[edit] 15*6 (not matrix ps2 in black.  I've pulled the trigger already.

That quad key might be a little stiff...

That quad key might be a little stiff...

Not wrong, did you get the one for 21 quid ?

But are these 15x8 ??
Or like the small 15 by 6 ones we already have ?

...that I have just had yet another fsck that moment programming [trying to] after swapping a load of keys on to, and around and around and messing up the tplate ...again.

I keep meaning to ask you if you have the tplate/board programming sorted,
and what you are using to keep the software happy

whoops - yeah it's a 15*6 - should have learnt to count by now.  

I feel a bit cheated that's he's relisted it for less than I paid...  Still, worse things happen at sea.

Looks identical to the ones we've already got - he's got the part number slightly wrong - with a 1 instead of a i.  Looks like it has keys with varying profiles.  I hoping some of the keys will help me finish the ghetto split project.  Not sure what I'll use it for just yet.

I fixed the template issue on the upside down layout.  Sadly, this meant starting again from scratch.  I love playing with the layouts, but hate programming the things.  Haven't even started programming the ghetto split keyboard thing yet.   I think the trick with the templates is to save with a new version number every 10 keys or so to reduce the impact of it going wrong.

How are you getting on with yours?

are these cherry blacks?

I was just about to get one and then re-read your post about the quad key,
and looked at it and brain stuttered into life and thought that key is 2x2 not 4x4 as I had pictured in my head when I read quad.

I think one problem with the templates is time, and having a big KVM.
I need to sit down and do the boards/templates with nothing else on the go,
having a big stacked KVM is great for desk space but not for getting things done if you have a brain like mine.

Another problem seems to be this Ducky I am using has some sort of problem with the scroll/lock key, as its able to do many other things,
just not what a normal sc/lk can and let me dbl click it with a number and go straight to the box I need.
As I go round thru them all I see thats finished, or not and so on.

are these cherry blacks?

I dont know 100% if they are,
but I would say a 90% yes as most POS boards are.

Dont have the same problem with them [Cherry blacks] as many seem to, but TBH for the cost of that board I think its a very good price.
I am sure the basic Alpha/Num keys will be 2shots the over sized ones will not be anything other than a basic pad printed key.

Very likely to be cherry blacks.  Plate mounted.  The board is fully programmable (but you'll need a ps/2 connector on the motherboard and admin access to the pc to program).  5nkro via a blue cube adapter, full nkro uf you've got native ps/2.  

Width wise it's smaller than an hhkb.

For £20 (ish) assuming they're in good condition - you're almost stealing from him.

If you find you don't like typing on it, a little bit of work and you've got a device you could use like an x-key.

i really want one of these, but the seller has informed me they will not offer any international shipping...if anyone from the uk is getting one that wouldn't mind ordering a second one for me, and shipping it to me, that would be much appreciated. I'll pay for postage of course, and could offer other keyboards as trades as well.

I got two of those, they are fantastic boards.
The only problem is to find the missing keys. Mine are a colorful mess; I have raped a filco and a cherry for keys, and still looks like hell.

[hoggy]

Got mine today.  Could be packaged better.  Quite dirty - I've got the keys into soak with some denture tablets.  Still not bad for the money.

Ascii,  I'm not going to order another board, but I'm quite happy to take delivery and send one onto you.
