I still really want one. The whole reason I made these in the first place was because nothing else was available, so I'll be interested in seeing prices and features to try to find ways to improve mine.FieryLight 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"

I've thought about that. I'm going to start looking around for alternative cases soon for cost/time savings (they've been on backorder and that's the one thing that's been delaying batches.) Hopefully I can find something with thinner plastic so it's easier to cut and mount the switches. I'd also like wider cases for a taiko pad.Zup wrote:
There's some awesome keypads coming in! I'm glad too see multiple people starting to develop them. Firstly I think that the size needs to be a bit bigger. Maybe a small curved wrist rest would be cool but I'm guessing they're all still not official products yet.
CHERRY MX RED SWITCHES FTW.
Glad you like itDevanX wrote:
Got mine and it works great. Switched from Blue Kailh to Red Cherry's now, Red's def. are better for me. Able to stream and single tap better now.
Hope it gets to you soon!WhippetWolf wrote:
I ordered mine on last Friday! Can't wait to use it! This will probably be the first mechanical "prototype" that I will ever have! So excited!

Thanks for being patient. All of my parts have shipped so Monday's still looking good!Evolveee wrote:

I was actually thinking about it a few hours before you posted this. My friend was talking about the Project Diva controller for PS3 and I thought about making my own, then the thoughts shifted to a different keypad...Sockstah wrote:
This looks pretty cool. Have you thought about making something similar using arcade buttons? The HBFS-30 and HBFS-24 buttons use cherry switches, so the feeling shouldn't be too different from keyboard keys (I just really like that arcade look).
The videos helped a lot, thanks!KevEz wrote:
Wow, glad to see the keypads are doing pretty well
I wanted to purchase 2 for a giveaway and a friend, but my tablet had to go and break, bummer

If the tape on the bottom of your keypad is clear, those are scotch resickable strips so you should be able to pull them off the keypad (try to be careful with them to not tear them) and clean them under water. I've tried it once so far and it worked pretty well, but I wouldn't do it unless it really lost its stickiness. Also, try to clean the surface before placing it down to avoid any excess dirt, dust, and cheeto/pocky crumbs.

Transparent case might be in the near future...WhippetWolf wrote:
Hopefully no one took this idea already, but you should create further projects like "mini-tablets", "bags for your Osu! Keypad", "an option for a transparent case", and maybe a tournament for those people who ordered/have your prototype and broadcast it to support/sponsor your services/business! Sorry if these seems weird or plain ideas.

This will be added when the next batch goes up. Thanks for the reminder, there's a lot of stuff to add in the description. Sorry for not letting you know soonerDoodleBlob wrote:

Update: I managed to find one but not the other. I washed it with water and now it is soooo sticky. I found it annoying though when you had to dry it because it sticks to whatever you dry it with. My keypad is now attached very firmly onto the table, although it could be better as it is only has 1 bit of tape. Thanks for that info thnikk, and could you add that on the etsy page if that tape is going to be used on all keypads in the future?
Edit: I searched for those restickable strips but they are not available in the UK, unless you are willing to pay $10 import costs, which I am not willing to do on some tape... Oh well.
Mine's just an IKEA table with a vinyl top. Nothing sticks too well to it.WhippetWolf wrote:
Speaking of those tapes, what kind of tables do you guys have? Most tables cooperate with these stickers like mine, which would probably almost last forever.

As long as it's polished granite it should stick well. Any glossy surface similar to glass should work best. I'm considering adding a tape option for anyone who isn't worried about portability and would rather use the heavy duty tape I included before for a more permanent solution.Ayitzchance wrote:
Love the idea, really glad to see someone making stuff like this ^^
I'm pretty sold on the idea but just wondering if the tape works well with a granite surface, it unintentionally moving is my biggest concern
My only concern with that would be that I'd need it to be sticky. The keypads are very light and don't have any weight to keep them down, so tape is almost necessary. I've tried to look around for alternative solutions but it's hard to find anything that doesn't cost an arm and a leg when I just need a small sample to test on one keypad.ButteredPotato wrote:
Just wondering, but why don't you stick some rubber on the bottom? It will prevent it from slipping and it doesn't wear out nearly as fast as tape. Also, tape could possibly rip the paint off of some tables, lol.
Even cheap lead fishing weights would still need some sort of insulation for 100% safety (not for the player but for the keypad to not short.) The rubber could match the price of the tape but the weights plus something to cover them wouldn't be viable without raising the price which I'd like to avoid.[ Momiji ] wrote:
you can also add some weights, which, combined with rubber, would keep it in place.
This isn't an awful idea but there's no easy way to mount it to the keypad without drilling holes into the bottom. Even then, there's not that much surface area so the best that would be reasonably possible is two and then it would rock back and forth.ZenithPhantasm wrote:

Thanks for the feedback! Glad to know someone's interested in the Project Diva pad. I got my buttons today so now I'm just waiting on a case for it. 30 mm buttons seem WAY too small.Kaizhou wrote:
So my keypad arrived yesterday, unfortunately I was busy so I couldn't play around with it until later that night. When I finally had a chance to try it out it was incredibly light as everyone was saying, I used an old mousepad to stop it from moving for now. I've been loving the light up on actuation. Another thing too is the keys feel really stiff for cherry reds due to the o rings, though it's helped me practice to not bottom out the keys when I play since it only requires a tap. :3
I'm definately looking forward to what you have planned coming out in the future, I'd also be interested in an arcade pad for Project Diva in the near future!
Thanks for the excellent service ~
I've seen shipping take 5 days to get delivered to someone in another country and 6 days to get to someone on the other side of the SF bay. My estimate would be about a week after ordering, but take it with a grain of salt as first-class is somewhat unpredictable.Yazawa wrote:
