Title: Anyone seen a KPP24U?
Post by: Xichekolas on Thu, 15 October 2009, 01:03:56
Anyone ever owned one of these?

I know Ms Keyboard lurks here, so maybe she can be of assistance. I'm curious what kind of switch they have, and what they look like in profile.

Considering an interesting project to put one under each hand and program them. Figure if they each come with 3 double caps it would cover my space/enter/etc needs.

Nice. You can pull that link up faster than I can google stuff. ;)

From the pics of the programming software it looks like you can't assign things like alt/ctrl to keys. Can anyone comment on that? Would definitely torpedo the idea of using two of them as a split keyboard.

She has a forum here in the vendor section.

It's not hard.  Geekhack has a search function.

Be nice ripster you forgot to tell the poor new user where the search function is at.

Look at the top of the page and you will see this really nice menu item called Search!

EDIT: Forgot to add no need to use Google when most of the results point here anyways.

When you know what you're looking for is on Geekhack, and Geekhack's built-in search isn't sufficient, you can restrict Google to look only at Geekhack by adding 'site:geekhack.org' as a search term.

I used the search, honest! But only thing I could figure to search for were the codes on the fentek site (kpp24ps and kpp24u) which didn't return anything.

Ah, I just now noticed the 'Genovation' at the top of that page.

I clicked on 'Programmable Keypads', then '24 Key Programmable...' which took me straight to the bottom of that page. Somehow missed the whole brand name.

/me is lazy :P

Just for the record, I think the dark gray is the 5.x version, while the light gray version in the review is the 4.x or less version.   The newer ones support media keys, more keys in general, and a few extra locking modifiers (windows key for example, previously you couldn't do a win-e macro for example).
