i'm using the cm inferno, the software is junky, everytime i bootup the software it recalibrates my mouse, so i loose my settings, currently there's no way to turn this off, so what happens? i never turn on the software, so it's useless.
the mouse software is all buggy and is a chore to make macro's with.
i'd actually would junk this mouse if i didn't mod it to be awesome

*edit
oh and only 2 of the 5 modes work, but that may have been my fault since i've modded it.
ha, awesome! :D love the mod :D
tell you what, once i worked my way through everything that piled up while i was in europe, ill check out the inferno driver and do my best to get it worked out in case i can reproduce your probs, alright? :)
its from before my days tho, havent played much with inferno at all tbh...
I didn't do up that picture. So I'd also tell them what it's for so they can make the holes a good size. I don't know who did do up the picture, but I don't mind if it's done at all. If it was this would also be the first one that would allow that to be done. I think I would say that I'd prefer legally if any company could do it. Sort of an open source-ish idea, if you get what I mean.
i dont think wed sue anybody over this... especially if we didnt come up with it... just worried we do it and then somebody sues US... especially since this will only be interesting to a very small percentage of users after all...
When I pop the top on a Cherry switch, I use two jeweler's screwdrivers... if you look at the top of the switch, there's a little rectangular hole in each of the four corners. If you stick a screwdriver with about a 2mm blade in one of those holes and pry, it'll release the two latches on that side. then take the other screwdriver and jam it under the top so it doesn't pop back down, go to the other side and pop those two latches. Harder to type out than it is to do, but it only works w/ PCB mounts because the plate prevents the latches from unlatching. If you put those notches in the plate I think that that method would likely work.
If you wanted to be real slick you could probably make a little fork shaped tool precisely shaped and spaced to make the process slightly quicker. Or even something like snap ring pliers with two forks, to pop all four latches at once. The last might be more idiot proof because then you wouldn't put any bending stress on the solder joint if you got all ham-handed with it. Or if you had two snap ring pliers with tips about the right size that might work too, haven't tried that (yet. Just got that idea as I was typing this post.)
I'm sitting here behind a board w/ plate mounted Cherries and a spaghetti sauce jar full of clear stems and springs, just waiting for my new soldering iron to show up :P Might have to go retrieve my Dremel and try the plate mod just to see if it'll work. I don't know if I have the patience to Dremel out four little reliefs in each of 104 cutouts though... but if the plate is stamped or laser cut in production, no biggie.
Of course, if I modded my plate I'd have to repaint it, giving me the opportunity to do paint it Safety Orange, or something like that.
cool! if it does work, let me know!
our PMs here werent really blown away by the idea, but id like to push for it since itll make our keyboards very geekfriendly at 0 added cost :D
Hey Ho,
Some news from the Gamescom 2011. Finally in Germany the CM Storm Trigger will be released next month for 100-120 EUR.
Cherry MXBlack will be used for the main-keys and Cherry MXRed for the macro-keys.
Click me for more Info
I do not know if i should believe him, he says that the BlackMX are having a tactile feedback and the RedMX should be Clicky... wtf?
Could battlesheep enlighten us?
and i thought I was camera shy and start talking gibberish :D
I think rene was a little nervous and mixed some things up :)
to clarify, the EU version is gonna be all black
I heard from a contact of mine at CM Storm that the Trigger is pushed back to 2012.
Also I guess it would be more likely to assume that there will be 4 'full' versions ie. one full blue, one full brown, one full black and one full red.
This of course is just what I would expect.
would be new to me...
but yes, itll be all black, all red etc...
Just came across this, a Tenkeyless CM Mech keyboard with detachable cable.

youre from malaysia but have a german nickname and posted on a chinese website? a fellow geek-vagabound? :D
let me know when youre in taipei, maybe we can meet up :)
its nice eh? for me a tenkeyless is actually interesting, oddly enough at i43 nobody liked it too much...
a lot of people said they use the numpad area in games... weird...
Wow that tenkeyless looks really nice, and its much cleaner looking than the full size keyboard with all the case details. This just has a **** load of CM Storm logos which isnt even bad.
Detachable cable is something I never had so I dont know how much of an improvement it will be.
Still hope this one has backlight. but looking at f9-12 cluster it certainly looks like it.
yepp, love the slick design!
i wish trigger couldve had a more slick shape like this one... :(
about the cable, its quite convenient... you can unplug the keyboard real fast and plug it back in again... if you want to clean your desk for example
and i use the same for my mp3 player, so i got a cable like this on my desk all the time and can plug the KB in and out quickly...
but if you dont move it a lot, it wont make a difference...
If you use it in more than one place, just get cables that can sit there. If it gets destroyed, just get a new cable instead of soldering it back together. I really would prefer it if most keyboard cables were like that.
exactly...
Macros are useless TBH, they're just a gimmick to sell more... heck, they're illegal in all the sc2 tournaments I go, why would I bother using them... I'd rather have backlit and a usb/hub.
depends on what youre doing...
for most people, i agree though...
honestly i dont get why macros are banned in sc2 though... its not like it would be a bot match then... not at all...
a macro can only do so much, it will always only be able to do so much, what it really does is help the player to spend less time doing stupid repetitive tasks and work out some real strategy and macro task the units etc...
but i guess im representing a minority here... :P
There are other instances where macro keys work wonders. Hence I'm looking forward to the ttesports G unit, with 12 keys (even 2-2-2 per column). It works well with SC2 where you don't have to reach all the way to the right for 5-0 keys. Even one of those keys can be bound to pop two or three types of potions simultaneously in games like Diablo 2, or mmorpgs. Just because macros are not allowed in tournies, doesn't mean you couldn't use them for single keys, or use macros at home for other games.
Unfortunately it took CM too long. I bought a BWU to hold me over til esports releases their Meka G unit keyboard.
just out of curiousty, why do you like the G unit?
Now it happened...
Razer will release a new Black Widow Ultimate.
MXBrown, no glossy and 6KRO. There is no reason for me to buy a Trigger anymore.
really? wow!
These are supposedly 50g.
Have any Yuan or USA Nickels? RipOmeter.
mhhh pretty busy now, ill try to remember doing it when i got some more time k?
btw, video about both keyboards at i43, cheers to the guys from OC3D!
was a blast hanging out with them :D
