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* ^^
Oinari-sama
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?

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.

Yeah, fully support jesus1412 and thread.
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. :D

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 would throw money at this if someone in the US started selling these. I'd buy 10.

I believe peppy is asking for you to buy one and send it to him. He'll cover the costs for that.
xasuma
That looks really cool. But am i wrong or 750 rmb are about $120 usd ? If so that is quite a lot.
Kaeru
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.

Oh. That's actually really good then.! Sign me up! I'm looking forward to trying one out. If someone does get one, please make a review on it.
peppy
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 :D.

That's an interesting way of locking thread lol (unless some tuhao's willing to pay 750RMB for it)

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.
Kagamine Rin
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.

Lovely keyboards,I want one,too. :D

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 *..*

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

Instead of that... how about two 'space buttons' to keep the number of keys even for the standard ppl? :D

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.

What about players that use both of their thumbs?

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

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 :D

Why not just make it look like a standard gaming keyboard, So that we can use the osu! Keyboard for other games

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 ^^
Kyroh_old
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. :D

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 Give Up
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!! :)

Tut.

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! :)

Perhaps the fact that it's so easy to make could be another reason it should be made?
