Neeeds the precious!

Have you ordered the remaining stock yet?

jdcarpe · « **Reply #55 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 17:24:24 »

Has anyone tried Popkeymon's AutoHotKey script to make a numpad into a full one-handed keyboard? I have, and it's tha shizz. I'll put the link here later when I'm not on my phone.

Here is the link: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=17113.0

I'm gonna put some special black DS on mine and convert it to USB. AFTER nixie chessboard and laser projects are done of course. That is IF I get one...

limmy · « **Reply #57 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 17:37:31 »

How do we know if it is not mode 4 keypad for sure?

damorgue · « **Reply #58 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 17:48:03 »

Apparently, the new ones which don't have it are not doubleshots. These ones have them , hence they should be of the old version and thus probably have it.

Edit: That is how I understand the text under the image in the wikilink that was posted above.

demik · « **Reply #59 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 17:53:16 »

the price tells you these are not mode 4 number pads. hence not fully hardware programmable.

just the four switches at the top are hardware programmable.

u can program the whole thing with autohotkey if you want, but it wont carry onto another computer like how a mode 4 numberpad would.

doubleshots mean nothing.

and the fact they are rare.

sth · « **Reply #60 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 17:57:19 »

Not a bad deal. Definitely my favorite numpad in the collection. Easy to mod too since they're PCB mount.

damorgue · « **Reply #61 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 18:02:27 »

But they say 20mA on the bottom?

That is not a very convincing argument. They are old stocks and getting rid of old stocks explains the low prices. Plus the boards are in Vietnam.

Sure thing would be to ask nntnam to press Numlock + 4 + Enter at the same time (holding down the Numlock key and then 4 key) and then see if LED blinks when you press Numlock + any key.

You would have to either test it or open it up to 100% find out

But it is a PS/2 input so the chances of that is even lower, while this is not the newest one as the newest models has laser keycaps, it is much more likely to see a Mode4 one with a DIN5 input instead.

Like I said though, the only way to FOR SURE know is to open it up or test it one or the other

If more come your way nntnam, let me know! Interested in 1!

nntnam · « **Reply #66 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 21:28:36 »

GOOD NEW!! There is about 13 keypads more. So all of you guys currently in the waiting list will get one

limmy · « **Reply #67 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 21:30:46 »

Nice. And thanks!

Edit: So, do I wait for the invoice message?

Acanthophis · « **Reply #68 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 21:32:23 »

Combined shipping for Ascaii and me =)

nntnam · « **Reply #69 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 21:33:15 »

AND!!!! It is said in the manual guide that, these babies have mode 4 (all key programmable). But I can't try it with a p/s 2- USB converter, don't have p/s2 plug on my laptop though

.

limmy · « **Reply #70 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 21:38:03 »

Do you not have PS/2 to USB converter?

Anyways, I am exited to get one!

tsangan · « **Reply #71 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 21:38:40 »

From my knowledge they didnt change the manual, there was only 1 version of the manual

Only way to check is still crack it open to look at innards or test it

kaiserreich · « **Reply #72 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 21:38:56 »

can't program the number pad with a converter.

if these are mode 4, people are getting a hell of a steal.

Sorry, just quickly check the manual. But I'm sure that I can program 4 top keys via P/s-USB converter

limmy · « **Reply #75 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 21:47:13 »

We will see once we get them, but I feel they are indeed mode 4. Searching google and KBDMania gave me some hints that they are indeed mode 4 keypads.

Some clues they are mode 4:
1. mode 1 keypad draws 145mA while mode 4 draws 20mA.
2. G80-3700HQU are mode 1 while G80-3700LQAU or G80-3700HQAU are mode 4

Those clues may not be 100% correct, but it seems to work in the cases I observed so far.

limmy · « **Reply #76 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 21:49:32 »

Here is how you can check whether it is mode 4:
Press and hold down Numlock
Press and hold down 4
Press Enter while holding down Numlock and 4

Now you are in mode 4 (if your keypad supports it)

Press and hold down Numlock
Press say 1 while holding down Numlock
See if Numlock LED blinks.

If the LED blinks the key 1 is programmable and hence the keypad supports mode4.

tsangan · « **Reply #77 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 21:53:26 »

Only 4 screws to open this bad boy up

Left Mode4
Right Mode1

nntnam · « **Reply #78 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 21:57:18 »

@limmy, The answer is yes, mate. Tested it (even via p/s-usb converter)

.

limmy · « **Reply #79 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 21:58:12 »

It seems you can also tell from the shape of the cable too. There is rubber block on mode4 pad's cable and there is none on mode 1 pad.

limmy · « **Reply #80 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 21:59:27 »

Great! They are indeed mode 4! Yay!

The programming also works on PS/2 to USB converter. You just need PS2 keyboard to set the macro. Once set, the macro remains on the board even if you unplug it.

Acanthophis · « **Reply #81 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 22:00:26 »

This gets better and better =)

demik · « **Reply #82 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 22:02:29 »

open it up o.O

limmy · « **Reply #83 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 22:03:18 »

Oh, by the way the mode stays changed unplugged too. So, nntnam you might want to put the key pad back to mode 1, so that the person who got the board is not confused to think it is broken.

nntnam · « **Reply #84 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 22:10:57 »

^ everyone will get the NIB one, just tested it with my keypad. I will just open the box and test it if you ask me to do so.

limmy · « **Reply #85 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 22:15:50 »

Please check mine if it powers up. Thanks!

I am getting one right? I am waiting for the invoice. heh heh

litster · « **Reply #86 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 22:24:46 »

nntnam, invoice me up! Or let me know your Paypal address. Thanks. :-)

alixinhzai · « **Reply #87 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 22:35:55 »

i need it

The_Ed · « **Reply #88 on:** Wed, 25 July 2012, 22:48:52 »

Send me an invoice since you already have my paypal email from my POS board part-out (batch 1) leftover sale. Or just tell me how much to pay to your paypal email as I have found that in my PMs.

If these truly are mode 4, then when I mod it to USB I will have to keep the circuitry intact to be able to switch back and forth just for fun. I would just have to remember to NOT plug both the USB and PS/2 in at the same time...

Djuzuh · « **Reply #89 on:** Thu, 26 July 2012, 01:36:26 »

PLEASE TELL ME I GET ONE.

Nobody up the line wants to give his dib away to me ?

Solanin · « **Reply #90 on:** Thu, 26 July 2012, 01:40:00 »

Hi, this is from the same batch of numpad, hope it's help

limmy · « **Reply #91 on:** Thu, 26 July 2012, 02:04:19 »

Nice vid! Yours seems to be two tone DS. Were there color variations? I would love to get two tone DS!

One thing to note by the way:
Macros with multiple key strokes do not work very well with cheap PS/2 to USB converters. Blue cubes worked so far without issues and of course macros should work perfectly with PS/2 connection.

Solanin · « **Reply #92 on:** Thu, 26 July 2012, 03:47:11 »

that's the only two tone DS in nntnam's first batch. Try asking him, maybe he has some more.

Djuzuh · « **Reply #93 on:** Thu, 26 July 2012, 03:48:45 »

@nntam: if you are able to provide the another G80-3700 who isn't the same model (for example, if the keys are not DS, I don't care) at a similar or lower price, I'll take one of this if I can't get those models

.

nntnam · « **Reply #94 on:** Thu, 26 July 2012, 04:06:28 »

@solanim, thanks for the video.

@everybody, the good (or bad) news is, in the second batch, I get 3 keypad which have two tone color scheme (G80-3700HQAUS), and 10 keypads has one tone color scheme (G80-3700HQAUS-0 ) like in the 1st batch . I don't know if there is any of you want this. So if you (in both the 1st list and waiting list), want a two tone keypad, please leave your comment below this post. Thanks.

Djuzuh · « **Reply #95 on:** Thu, 26 July 2012, 04:08:36 »

If it's the same price, I want a two tone.

nntnam · « **Reply #96 on:** Thu, 26 July 2012, 04:13:13 »

^ You got one, Djuzuh.

About the second batch (13 keypads). There are some keypads which don't have good boxes, but I can sure that they are NIB, never used. Hope you guys won't mind the boxes' condition.

MarkPharaoh · « **Reply #97 on:** Thu, 26 July 2012, 04:19:03 »

Interested.

limmy · « **Reply #98 on:** Thu, 26 July 2012, 04:47:16 »

What should I get!!! I will go for two tone DS if it has LED on Numlock key. I wouldn't mind the box's condition, but I cannot refuse to ask for one with perfect box. That is NIB business right?

Djuzuh · « **Reply #99 on:** Thu, 26 July 2012, 04:48:24 »

I do not care about the box condition at all.

As long as the numpad doesn't break or get scratchs during the shipping.
