Title: BIG PROJECT --> Copied over from Mods Section
Post by: nads93uk on Thu, 06 May 2010, 15:10:48
Hi everyone,

I wanted to make/(heavily mod) a keyboard and I need some help.

Ideally this is how it would turn out:
Start with a clicky (Fukkas/Blues) JIS keyboard (Left-handed?)
Shorten Left Shift
Move Backslash & Underscore from to where a backslash on a European Keyboard would be
Big Backspace!!!
Move Right Shift Slightly Leftwards to accommodate sign to the right of it
Reversed L-Enter IMPORTANT: TO MAKE ROOM FOR ALL CHARS, MUST BE APPLE STANDARD (M0116) TYPE ENTER WITH 1-KEY TOP and LONG BOTTOM.
Move Japanese ]}」symbols to 3 places right of P.
Fin

Is there a platform I can start from? Any suggestions?
I will try to illustrate soon.

THANK YOU ALL.

Can I mix and match switches on the same board? Fukkas/MX

P.S.  Why did you move the post here?  ItlnStln is like Ceiling Cat.  Watching us.... you know.


no one gave me a well, feasible answer cos probably no-one saw the damn thing.

Possible?

No.   See the layout of that section.

does it make a difference whether ive got a Jap layout and a tenkey? cos that looks like the tenkeyless to me.

I did this with a rubber dome to swap alt and meta, just cut off a bit of the circuit and use some wire to solder the different positions.

I still like BH's suggestion better.

Plus, that way you'll have a keyboard Webwit doesn't have.



Lol envy games,

I believe there is an issue of actually somehow finding and buying these items
