Frosty Flake?
« on: Sat, 30 January 2016, 22:23:22 »
     My homework was six months in the making.  But then I learned about the frosty flake and it ruined all my plans.  Programmable layers sound awesome.  However, what I really need is to program my Caps Lock in to a function key.  I need a keyboard that can last more then a few years, and I haven't found enough info on longevity of the frosty flake/QSR combination.  Anyone have a sketchy experience of the frosty flake?

What do you expect to happen to the controller... bpiphany's designs are brilliant. The only thing that would fail is a switch or something from the QFR which would have nothing to do with the frosty flake itself. Maybe the reason for lack of information on the longevity is because the controller was made only a few years ago and no one has had it die on them yet if ever...

I really surprised that you posted to defend the designer of the frosty flake!  I like this community, thank you  :)

Yeah, the keyboard will fail before bpiphany's controller. The only thing passing through it is electrons, while the keyboard and its associated switches, stabilizers, keycaps, case, etc. is exposed to the vagaries of regular usage.

Awesome!  The non-jaded part of my brain was hoping that people would stand behind.. I just searched for Bpiphany and found a website!  Holy Moly!  Thank you  :)
