What about using a key remapping utility like SharpKeys or KeyTweak?

Did you install the Windows driver designed for the Matias Tactile Pro for use with the Matias Mini Tactile Pro? They are different products.

Doesn't SHIPTRACKED help with shipping anxiety? Or do you not receive the tracking information?

These are not the first Phase II caps to be delivered. For example, phinix already received the caps last month: post396118.html#p396118

PSA: There are several new apps/services that might help the payments process. For example, Revolut and Transferwise Borderless provide something like global virtual bank accounts. So if you are based in Europe, you can get your own US domestic routing/account number. Which means you can send and ...

It only sends the count of how many times each key is pressed, and not the actual keys. It is still a violation of privacy, but not as bad as the clickbait headlines suggest.

I see what is happening here... Everybody is paying $5 less in order to end up with a $5 discount!!

I don't think a material like PBT deforms at random. Surely there are factors that cause the deformation, which can be controlled. It is not clear why they can't be controlled, or controlled in a cost-effective way.

It is strange that an expensive high-end product like a Topre keyboard can't ship ...

I hear this excuse all the time, but it doesn't make any sense to me. Why should shrinkage affect the ability to produce large PBT keys?

Surely manufacturers can simply account for the shrinkage in their measurements. If the underlying reason is, as I suspect, that the shrinkage is random and ...

Signature Plastics just announced in an email that they "won't be restocking" the Granite Alps... Looks like this is the last call.

At least they could have produced a few more of the Common Kit to help sell the addons.

So much of contractual agreements is about the intent of the parties, not the literal wording. Which is why I think the amendment clause is a red herring in this case.

Based only on what has been made public, it seems like Massdrop was happy for Input Club to sell the switches in the I:C shop, and ...

I'd love to stand up for the little guy... But in this case I haven't seen any evidence of wrongdoing from Massdrop.

Just because one side is a group of passionate hobbyists doesn't automatically make them the good guys. Hobbyists do stupid shit all the time.

And just because the other side is a ...

If you sit down as a company to craft your TOS, and then insert that, then it's a premeditated Bad Company.

Let's stop using eBay as well, because their User Agreement is pretty similar:

I don't personally use any of the right hand modifier keys, including Shift.

However I note that ISO users will make heavy use of the right "Alt Gr". And many touch typists will make use of the right Shift, as that is a recommended technique.

And yet, I wonder about left-handed people... Whether ...

I hope the seller didn't just mix switches from different boards and treat them as the same!

Looks like you might have the "rare white switchplate" version: wiki/Alps_SKCM_Blue

What you might need to know about modern Linux users is that most of them have adapted to use the standard PC layout, and they like to remap keys.

Most Linux programs make use of Control and Alt, and so they are required. As for the Super (Windows) key, it is mainly reserved to control graphical ...

The "Delete" key above the Return key is like a "Backspace" key on PC. It refers to "Backwards Delete", not forwards delete like on a PC keyboard.


Do you mean on the HHKB or the Sun Type 3?

If the Sun Type 3's Delete "is like a Backspace key on PC" ( backward delete ), then why is there a ...

The Matias Quiet Click uses dampers too. Not sure whether they are manufactured to the same spec, but they might be a good source of pristine dampers.

Here is a comparison photo from the wiki:

The Sun 3 keyboard appears to have had a Delete key (rather than Backspace) above the Return key, so I guess the HHKB's practice of putting a Backspace there is only a partial innovation:

It is in fact Delete on the HHKB also, where ...

Linux started life as an effort to get UNIX working on commodity PC hardware, including standard PC keyboards.

UNIX applications made use of keys that had no equivalent on IBM's keyboards. Keys like Alt Graph, Compose, and Meta (diamond) were not used by IBM's early operating systems or the later ...

Can this be fixed by applying an appropriate lubricant to the sliders? Or is swapping out the switch the only solution?

Mr.Nobody:

European countries surely face new challenges from refugee crisis. But the video that you cite is not a useful or informative account of the actual problem, and does not even discuss any solutions that are being proposed.

If your point is simply that the European refugee crisis is ...

One thing I admire about Chinese civilization is they are not petty about sharing good ideas. If they discover something that works then they have no problem with copying it so that everybody can benefit from it.

Whereas Western culture promotes the delusion that people are morally entitled to ...

7bit has to pay SP in (real) buck$.

That is why many merchants who accept Bitcoin use a payment processor like BitPay, which automatically converts Bitcoin payments into your preferred currency.

bitpay is just another party, who is taking fees ...

Perhaps you don't understand the challenges ...

A couple of random thoughts...

Would it be possible to do payments in bitcoin? It might remove the need for a volunteer collector, but the volatility could be a PITA.
Unless bitcoins can be used to pay German customs, shipping material, or postage, I think it would create more problems than it ...
