It's a pretttty sizable difference, now that Tp4 has 2 identical drives to compare.

The anno sample looks awesome! Hopefully they can keep that quality up with the actual bottoms! Yeah I'd imagine it's one of the busier times of the year for the manus, 1- 2 months isn't the worst wait though. Also looking forward to see the PCB designs when you get those together. Anyways still loving this project, I'll definitely be having as many people I can at out next local Pittsburgh meetup take a look at it! Great work on this so far, hope iy keeps going smoothly for you!
It would be amazing to see it at the Pittsburgh meetup! Don't know what time of the year that usually takes place, but hopefully you'll have your unit in time for the next meetup. I guess manufacturers are especially busy during the summer, but I'm not completely sure to keep it honest. As always, I greatly appreciate your support <3

Seems like a straight forward thing to have Maxxed out on given what's possible.
In theory, they can do 4K 325hz 8bit, or 270hz 10bit, on the latest 4-lane HBR20. ~77.4 Gbps
That would be pretty awesome. 3DLut that can power that in gsync motion would be difficult, you'd need some pretty powerful chips, but it's certainly within the realm of possibility. But static is probably more than enough, would artists care their pen tip has a slightly different shade on the leading edge for 1/300th of a second, I doubt it. so they probably don't need that pixel boost strobe compensation table.
But now that entry lvl artists are replaced by AI, they will be too poor to afford such things.
Without the individuals to drive demand, it falls to corporations, and if you supply corporate, the prices will massively inflate, and we're back to wacom prices. And all innovation stops.

+1. Also Perestroika.
I'd like to see R3 PgUp, R4 PgDn included in the base kit for us 65% mains (I'd get a lot more mileage out of those than e.g. numpad =, 1.5u Supers or 40s keys) — but at least they're present in the extension kit, so I'm not going to complain too much

Making Stuff Together! / Re: Need help with bricked keyboard.
« Last post by zegonix on Wed, 16 July 2025, 03:09:57 »well the chips seem to have custom branding. this makes it very hard to reverse engineer anything. you might find information on how to readout the registers with a debugger and compare them to common architectures to maybe identify the chips.
my recommendation: get a new board and double check, that the chips used are compatible with qmk/zmk and a configuration for either is openly available.

When you are trying to identify some chip then you can go to octopart.com and search some chip markings there. You will get a ton of results and you must do an educated guess what it could be. Then investigate the data sheet to confirm/reject your hypothesis.
If the company does not cooperate and you cannot already find a solution on the web then the keyboard is ripe for a garbage bin. Trying to reverse engineer it is likely more work than taking some open firmware and open hardware design and adjust them; then replace the whole PCB. Even this option is too much work. Dispose it and get a new one. Maybe you can salvage keycaps or switches if you are bored.
