It would be really nice if you guys created a "Two Button Keyboard" for Osu players. Maybe make the two buttons have cherry mx switches and then you guys can give a option of what kind of cherry mx switch "keyboard" you want. I just want something like this because I use a laptop keyboard and I am destroying my ZX, AS, and QW keys. I plan to buy a mechanical keyboard but most of them cost over 70. Instead of buying a whole mechanical keyboard, it would be nice to buy a "Two Button Keyboard" from the Osu Store for like maybe 10-30 dollars.

YESSS But I think I would prefer brown tho. I actually tried to find something like this online... :3
Not trying to be the devils advocate here, but what happens if one of the switches breaks?
Making them easy to replace could be a solution :3? Like some nice easy way to easily just replace it like *poof* ^^Philantropist wrote:

I wonder if there's manufacturer mad enough to use 4 or more switch types on a single numpad (eg 1 type per row) lol
Would be awesome if it can be sourced in batch

Easily replaceable with some spare switches in the pack? IE a plate with space for say, 8 keys, 4 keys or 2keys (mania and taiko buddies yo). It'd be nice if it shipped with say 4 of each switch time or something?Philantropist wrote:

The time and money it would cost to develop such a custom keyboard+drivers are probably not worth it since most people that play will still use a normal keyboard.
So from a business standpoint I don't really see this happening.

Well I think we will never see a thing like this in the store. Anyway, some osu! player has this "two button" keyboard. You can buy some things (i don't know what ahahah) and make them by yourself.aznphil56 wrote:

osu! keyboard should be for all gamemodes and not only for standard gameplay.
It probably won't go through for reasons mentioned by AnotherEpicName, but if it will go through, then I reccomend asking around on /r/MechanicalKeyboards, because there's quite a few of guys that made custom keyboards already and know the drills.
Pink is red + white, right? MX Red is a 45g linear, and MX White is apparently an old name for MX Green so 80g clicky. So something in-between would be a tactile 55g... which is MX Clear.Kritzkingvoid wrote:

Alright maybe not a two button keyboard, but at least a keyboard that functions just for osu. Like buttons that are already binded and stuff Idk. It doesn't have to be exactly two buttons, just something that I can buy so I don't rape every single button of my keyboard. LOL
I alredy seen it on chinese bbs， and it alredy started to sell on taobao link：

I would throw money at this if someone in the US started selling these. I'd buy 10.- D a s z x - wrote:

this needs to be distributed on the osu!store or something. can I get a test unit sent to me? (will cover costs)

I believe peppy is asking for you to buy one and send it to him. He'll cover the costs for that.- D a s z x - wrote:

That looks really cool. But am i wrong or 750 rmb are about $120 usd ? If so that is quite a lot.
Yup, that price is definitely $120 USD. I have no idea why it's so expensive.. you can get a full mechanical keyboard for cheaper. I'm curious about this also, so I'll try and see if I can find another company that manufactures these things.
They said its out of stock, the price will be changed back to 75 when it's in stockKaeru wrote:

I was actually asking if you could get me in contact with the seller so I can see how we can make this happen at larger scale .

In china,such keyboard has been made for about 3 years(maybe 4 years?I really do not remember it).And the technology and the material to make such keyboard was open freely to everyone by the first maker .So everyone can make it by himself.In fact,some player exactly do it in a small scale.
The keyboard mentioned above is one of them.

I have known that at least 3 people in China are working on this project.
We call it "Chu pan".
In fact ,the price of this one (item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=38310384006) is about ￥70.
Here are the posts of this project.

And destiny_HC also designed one and this keyboard was firstly put into actual production.

Some thoughts if this is to be done officially:
different switches:
Will there be different versions, or a bigger version with rows of all switches, or a pack with included switches (and a guide on how to solder, hue), or all of these?
other modes:
Will they be ignored and only 2-key-pads be made? Or maybe at least 4 keys, so you can play CtB, 4k and Taiko on it and buy a second one if you want to play 8k?
difficulties:
- They have to have a good standing on the table, if they're unstable it would be horrible
- The price still has to be acceptable of course. If it comes closer to a full keyboard, then the pad has to have it's own merits (besides being transportable)
I'd buy around 1-3 depending on what it ends up as and on the top of my head I can think of one or two more people who might be interested. Please do not give up on making something like this!

hmm i think there are still cheap numpads already *..* but yeah if the effort is money and time worth ... why not *..*
supporting in my heart
honestly i can make a cool design for it
wait
multi mode keyboard tada
it looks like shit but can be re-designed to be very amazing
it should have NKRO enabled and switches of choice

wut, you don't need that many keys for all modes, you can play Taiko, CtB and standard on the mania buttons too.Comet wrote:

|_____ O _____| would totally be enough. But well, I don't know if it will happen. But I'd at least love it if 4-key-pads would be made.
Instead of that... how about two 'space buttons' to keep the number of keys even for the standard ppl?Legxis wrote:

I don't even. Don't add extra keys that are unnecessary. Standard people can use two keys in the rows above without trouble. Even my layout has one unnecessary key, since just eight would be enough, but then you'd have to click the former-space-key in 7k with a different finger and it would probably mess everything up.samlinvc wrote:

if the second key is long (like a spacebar) it'd be possible to be used with both thumbs.Full Tablet wrote:

I am for a osu keyboard, but the keyboard have to be useful in all gamemodes and it should be use for all players. Specially in ctb are some 1-hand-player like me
Why not just make it look like a standard gaming keyboard, So that we can use the osu! Keyboard for other gamesFull Tablet wrote:

I think then it would lose its principal of "osu keyboard" and defeat its purpose. You'd probably want a regular keyboard which you can use on anything ^^Kritzkingvoid wrote:

Would be interesting to see. I'd buy it 
Although idk if it'd be very profitable

Cool. Never thought this post would be a big deal. Thanks senpais for noticing me.
http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/# ... d57b61662e
I think it would be best to just make the 4k's in this layout, with both left and right-handed versions, and if somebody wanted to play 8k then they'd just buy one of each.

I hope these things would come with a lead weight or quality feet because this thing looks like it could slide around during jump circles. Especially with the way some of us osu players play (button mash like a mad man).
seems cool!!

1. Get a keyboard
2. Be sure, it has mx switches!
3. Take a saw
4. Be a man.

Naah but, really! that's a nice thing! I would buy it right away!

Cool idea, but I feel like using a bit more money for a full sized keyboard would be better.
Just my thought.
Just my thought.
You guys just gave me an pretty awesome idea.
It works surprisingly well and feels really nice to play with, the only thing is that the fightstick is huge and the buttons is a little more apart than what you're used to.
I guess that means I might build my own arcade osu!controller thing in the future when I have the money.

I really think that "osu!" keyboard needs only 2 keys, would be really cheap and really nice to see a 2k kb
Instead of a keyboard with only 2 keys for osu!standard, how about a keyboard for all gamemodes?
Something like this;
I think this would cost around 20$.

Why not have two versions. One with the 9 key layout for all of the gamemodes and one with just the two keys for the osu standard mode and sell it for a bit less.

I am trying to get one, but im not sure if they are mechanical switches / and what color switches.
I know you can choose the (decorative) color of the key caps when you order. But other than that I don't get much after google translating the site.
Do they ship anywhere in the world? And can you pay with any credit card?

It looks like blue mechanical switches in this picture however, after searching google for this 五脚轴 it seems that they aren't official cherry mx switches but some other kind of mechanical switch (maybe kailh?) http://gd1.alicdn.com/imgextra/i1/1895821576/T2Vcp3X18XXXXXXXXX_!!1895821576.jpgxasuma wrote:

nonono 五脚轴 is basically Chinese for "5-legged switch" (轴 means "axis" which is used to describe the switch), which is different from a 三脚轴 (3-legged switch) which has the additional 2 supportive legs removed. This is better illustrated by this post: http://tieba.baidu.com/p/2485721339 (in Chinese; see the last pic of OP)heethoofd27 wrote:

With that price of that, it could be a good idea to have a bundle deal with the osu!tablet.
That would be incredible. I would pick that up imediately if they were made available.Fr33z3R wrote:

I need this because my keyboard is to long.
There are some DIY kits I've seen online, this doesn't have a case or buttons but has full functionality. I suppose having them pre-assembled with a case would work.
With that particular one you have to reprogram it though. It also isn't available in Europe if I remember corectly.dagambler999 wrote:

unless you check out stuff by adafruit or sparkfun... just gotta order the switches, the controller and the casing last time I saw one. Most of their microcontrrollers are Arduino-based (thank god)
I might even pick one up and try it. After looking through the techkeys.us website I found out that they do ship to Europe. Including shipping, switches, keycaps and the board ofcourse will cost me $30. That's pretty good in my opinion. I can also probably ask my dad to help with making a case for it out of wood or something. This seems like a nice project to try my soldering and electronics skills on, since it doesn't involve a lot of soldering.
I like the idea of an osu! keyboard but as I have mentioned in the past, Cherry MX switches are made for typing, not to withstand the force of a 240 BPM beatmap play. Arcade microswitches are, and those should be used instead. Only problem with arcade microswitches is that I don't think they have any sort of tactile feedback like blue/brown/clears have, but they make up for it by being much more precise.
