Title: Captain BadAss' Keycon 2014 Thread [Pictures and Videos Are Up]
Post by: CPTBadAss on Fri, 11 July 2014, 16:01:15
I've finally posted all the pictures and videos I have from the Con.

(Click on the KMAC for the full album :P)

Selectric Mag Card II typing video (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=60489.msg1404113#msg1404113)

Pictures of some of the homies (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=60489.msg1407038#msg1407038)

Keyboards I was really into at the Con (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=60489.msg1407049#msg1407049)

Food pictures, should have taken more! (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=60489.msg1407068#msg1407068)

Want to know more about a keyboard? Let me know in the comments. I think with the Hoffcam and spamming of this thread during the Con, I'm not going to do a big writeup. So if you want to know more please ask :D.


Original OP here
More
I'm probably going to spam this thread like Twitter while I'm at Keycon. Let's see what comes of it. :P.

But seriously, I'm going to post pictures and other stuff here while I'm traveling and at the Con. So if you wanna see something let me know here.

Tonight? I'm arriving around midnight at SFO. But I gotta leave a little early so I can deal with the Friday evening traffic.

Yeah-- it's funny to see so much "embargo" and "NDA" stuff on this.

It's a keyboard.

It uses a known technology.  This is not a market like GPUs, where a week earlier knowledge will allow your aggressive competitors to **** their entire pricing and product offerings to counter you.  Your biggest threat is a company named after a rubber bath toy.

Especially for the mainstream people who are going to outbuy us fifty-to-one on any keyboard product (see: Razer still in business), there's nothing that could possibly be revealed that would be particularly exciting.

Unless there's some terrible secret.  "We hired Kailh to manufacture Toprealike switches, since they did such a great job on MXalike!"  "French Canadian AZERTY is the only layout choice".  "It's actually a real-life Deceipticon, and our world is just a Michael Bay movie"

Baseless conspiracy theories:

1. Coolermaster is discontinuing most of the Cherry MX products and are doing the resellers a solid by letting them deplete their inventory / and or letting existing contracts expire.

2. Someone discovered either a bug or qc issue with the first batch of boards and are now in lock down mode getting them all repaired/updated.  Unlike some very noticeable issues on the other QFR boards (see Newegg/Amazon reviews for boards either DOA or dead weeks later) they must get this premium product right the first time for such an expensive board.

3. Some sort of loop hole in EK's contracts with Leopold that prevent taking pictures/etc for some reason even if only temporarily.

Given such suspicious behavior I do think I'll take a wait and see attitude of what others say of the mass produced version before deciding to buy.

Post by: dorkvader on Sat, 12 July 2014, 23:17:31
About the novatouch, I talked to the guy about it for a bit. Here's the reason.

It's a very new product for them. It is _not_ based on "known" technology. It's also not just a topre keyboard with MX compatible stems. There's some very new and very exciting engineering in there, especially with the stabilizers. Because of this, it's not a finished thing: there's likely more things to change and finalize before they take it to production.

With other products like a filco, or the QFR, it's just a board from an OEM. You just call them, up, talk to them, give them you specs and changes from teh base model and wait for shipments. It's obviously a lot more complicated than that, but it's relatively easy to deal with an OEM like that. Dealing with a japanese company that wants to branch out a little is a new experience for them both, and a lot of relationships have to be set up.

So why does this mean we can't take pictures? it hurts the final product, especially if it's noticeably different. People start to compare the two, people see two versions and get confused about it. It's just a bad idea all 'round. Ideally, no pictures of it should exist at all, aside from some carefully controllerd teaser photos.

The other reason is that this is an entirely new sort of product for them. Until now, they had been targeting the "decent quality and excellent price" sort of market, where it's not 100% top tier, but it's a few steps back from that at a much lower price. The Novatouch is a radical departure from that, as it's a top-tier product, or at least they are aiming it to a top-tier market.

Finally, as a top-of-the-line product, they have to spend a lot of time tweaking it to ensure that it is actually "that" good. That's why the development is taking so long. they are spending a lot of time, effort, and money ensuring that this is indeed as good as they want and especially will also cover as much of the market as possible.

Now keep in mind a lot of this is mainly speculation on my part. I did talk to the guy, and feel like I got a good idea as to what's up. I just think a lot of people are misunderstanding this and especially are underestimating what's going on here.

one thing to note: topre caps will NOT fit on it by design. There's a nub on the slider preventing them. However said nub would be really easy to just shave off....

They said that if the current changes are the final ones it can be out as early as next month, but there may be other updates and it'll add on more time.

keep in mind that that's a 100% best case / fastest scenario. That said, I would expect it to be out in the next few months.

Also keep in mind it has no LEDs for capslock or scrolllock.

I agree but on the other side of the marketing scale---one would want to tread lightly when preparing for a launch such as this.

