Does anyone know if this keypad works on mac, I don't really need any other functionality from it apart from just Z and X. Also, If I get one, how long does it usually take to ship?
It comes from Northern California and I live in Southern California, it was shipped on Monday and it arrived on Friday for me.Cool4strenz wrote:

It works fine on mac and should be recognized as a USB keyboard. Domestic shipping should take 3-6 days and international should take 5-10 days from ship date, not order date. These are made to order so there's a 1-3 day "handling" time.Cool4strenz wrote:

Well, it's not like anyone could double tap in 1ms nor would anyone want to. The 1000hz polling is just good so that when we hit the key, it registers and the information is sent without waiting until the end of the next 8ms interval. So having a short (5ms?) software debounce time shouldn't intervene whatsoever and I doubt anyone would've realized it if not for you saying so. And I don't think osu would handle the double pressing as nicely if the game ran at over 1000fps (although, I don't think many people do =P)Thnikk wrote:
On the topic of polling rate, this can actually work at 1000 Hz but the keys can't be pressed without sometimes registering as a double press. I'm using the bounce library to keep this from being an issue, but the keys are actually registered as being pressed once every 2 ms. This is something I'm working on but I can't guarantee it ever running at 1000hz. As far as osu is concerned, it actually handles the button presses fine so if you'd like a 1ms model you can just ask me.
You're right, I misinterpereted the info on the teensy site. It is actually running at 1000hz. Thanks for clearing things up againFieryLight wrote:

Yeah sorry, I'm pretty fast when it comes to these things. As you could tell in my post about the teensy lc, I was really excited. I've had the code ready for a few weeks so a more affordable microcontroller was all I was looking for.Cool4strenz wrote:
Oh wow, v2 got released so soon? Guess I'll have to cancel my order and try that one out instead, loving the LED options.
Wow, good news.Thnikk wrote:
osu! Keypad v2 is up!
I'm very proud of this release as I've been working on it for the past few months.
Here's a video of a prototype model from a few days ago, though I do plan on making a new video showing off the pressing and holding of the escape button with the actual new model.
Yes, both the layout and my play in this video are terrible.
New features include a new, slightly better black side button (mainly a test run, I may use these on the basic and basic+ too,) 5 LED modes that you can switch between by holding down the escape button, and a new microcontroller with the potential of a 1000 Hz polling rate (500 right now.)

My cut-off for orders made the same day is 12 PM PST from 12 PM the day before. With more orders coming in, I'm not sure if I can keep up with this, but if you were to order early after the cut-off it should definitely make it into the next day's batch, meaning a 1 PM order on Tuesday will be made on Wednesday and shipped on Thursday.
Me too, 20 days is ridiculous, even for first class. Most first class international packages take less that 2 weeks, so I'll give it one more week before I contact USPS (though that probably won't get me anywhere and I'll just end up making you another one.)inohdtx wrote:

I hope the basic+ that I bought 20 days ago arrives soon
Who knows if I end selling it and buying the v2. Is there a not so expensive but faster international shipping option?
Cheers.
Sorry, I'm pretty fast with this stuff. I've been sitting on the code for months so I had to jump when i finally found the Teensy LC :pMafuuu wrote:
My keypad just arrived today and you just released v2?! Is this what Iphone users feel like when the S comes out right after they buy the normal one? Well no helping it, good job with these. I'm loving mine so far c:
Looks great!Wingler wrote:
I recently got my Holyoops in the mail and let me say they look pretty good on this keypadPic
sorry about that potato quality
The new teensy is making me really considering getting another one if it does end up working out.
And if you decide to get on massdrop again then maybe another gateron option?
International shipping is expensive.Rot wrote:

Priority mail via flat rate box is ~$15 and is supposed to take 6-10 days. I should be able to add it as an option if anyone is interested and thinks that's reasonable.
I'll send another one out tomorrow morning. Of course I included the extra keycap last time (I will this time too!)inohdtx wrote:
26 days and still nothing.
The last tracking update was on April 11th and the package was still in the USA (in another usps facility though). Can't believe this is so slow
Don't worry, it's okay. I really appreciate the fact that you'll send another for me, thank you !Thnikk wrote:

I'm really sorry it's been so slow, I should have acted sooner and just done this a week ago. Should be no problems this time and you should get an email from Etsy with an updated tracking number.
You are super coolSneakyLeif1020 wrote:
I received my keypad today and made a demonstration video with it. Enjoy.
This is probably just the debounce settings. It should never cause any issues in game but I'll pm you with a fix .I'd like to have a remapping guide available for everyone including mac and linux users within the next week or two.Cool4strenz wrote:
I'm currently running Mac OSX Mavericks,
And sometimes when I press the key, the key double taps (using v2) super quickly, like a macro inputting 2 "z" clicks.
For example (adding commas between each click):
zz,z,z,z,zz,zz,zz,zz,z,z,zz,z,zz,z,z,z,z,z,z,zz,z,z,z,z
x,x,x,xx,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,
I have yet to see any impact in-game, however that occurs when im just tapping it on like a text document.
Any explanations?
Browns would probably be the more popular option out there, but if you did have more to spare it would be a good idea to get a tactile and linear to make it safe.Thnikk wrote:

Maybe red and brown then?
Although those yellow ones look really good but nobody would actually want one
I think the world needs more gateron awareness, since they're worth so much more than just RGB backlighting.Thnikk wrote:
So I'm getting 330 gateron switches to go along with my remaining ~80 clears. What could I possibly do with them besides offer them as a switch option for existing keypads?
I wanted to try out rgb backlighting since rgb leds are dirt cheap relative to all of the other parts I've bought for testing, and I just wanted more code to work on. These definitely won't be out any time soon, and I realize that only means "at least a week" for me, but I really do think it'll take a while.
That's the ideaWingler wrote:

But hey, you could make a keypad v2+ that has all sorts of dumb RGB effects and create the end-all of keypads in general
I could do it over pm/email, but I won't add the option to my Etsy (still no add-on pricing.) Be careful, though.ZenithPhantasm wrote:
Is it possible to put Gateron 35g springs into MX Blues/Kailh Greens?
I could do it but you'd have to catch me before a big order, which are getting less and less frequent since I'm buying in bigger and bigger batches. I'm running pretty low so my next purchase will probably be within the next few weeks if you don't mind waiting a little bit. You mean the ones from keypop, right? I was actually considering picking some up with my last order because I thought it would look cool but decided against it since they aren't transparent.deathmarc4 wrote:
Are orders with custom keypop keycaps possible? I'd really like the super hardcore light/dark crossbones combo for maximum mashing effect. If it's inconvenient for you I can just order them separately for myself.
Glad you like it and thanks for the +1! Maybe it's just becuase I used them in the product shots but there are a few more people going for them now which I'm very happy to see.Pituophis wrote:

nice i will buying a few soon! (yes more then one :p i brake stuff easily)
Glad it's been working out for you and thanks for the tape testimonial. I've added more info to all of my Etsy pages so hopefully people will know you can actually clean it nowSytarno wrote:
I love this keypad, been using mine for about a month now and I haven't had any problems so far.

I'm using a v1 keypad with gateron clears.
Here's a small update to the o-ring situation.Pituophis wrote:
This was a few days ago, but Thnikk provides excellent customer support.
I had an issue with one press registering multiple clicks. He did everything he could to help me.
In the end, I found out on my own that it seems the o-ring(I believe it reduces the key's travel distance by 0.4 mm) was keeping the key on the edge of pressed and not pressed so when I pressed down it would register as multiple clicks. Removing the o-rings fixed it and hasn't ever registered multiple clicks from one press since.
