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:

well, usually github has the code you need for most of the work here..heethoofd27 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.
Well, they're made to withstand 50(linear) or 30(tactile and clicky) milion keystrokes, so I'd say they should last quite a while. Besides, if the pad would use PCB mounts then you could pop open the switch and replace the insides with new ones without any soldering.Purple wrote:

30-50 million normal keystrokes, but not this. In any case, replacing them should be trivial like you said, so it is indeed not much of an issue, but I overall I would have preferred it if the effort was put into using arcade parts instead.Fenek Alfa wrote:

No one would try singletapping 440 BPM on them. So that's not an issue.Purple wrote:

I alredy seen it on chinese bbs， and it alredy started to sell on taobao link：
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a23 ... s=1#detail
Is that ¥750.00 meant for RMB or Japanese yen?
and the price of the keyborad may be between 70~150 RMB, namely 10~20 dollars
by the way, this kind of keyboard has been sold since a year nearly
and the link of the keyboard may be the third generation.
I wish this device appears soon to be purchasable (if not done yet). O.o
and I say with the end of MWC we should consider making a complete (read: not 2-keys) osu!kb huehuehue
making a proper keyboard like this would be difficult as it requires consideration for all game modes which means putting in at least 10 keys to suit osumanias future change plans, there is also the option to make a regular keyboard with osu branding, the main issue tho is that you would have to create all 4 types of switchs plus the laptop sisscor switchs without key rollover trolling. this isnt too difficult but from the manufacturing side, the buyers might not be enough to make production in this product worthwhile, otherwise i would totally request a rubber dome, scissor switch keyboard with n key rollover~~ or at least 10kro
I agree here. It'd need to be usable for all game modes and that would be a waste for majority of players who don't play all the modes. If they have separate keyboards for each game mode it'd be too expensive to manufacture.laishiou wrote:

I said that as a joke, my current keyboard already fill my needs. I know it's not really worth it to make different keyboards since not everyone are gonna buy them. That said I wonder how many osu!tablets have been sold up until now.

On another note, if there's an osu! themed Huion 420 for sale... Isn't it also more logical to encourage both playstyles by offering an osu! themed mouse?? Namely the Logitech G100s?
The reason for selling osu!tablets was to make tablet gaming affordable to more people, not to encourage tablet > mouse.dagambler999 wrote:

Mouse on the other hand is rather easy to obtain for most people, so there's little reason for osu!mouse =.=
This topic looks at the possibility to make (mini) mech keyboards, which is not an affordable item to everyone.
^^^There goes my business pitch... On the other hand, any word on ppy's keyboard supplier? I heard techkeys came up with a pre-assembled PCB mech and would likely be a good basis for this osu!keyboard, if it had a case.

I like this idea but it needs three switches not two.
K1 K2 and Esc
Also shouldn't move around too much on a desk which is tough because it will not have much mass

I'm not sure if you guys have seen this yet:
This is the "official" one so far...
Looks good, but Adesso AKP-220B is a full 22 key numpad with blue switches and it's only a couple bucks more: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... -_-Productdagambler999 wrote:

These have a case-http://techkeys.us/products/threekeyboard or if you want to save money, you can just get get the PCB.FieryLight wrote:

But...what about those of us that use index/ring, or thumb/middle, or...pinky/thumb(does anyone do that?). What if we want something with further seperated keys ;_;
So this would solve the separate keys issue~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BmybSGppL0A Pig that flys wrote:
