hmm... oke... just one problemZenithPhantasm wrote:
What is the polling rate of your homebrewed keyboards?
I haven't noticed any issues with missing keystrokes or latency (and I run these at 16mhz instead of 8,) but this is something I should find out. I hope to have an answer for you within the next few days.ZenithPhantasm wrote:

Yeah but only $10 more for a third key. Excellent value!byfar wrote:
2 keys for 25 dollars. Man I'd rather get me an 108key all purpose mech kb for 100
Not trying to pimp myself here, but even in the US the parts are pretty expensive if you're just buying for one. You really have to be into it for the fun of making it yourself.Gumica wrote:
I'd probably dive into such a project myself, but I fear that the raw materials and parts would cost way more to get them delivered to a third world country, than actually buying the keypad from one of you guys ~.~
When will you make 'em available for us, outside of US, Thnikk :> ?
I'd think about it if enough people showed enough interest in the first batch. I don't think they would be very practical to buy at low volume and I'll already have 30-50 extra blanks at the end of this one.ZenithPhantasm wrote:
Would there be a premium "metal keycap" version?
You're really putting bank into this.Thnikk wrote:

any other website to buy key caps other than techkeys and maxkeyboards ?
Nah, it's not that much. I used to mod Game Boys and those were a lot more expensive to work with. I'll admit it does add up pretty quick when you buy batches of keycaps, though.InnocentEyes wrote:

I like http://www.keypop.net/ and http://keyshop.pimpmykeyboard.com/products (I love double shot keycaps if you guys can't tell)xasuma wrote:

Can anyone tell me the exact dimensions of the techkeys business card? (Im trying to find a perfect fit case for it).
You could also mount it externally if it ends up being too huge with the enclosure (since you'd need something super thin for the keycaps to not be recessed beyond use) and use 2 boxes or just one for the keyswitches. It wouldn't be beautiful but it might make it a little more usable.InnocentEyes wrote:

(edit: Made easier to read)
Are you interested in selling it? Also does it support 1000hz polling or PS/2 (This matters for me)InnocentEyes wrote:
I don't need my osu! keyboard anymore because I just got a Razer BlackWidow with blue backlighting and brown switches. What a rare find, never sold retail. I got a pretty good deal.
I will still make a tutorial in maybe... a few months and put it on my YouTube channel to teach anyone interested how to make their own, though.
I would totally give it out for free, but I messed up the lights on it and it made me pretty depressed.ZenithPhantasm wrote:

As long as it doesn't look broken and works extremely well I could care less about how it looks.InnocentEyes wrote:

It's not about when you press it, it's about when it registers. If you've tapped on time while your mouse was moving you'd only be hindered by your keyboard's lower polling rate. It's definitely possible to play with 125 Hz but you'll have an easier time with something like 500 or 1000 Hz.Gumica wrote:
Well, in all honestly, 125Hz polling rate for keyboards should be enough for everyone, unless you intend to use the keypad for a machine or your fingers have a pressing time faster than 8ms :^)
Exactly. Also my unstable rate is much more consistent on my Razer BW at 1000hz vs 125hz.FieryLight wrote:

If your current prototypes support PS/2 then there's no reason to go with another micro controller.Thnikk wrote:
@ZenithPhantasm I'm still trying to find the polling rate of mine but I'm pretty sure it's not 1000, probably 125-500. For a higher polling rate I'd have to go with another micro controller like a teensy but those go for $16 each. If you're interested I could make one for you but it'd probably end up being around $45 USD.
Ahh, that makes sense. Thanks for the insight.FieryLight wrote:

I'll check it out, but it might take me a day as I don't have a computer with a ps/2 port running right now.ZenithPhantasm wrote:
