Eurgh, I certainly wouldn't want to #type on this #keyboard , it genuinely looks awful! https://hackaday.com/2022/10/24/one-of-t..
So #mnt have just #released a new #pocketreform #netbook like #device https://mntre.com/media/reform_md/2022-0.. I love everything about it - other than the #aligned #keyboard #layout https://tuxphones.com/mnt-pocketreform-o.. The #performance is pretty good and hopefully the #battery lasts a while too. Very cool!
Ouch, it may be possible to #read #keystrokes by #listening to a #mechanical #keyboard https://hackaday.com/2022/05/06/audio-ea.. Not good...
Loving these #custom #mechanical #keyboard #switches https://hackaday.com/2022/02/08/3d-print.. Still seems like they are far too #complex ... I still think there is some #improvement to be had in this space...
A #minimal #viable #linux #terminal that #theoretically could cost as low as $15 #dollars https://hackaday.com/2022/02/04/the-fift.. Honestly I think it might be better off without the #keyboard , maybe #replace it with a #numpad T9 #layout and have a #touchscreen instead. The #idea certainly has legs though!
These 3D #printed #key #switches are absolutely awesome! https://hackaday.com/2022/01/17/3d-print.. By the time I go to get a new #mechanical #keyboard - I might even be able to build it completely from scratch! I would probably look to #simplify the #design though, #reduce number of #parts , #reduce number of #magnets , #reduce #halleffect #sensors , etc. Potentially you could build a #forever #keyboard though!
This is a really nice mini- #keyboard based on the #raspberry #pico https://hackaday.com/2022/01/10/raspberr.. Would be awesome to see a #keycap implemented for this too! Maybe a little too #small to be #useful - although I imagine it could also be interesting with #intelligent #decoding #ai so that #key #mashing doesn't matter so much.
Looks like #pine 's #pinephone now has a #keyboard https://www.pine64.org/2021/12/31/happy-.. This would now make the #device a #compelling #linuxpda - something I wish I now owned in retrospect given my own #phone #battery #failed and the #pinetab tried to kill itself.
A really nice #custom #keyboard https://hackaday.com/2021/11/21/slick-ke.. Again, really makes me want to create my own!
Very interesting #pipico #micro #keyboard #implementation https://www.40percent.club/2021/10/pipi-.. The #pipi #mherkin (or #micro #gherkin ) could make for a cool #keyboard base for sure.
After repairing this #mechanical #keyboard recently and posting an #article about it under #keyboardrepair - it appears that the `s` #key is now also dying: https://coffeespace.org.uk/projects/keyb.. It's now getting more and more pressing that I get a #replacement - I'm not sure this #keyboard will survive many more #fixes and any more of my awful #soldering !
Apparently #tumblr are doing something fucky with #keyboard #input https://twitter.com/foone/status/1440014.. There is absolutely no need to #override something that already works *fine* ... I think they pay these #ui people way too much. The #hackernews #comments are a great read too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=286..
Okay, this #optical #keyboard is a super cool solution to a problem I didn't even know existed for #typing #underwater https://hackaday.com/2021/09/15/take-a-l..
Insanity, what is the point on working on faster and faster #software and #operatingsystems if the bloody #keyboard itself adds ridiculous #latency for no apparent reason? https://danluu.com/keyboard-latency/ This is why we need more #affordable #opensource #keyboards ... After this #phd I will definitely be looking into creating my own #hardware - the current situation simply won't be tolerated.
Very cool, a new type of #mechanical #keyboard using " #maglev " technology, i.e. #hovering using #magnets https://hackaday.com/2021/08/02/mag-lev-.. In theory these could last a #lifetime as it does away with #contacts and #springs - both of which tend to fail in other designs. Very cool to see such a project come out of the #hacker community.
This #keyboard #pcb #generator is very cool and I very seriously considered using it: https://hackaday.com/2021/07/12/3d-print.. I did choose to buy one in the end though, building a custom keyboard *and* #laptop seems far too ambitious! The #chunkboipro will sport an SK61 optical switch #mechanical #keyboard: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10050019..
