hello everyone
« on: Wed, 18 February 2015, 05:05:19 »
Thank you to who ever upkeeps these forms, I have been following some threads for a few months now debating if I should dive into building my own input device in the future - and the resources found through the threads are pretty awesome

I am hoping by August to start building my own media/keyboard I do allot of 3d/photoshop/ semi-broadcasting stuff and I am sick of having to learn short cuts to every program I use -- I've gone from logitech boards with g-keys to corsair k95 series  .. to there wtf  :'( k95-rgb (we hate humans software based keyboard, and onboard memory thats unusable - another wtf moment)

so far I've seen allot of builds with teensy and arduino with custom firmware witch is awesome, but are there any built with an x-key controller http://xkeys.com/PIComponents/USBEncoderBoards.php  - they have some ok macro boards that would fit my needs but they seem big and bulky and my workspace is already limited

if anyone knows of any other companies that make controllers with firmware/software please tell me :p

Welcome to Geekhack!

An interesting controller - I haven't heard of anyone using that one before, but my experience of these things is hardly universal :))

infiniti has directed you to the making stuff together area - that would be the best place to discuss this :)

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