A delayed launch is much better that immaturely releasing a flawed product IMO--especially in this case when only the niche keyboard communities are generally aware of it.

CM and Topre realistically have one good shot at this. For Topre, the money lost in R & D I reckon is a drop in the bucket. The bigger thorn in the side will be the the negative press potentionally recieved .  Topre is associated with excellence. Can't mar the Image!!  [Typeheaven wut]

Just to clarify why no pics are allowed is because we are treating this as our baby and we want to be as careful as possible.

Also we are not just targetting the mechanical keyboard enthusiast, but attempting to bring keyboard enthusiasm to the mass market. We want to grow this community and the appreciation for better technology.

Most of you have seen pictures from CES/Computex. The minor changes we're doing to final are going under final batch of testing. It's also the reason why we didn't show final packaging ;)

I don't know where this belongs, but this seems to be the most viewed KeyCon thread at the moment.


I had to leave before I could present today.   :rolleyes:   I would love to give my little talk on polymer processing, with a slight "focus" on injection molding, at some point.  I think it seems like the best option currently is to record it and upload it to youtube.  So in case that results in a lot of people missing it, I'm posting here to alert you guys to this fact.  There is still another presentation coming!   :)

Thanks guys.

I was telling input nirvana that I really didn't wanna leave tomorrow. To all the people who came out and hung out, it was real. Saw some old friends and made some new ones. Bay area homies <3 , y'all are incredible. We'll see each other soon and play keyboards and kendama again haha.

If I didn't get to chat with you a lot I hope we can chat more in the forums soon.

If you didn't come out, please show up next con. They're a lot of fun and I think something special.

If you watched the stream or followed this thread, I hope you enjoyed yourself. Thanks for checking it out.

I'll be loading up pictures soon! :D

KEYCON 2014 was an amazing gathering of special people. I'm absolutely astounded at the SAME SHARED QUALITIES of the individuals. It's really quite remarkable, I'm lucky to have witnessed this gathering. A tremendous amount of quality information was presented, strong bonds formed, and future endeavors solidified. I don't know if everyone fully recognizes how incredibly special this community is and how stunning this weekend really was.

On a personal note, I apologize for being quiet/distant/not totally in the present, as I've been extremely tired (working/traveling out of town) and was creating (work) reports on my iphone/ipad during Keycon, but I was still observing, listening, and adsorbing most of the happenings. I have gotten a lot of food for thought in several areas thanks to you Geekers.

Special thanks to Ron for hosting (again), and the Geekers that traveled so far to be here this weekend, (even a couple newbies!)….I hope you long distance travelers found it worthwhile, it was great having you. It's often a tremendous cost of money/time and can be a burden, glad you didn't let it stop you.

I'll contact you Geeks via PM to talk trash about everyone behind their backs.

And it was awesome to meet all you peeps that showed up!  I'm always amazed at how great of people come to these things.  I consider all of you my friends now.

Hello, all. I had a ton of fun attending my first Keycon. Was a blast to hang out with an awesome group of people. I'm glad a lot of people now are planing on buying Kendamas. This event was definitely worth the plane ticket!! I plan on going to Keycon 2015 and will hopefully have a better keyboard game there.  :p

I DID say that...mostly because I was so shocked that a search mission was launched after only 12 minutes! I actually meant too say it was the best USE OF 12 minutes (napping) for a needed recharge. Had barely 4 hours sleep due to picking up/housing out of town Geekers.....

Huge thanks to everyone who came out and especially everyone who facilitated, organized, and presented.  So many cool keyboards.  Great laughs, great food, great friends sharing our love for this hobby.  I am pumped about all the cool keyboards I saw, and my desire to empty my wallet in service of the enjoyment of feeling has never been greater.

Playing text adventures and banning Hoff on jwaz's VT220 was epic.

The tireless kendama advocacy of dorkvader was inspiring.

InputNirvana's booming voice and good natured, larger-than-life personality will echo through the ages.

Haata's self-introduction as the guy who has "all the keyboards" was hilariously spot-on.

Somewhat related to KEYCON 2014

VOTE FOR KENDAMAS ON MASSDROP (http://dro.ps/v/mZac29x)

I added Oozora (JKA certified) and kendamaUSA tribute (better than classic)

For reference these were the kendamas actually at keycon. I had a natural woodgrain ozora, lingj (i think) had a red translucent tribte. CPTBadAtKendama has a blue tribute.

IMO, if you come to KeyCon you accept the unwritten waiver that any pictures can and will be posted online.   ;D  But that was never explicit, so people can make a fuss and that would be fine.

Just got home today. I look forward to seeing a lot of you again when I move to the bay area for school this fall! :cool:

I couldn't have said it better than these guys - I think they sum it up very well. Sure it was cool to see keyboards but it was even more awesome to hang out with a group of cool people for a few hours afterwards before everyone had to head to their hotels/home/plane.

This weekend was amazing.

I was telling input nirvana that I really didn't wanna leave tomorrow. To all the people who came out and hung out, it was real. Saw some old friends and made some new ones. Bay area homies <3 , y'all are incredible. We'll see each other soon and play keyboards and kendama again haha.

All this positive feedback makes me realise what an overwhelmingly friendly and positive group Geekhackers are.

Very community!

So friendship!

Huge thanks to everyone who came out and especially everyone who facilitated, organized, and presented.  So many cool keyboards.  Great laughs, great food, great friends sharing our love for this hobby.  I am pumped about all the cool keyboards I saw, and my desire to empty my wallet in service of the enjoyment of feeling has never been greater.

It was ridiculously cool. I really wish it was 4 days not only 2...mostly because there were so many people and hard to spend quality time with everybody (plus I was beat). There were people I practically avoided because I was beat and couldn't muster much, lol. And that's no fun.

Smasher816 and his Bluetooth HHKB were very impressive, but you missed me hacking at the con while you were stuffing your greedy face with delicious hamburgers.

I repaired Massdrop's tex yoda and did some hacking / testing to see what the spare pad does (just like I said I was gonna do). Vibex helped. It was awesome.

I don't have time to go through my pictures tonight so I'll post this first. This is Haata's Selectric Mag Card II. It's an electric typewriter with a protocol/cable that will allow Haata to convert it to USB. Ask anyone there though. The coolest part was how it felt to type on. I wanted to steal this so bad. Just put it on my shoulder and run out the place like I was looting in a riot :P.

I was comparing this Hi-Pro to the Novatouch next to it. Novatouch is 55g for sure. The stabilizers are really unique. The case is an upgrade to the QFR imo and isn't rubberized. Not QFR case compatible. I put an F2 Blue on the escape and then tried a Cherry cap. They worked great.

I don't think the Novatouch is 55g. Did you get a chance to try the Leopold FC660C at KeyCon? I think they feel very similar to each other.

Edit: @CommonCurt The case on the Novatouch feels quite decent. The keyboard comes with a nice velvet case and they'll most likely throw in a pack of orings. Not sure if the effect was placebo but I felt like there was a small difference even though there shouldn't be a difference when you think about it.

I'm far from a Topre expert. Felt like 55g to me but I can't be sure. I didn't get to try the FC660C. Topre is always on my low priority when I'm at meetups.

I still need to spend a week with Topre.  Hoffman is sending me his FC660C for a while, but it's 45g.  Who knows, maybe I'll become a convert.

First time I tried topre at Keycon and I say that I really like the feel of them. It's hard to really explain the feel of topre but I guess it felt really smooth like pressing down a rubber dome but still having an actuation with it. I believe it was said that the Novatouch was 45g and they did feel a little heavier than the other 45g keyboards there but it might have been the case. The build quality was pretty nice.

Nice.  Yeah I saw some pictures of the packaging with the velvet bag. 

I just pray that it doesn't come with that horrible rubber coating because I know some of the people that got review samples said that the ones they got did have it.

The CM rep said it was 45g. I would prefer the FC660C in terms of feels. They feel heavier(?) and more tactile to me.

I don't think the Novatouch is 55g. Did you get a chance to try the Leopold FC660C at KeyCon? I think they feel very similar to each other.

I'm far from a Topre expert. Felt like 55g to me but I can't be sure. I didn't get to try the FC660C. Topre is always on my low priority when I'm at meetups.

Duuude, I had an FC660C there...   :p

And soon it will be here, right?.....RIGHT?  DAMMIT, SOMEONE SEND ME A TOPRE BOARD ALREADY.

YEP!!!  :D  I've got it packaged up, I just need to find an open post office tomorrow to mail it out!  You're also getting a few other goodies with it.  ;)  (what we had discussed briefly a few months ago but I didn't get around to)

I'm lucky to remember yesterday, so it will all be a surprise to me.

The food was good, but their service was garbage. Bad service makes me so mad

Agreed, service was not excellent, but considering the food, the peeps and the actual restaurant, I had a wonderful time.

Coulda eaten more though!

I agree! Keycon needs to be a week-long event where we can take our sweet time getting sick of each other!

@CPTBadAss, the beamspring was a "displaystation" note the XT layout and dark colourway.
The acoustic KB was from a smith corona "ultrasonic" line of typewriters.
I like prototopre a lot too! I think Brother made it.

I sorta want to try 55g topre. I'm sorta liking the 30g I've been using these last few months. Still don't see what all the fuss is about.

Hey I forgot to ask ...

For those of you who tried out the Novatouch: Was the typing height about the same as the QFR or did it feel like it was lower profile than that?

You should organize your own! there's lots of keyboard people on GH and DT from Europe. I think it's be a lot of fun.
