? (I'm sure someone will confirm or deny this pretty quickly.)
If it were me, Filco all the way!

 

Not the keycap... the limited edition cherry board I linked.

This is my massive work keyboard (and my floral bedspread):



I have a stepped capslock coming for this, and a cmyk gmk set.

Apparently I am playing with my camera. as you can see there is a space issue between F11 and F12

 

My bad! What is with that 'MX inside logo'.

 

Hot dayum that's an epic board! I've still got that stepped caps lock if you want it.

 

I have one incoming with black writing on it - yours is white isn't it?



This is its party trick! hahahhahhaa.

 

Ah yes, good point. I guess you could use it in contrast.

 

That's a very definite answer to a very personal question. Here's why I like a wireless.

I move my desk around a lot during the day. Between typing I will be filing as well and my keyboard will be moved around as I organise what I've world on and will often have 3-4 large piles of documents scattered over my desk. When I was wired this made even more of a mess without the wires it's far tidier.

At home I have a similar situation when occasionally my desk will play host to accounting study material which is around 2 lever arch files at a time meaning the keyboard needs to go elsewhere from the gaming spot. So I have my hhkb lite which takes up less space.

But yes I agree that it's a luxury but its one that you do get used to.

That said I think that the nicely braided Mech keyboards on a nice tidy desk look great. Just not as practical when you're studying.

 

Nice. What are the top row of "F"s for?

 

You took those caps off the beautiful cherry board I sold you and put them on that disgusting board?!! Blasphemy!

I am thinking about putting them back on the cherry as it is nice. this board isn't disgusting, it's just different

The top row are macro keys - this is my work board, I use the macros quite alot.

 

Aha! Macros. Makes sense!

 

Did you put filters on the LEDs or did you swap them out or what? I've been thinking about modding my board because while white LEDs are nice, they are also very plain.

 

swapped them out and changed the resistors where necessary

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction on info about DIY keyboard building? I'm thinking about building a diy number pad. With a slight twist.
I'm hoping it would be possible to have one where I can plug my Pure into the number pad, which in turn then connects to the PC. It should be possible, just not sure I'd be able to fully pull off a decent build. But it would be fun to try

 

There is a numpad GB in planning over at GH, pretty sure that it has a PCB schematic which you could use. Just add a teensy and away you go
