Honestly, I'm content as long as it didn't make him worse. I just wanted people to have something tiny and customizable to play osu on. If you can play better with it too, that's awesome!Granger wrote:

I'm going to update the OP at some point since that does seem ambiguous, but that post was really just part of a conversation from the previous thread. I've thought about it and upgrading the trinket to a teensy doesn't seem worth it. I've gotten enough price complaints as it is, so adding $10 to the price does not seem viable at all.SupraKyun wrote:

the 125hz doesn't tell me anything about input delays, it rather tells me how often the computer is checking the USB data. Which is basically 125 times per second.
I would like to see someone who is going to stream 125 beats per second. The value is kinda useless when it comes to keyboards (in my opinion).

Well, seems right.ZenithPhantasm wrote:
Input lag in ms= 1/fpsx1000+1000/pollingrate+displaylag(CRTs have no display lag whatsoever)+framebuffer
Its particularly dangerous for mouse players because mouse feels like crap unless you set polling rate to 500hz+.[ Momiji ] wrote:

Also, I was only pointing out the effect of input lag variability on accuracy, but truth is that input lag also fiddles with hand synchronization.
example:
rrtyui
gangsta
cursor on slider, sliderbreak
I had no idea it was so low on wacom tablets. Again, thank you guys for providing such insightful information for me any everyone else in the thread.ZenithPhantasm wrote:

Input lag of default/office mice (125hz): 8ms
Input lag of gaming mice (500-1000hz): 1-2 ms
Input lag of most keyboards (125hz): 8ms
Input lag of Wacom tablets (133hz): 7.52ms
Input lag of Huion tablets (200hz): 5ms
Assuming a player using a Wacom and a 125hz keyboard, he/she only has to deal with a 0.48ms difference which is unnoticeable.
However, a mouse player using a high end mouse and a 125hz keyboard has to deal with a 7ms difference which is massive and certainly noticeable for most people (yes you can still work around it but it wouldn't be the same).
Probably not, aside from some additional keycap options. I'm settled on all of the parts for the time being. If anything, there might be a higher price teensy model for 1000hz that will be made in small quantity, but it will be identical in every other way and it wouldn't happen for at least a few weeks.SupraKyun wrote:
So the delay thing isn't really an issue, at least at my level XD. Do you think you are going to upgrade it anytime soon on anything?
Average time for first class mail is 1-3 weeks, but it averages at a little over a week in my experience. If you'd like to leave some feedback/a review here in the thread, that would be wonderful!SupraKyun wrote:
Oh okay, thank you!
Edit: I bought one! Tell me if you need some review once i receive it! I kinda live in France so i wonder how long it will take o- O
I think you mean Kev's demo video which is available for download on his profile here.UberBagel wrote:
What skin did you use during the demonstration video?
Mouse pad because mouse pads also don't slide as much so it will prevent the keypad from moving so much too.SupraKyun wrote:
Sure, i will leave some feedback once i receive it . Cloudy Keycaps with Cherry MX Red *q*.
Just wondering if the tape gonna do anything to my desktop, can the tape be sticked on wood things or maybe i stick it to my old mousepad?
I see, well i hope it will stick fine on da mousepad and the tape better last for a while XD. Now, just waiting for the keypad to come!KevEz wrote:

There shouldn't be. The escape key was placed to be pushed by the side of your ring finger (which does sound pretty awkward,) but can also be used with your thumb.SupraKyun wrote:

I hope there is no disadvantage if i use the keypad with the right hand? Because i'm left handed so i'm using the tablet with my lefthand and keyboard with my right hand.
KevEz, are you only playing with the keypad now?
I've tried rubber feet initially and they didn't work particularly well, mainly because they keypads aren't heavy enough. The cable has more influence on it than anything else, and while playing you just sort of nudge it around. These do look a little bit more rubbery than my last ones though, so I'll give it a shot.ZenithPhantasm wrote:

I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought of that. Just replace the wood with a plastic mouse pad and the glue with tape and add a wrist rest underneath.ZenithPhantasm wrote:

The springs inside the switches are made of steel I think.sanguisinvia wrote:

Another thing you can try is to buy 2 magnets of decent strength, glue one to the bottom of the keypad and place the other on the underside of the table. (these have a 6.1 lb pulling force and should be small enough for your project, but do be careful, neodymium magnets are very fragile especially thin N48's) Then, place a strip of rubberized tape over the underside of the keypad including the face of the glued magnet. Because the Micro-controller uses flash memory rather than magnetic disks, the presence of the magnet will not erase any data. The rubber tape plays two parts in this, it increases the friction with the table surface, as well as damping the vibrations caused by key-hits. (which keeps the board from being vibrated off position)
From what I can find, the springs are made from stainless steel, which is generally non-magnetic. However, the sources disagree with each other on whether the stainless steel used is a magnetic strand. But for the sake of argument, let's say that they were magnetic, the small springs would be magnetized toward the bottom of the plate. Due to their housing, they cannot move around, so as far as I can tell, there would be no issue with magnets even if the springs were magnetic.ZenithPhantasm wrote:

What?... The material of the spring remains constant, and even when the spring is fully compressed, it is still firmly attached on all edges... To go even further, the springs are more constrained when they are compressed... I don't quite understand what you are trying to get at...ZenithPhantasm wrote:
What about when the spring is compressed?
I think I have some neodymium magnets lying around so I'll give it a try, but I have 2 concerns. The contacts inside the switch are magnetic so this could cause them to stick (though there's a decent distance between the keyswitches and the magnet if it was mounted to the bottom of the keypad,) and thicker desks. My ikea desk is almost an inch and a half thick, and since this is a variable for customers, I'd rather not rely on it since its effectiveness would be inconsistent.sanguisinvia wrote:

The switches have gold cross-point contacts, gold is non-magnetic. But for the sake of argument, and because they are only gold plated, we'll say that the inner material is magnetic. Even so, you would need a much stronger magnet if you wanted to even dream of deforming the metal contacts, especially if you look at how the magnetic force would be applied to the contacts themselves. (The contacts are separated by a piece of plastic which is attached to the stem of the switch (the plus piece that the key attaches to) In order for the magnet to trigger a connection between the contacts, it would need to be able to move that plastic piece downwards)Thnikk wrote:

I never said that this was an end-all solution, only a possible solution for those who didn't want to use tape or glue on their desks. But I am interested in seeing your final solution for securing such a light object to the table.Thnikk wrote:

Looked at the switch gifs again and you're totally right. I was thinking everything was the opposite (even though I've opened switches before.)sanguisinvia wrote:
