Minila Granite ?

There was a granite colored dsa pbt group buy matt3o organized. It fits the minila layout because he added a 3u spacebar and 1u shift in a special kit. Normally it's pretty hard to get replacement keycaps for an ISO minila (especially with this beauty)

This picture is from round 1 with my Ducky G2Pro.
The round 2 keycaps support the minila layout. (Which weren't produced yet, but the group buy is over...)

That's an adaptable set, all right! I only have one keyboard that's beyond Granite's reach, and it's not even MX…

Could someone please test if its possible to remap both Function keys with Alt (windows 7).
I use Alt a lot and this remap would make this a great keyboard for me.

If it can be only done with software remap (Autohotkey) i would also be happy

Fn keys don't get passed to the computer except on Mac keyboards. Unless there's a DIP switch remap or similar, you'd have to replace the controller, and I don't think there's any third-party controllers for the Minila Air.

Thank you for the info. I was looking at https://github.com/jonhiggs/ml67/ but its quite a lot of work :)

And that's only for wired Minilas anyway.

IMHO DSA isn't best profile for touchtyping however.

Hey guys, I'm trying to put together keycaps from the granite keycap set drop and I was hoping someone could verify the packs + key sizing that I've put together in this pic (which i found online -- credit is not mine). I'm sure this will help others in the future as well. Please let me know if something is wrong or if you have any suggestions, thanks!

+1 in terms of number of sets to fully cover Minila layout. But!

There is no one set containing two FN x1,25 caps!
In this particular case one x1,25FN comes from TextMods and second x1,25FN — from TextProMods.

So IMHO image has mistake in color marks placement.

2U Shift comes from Specialty Keys :)

Thanks matt3o for verifying and pandp for being right on the both accounts! I was going to use the PN key as my second function. My other options are to see if anyone has an extra FN key they'd be willing to part with, or getting a blank pack. You're also right about the 2U shift being in the specialty keys :)

Just for reference the following kits will cover the KB (sans extra FN key):

Common Kit, Text Modifiers, Specialty Keys, and Text Pro Modifiers. Blank pack as well if you want want matching 1.25u keys for function.

Thank you all guys. So if I was going to buy some keys from Round 5/Grab (those still available), which are the most suitable ones? I am willing to change shifts(both left 2U and right).
Again, thanks.

Since I'm in Tokyo for a few days, I had to pick one "to try" and I love it. Yep the layout is weird but I'll use it with my iPad mainly, to write, not to code.

Anyway, I picked up the retro set, and I wanted to know if I'll cover 100% of it with this:

Small Spacebars
Pro Burgundy Mods
Retro Burgundy

Took Burgundy Numberpad & Big spacebar "just in case" too :P

and I have a few more questions :-
1-can it works in wired mode ? like even if the batteries are dead

2-the USB ports in the back of the keyboard , what is it's function ?

3-I saw a white version here http://watchmono.com/blog-entry-5003.html , does anyone know where it's sold online ?

4-you said that it pair with up to 3 devices , can it switch between these devices and how ?

I'll answer since I just got mine.

1. no wire possible. Get batteries. :) it's classic stuff you can have 2 spare somewhere. ;)

2. No USB port on mine, the BT don't have any port.

3. Nope. Didn't see it at all in Japan.

4. FN & number I think but didnt try yet.

The layout is weird but I really like the feeling :)

I need to post my keyboard hunt in japan, soon. :P
