what do you mean by "what are you using for the board?"

I mean what is he using for input (What PCB board) is being using within the keypad? Like arduino for example.SupraKyun wrote:

ive recently started to feel delay/lag on the keypad might be my computers problem but thought id just mention it.

New batch is up! Prices are down by a dollar since I unfortunately had to omit the clear switch tops 
On the bright side, cables are now 6 feet long and the tape won't rip parts of your desk off (and you can clean it!)

The polling rate should be the same as your old one so maybe you're just getting betterKevEz wrote:

Although this is a great idea and I'm sure this will/has sold pretty well, doesn't it move a bit when you hit the keys? You could add some grip so this doesn't happen, but hey, this is still a prototype product.

On a side note, More boring gameplay with the keypad.

Hey guys, just wanted to post to say I'm not dead. Everything's been going well and the last batch sold out within a week, so I bumped up the quantity of the next batch to 20 and I'm now waiting for the last parts to come in. I should have batch 3 up within the next week.
Here's a preview

Awesome!
i sent you an email earlier, can´t wait to test this out.

buying two of these could get you a high quality 21 key keypad
buying three of these could get you a low budget cherry keyboard
im not trying to stop your sales, but it doesn't make sense to me buying a 2 key usb input for £20. i dont know if it's because of shipping rates or whatever, but damn its too expensive.

You only need two keys for standard, four keys for taiko, three keys for CTB,RedPanda wrote:

Just call me thnikk's osu keypad salesman, but it's cos if you really don't need the mechanical keys for anything else other than osu standard, then you only need 2 keys. No point paying more than double the price for an extra 100 keys you don't need. Plus, the portability of this thing paired with a laptop as opposed to a whole mech kb / numpad + laptop could be another good point about it.RedPanda wrote:

indeed. i was probably thinking that a keypad serves as a multiple purposes, and a mech keyboard even more. if you want a solution just for playing osu then this is a good choice. it doesn't seem like a suitable option for me though tbhcheezstik wrote:

I'd still like to make an FAQ but I haven't had a whole lot of time recently. Here's a post I made in the noodlefighter thread in response to a similar question:RedPanda wrote:

2 keys for 25 dollars. Man I'd rather get me an 108key all purpose mech kb for 100
-I have a mechanical keyboard, but to use it when playing osu means I have to reach past my tablet to play which is uncomfortable.
-I wouldn't necessarily say a mechanical keyboard is inherently better for playing the game when accounting for travel distance. Especially when playing a game like this, it's very difficult to not bottom out the keys with a linear keyswitch since there's no bump. If you have this in mind when shopping for a keyboard, you could get tactile switches, but even then it's still somewhat difficult to discern the actuation point in the heat of the game. I haven't included this in the product description (because I forgot) but I include two 2 mm o-rings (so 4 mm total) to lower the travel distance to just a little bit after the actuation point, which should make them a lot easier to hit in quick sequence.
-Reducing wear on your keyboard. It would suck to be typing and find out that your z or x keys stopped working.
-Portability if you move around a lot/have multiple computers.
-Customization without having to buy a whole set of keycaps.
If it seems cost prohibitive, keep in mind that I'm just making these for fun and not really making much of a profit. They do take time to make and I don't want to outsource to child labor

I've been searching for one like this for a long time, and I guess I did.

Hello everyone! The keypads are back up on my shop.
I've gotten a lot of emails for this batch asking when they will be available, so I've made a newsletter here: [link]
This should make it a lot easier to let everyone know instead of trying to separately manage Etsy messages, PMs here, emails, and twitter.
The only major addition to this batch is the new keyswitch options. You can now choose between the 4 major Cherry MX keyswitch variants as well as greens and clears! This is also a batch of 20 instead of the previous batches of 10, so it shouldn't sell out quite as quickly.
I'm also working on my website so I can have a page that shows information and pricing when they're out of stock on Etsy (since I can't leave the page up for a sold out item, weird.) I'm hoping to have that up within the next few days but it's mainly a priority for when they sell out.

Ordered myself one, will take a while to arrive as I live in the UK. Cannot wait to test it out, must be better than my current membrane keyboard. I will probably leave a quick review either here or on Etsy once I had enough time to test it!
I wish I had a paypal account to get this, unfortunaly I still don't have a credit card.
Still trying to make a deal with thnikk to buy this, really excited.

I'm perfectly fine without one and $5 fees are nothing. It's a third of a large pizza.
Im so very hyped to get this but just cant bring myself to pay like $41 for that cute arse heart sign ugh why you do this to my wallet ;~; I have to decide between buying a crappyish tablet and this or buying a good ta- nvm in the middle of writing this i decided im buying one of these anyway i remembered the backlight good job making an irresistible product @_@ also firstpostonfourmsyay (i think?)

Looks nice, you should probably change the link to keypop.com in the Etsy description to keypop.net though. Looks like the domain is for sale and currently redirects to "Oh no your computer has a virus call this number" websites. I was wondering if I had went to the right site...

I liked them so much that i was acting like a total nerd on the bus and kept asking my friends which keycaps to get, the second i got home i ordered them and cant wait for it to get here @_@ how much time does it usually take for orders within the u.s?

I'm surprised not as many people have been getting the look of fury keycaps. Those and the cloudy are my favorites.
The prices have never gone up. The basic model has always been $22 with keycaps and the premium model has actually gone down in price by $1 since the original listing.Elric wrote:

If demand goes up, I would like for that to only effect profit, not price in any negative way. If I can save enough money on parts by buying in bulk and save enough labor time by making them in bulk, I would also like to lower the price.buny wrote:

Not trying to kill sales or anything but did anyone notice the 3rd (I think) version of the noodlefighter keyboard?

That little monster boasts "Refresh rate：1000hz , Latency <3ms" and it's own set-up program for you to rebind the keys, change how the LEDs work, etc. And the current (with instructions released) model has "refresh rate：1000HZ(1ms)" and "Latency：6-10ms"
