Title: [Preorder]Modular Lego-like Ergo MK | Velocifire×Dumang DK6 Ergo V2 - Delivered
Post by: john08099 on Fri, 10 July 2020, 04:45:25
Hi all,

Finally the Preorder opens at https://www.velocifiretech.com/product/dumang-dk6-ergo-v2/

Edited:

Aug. 18th 1. The listing just updated with a basedboard only, and one anykey with a USB cable that you can plug in, set to any key and put in any place you like (you can even put it under desk and press it by toes)
2. Preorder closed, available on website (price US$10 added) but delivery will be after fulling preorder orders.

You can place each key anywhere you want without changing to a new keyboard.

It has built-in mcu for every key to contact with the basdboard and communicate with PC.  In this way, no matter where you place the key, it works. No matter what you set for the key, it restores information there seperately.

Interesting concept. Curious to see how this progresses

This board is awesome! I picked one up when I was in Japan in March. I did a mini review of it on my stream a few weeks ago. If anyone is looking into getting one, I recommend it, this price seems reasonable, it's about the same price I paid when I bought it. It's a very interesting idea!

Thank you. The Dumang Modular keyboards have been on Chinese and Japan market for about 2 years, works very stable now, this is not a concept only :))

I'm assuming this isn't using open source software. What software is going to be used to program these switches, and can I get a link to confirm it works on my system?

I've spun it up in a Win10 VM, it runs, but the first thing it does is look for a keyboard. If there isn't one attached, there isn't much else you can do.

I'm using the 'full size' version, which is probably similar to TKL. I want to stick with dedicated keys for things nav buttons.

I would say that build quality is really good, much more solid IRL than is suggested by the photos. The impression I get from handling them is that they are built like high quality Apple tablets, only much denser.

No idea what the customisation software is like though, as I haven't found the need to use it.

Thank you for the feedback. The software is really cool,  you can try to use it too!
