you can also add some weights, which, combined with rubber, would keep it in place.
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:

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:

Anyone in the top 100 of the US interested?

You have been deemed worthy.Kaoru wrote:
I'd honestly love to personally try something with clears/ something more portable for when I get a laptop and this suits the bill. I have multiple mechanical keyboards so an honest review wouldn't be hard
It's getting shipped out tomorrow morning so it should. I hope.Yazawa wrote:

Basic + has a side button for "Esc."armido15 wrote:
This is a brilliant idea, i've looked for cheap numpad with mechanical keys btt they aren't too many. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get one.
What is the differnence between basic and basic+?
I am quite noob about mechanical switches, and you have lot of switches to choose from, where comes in the difference ?
pretty sure Staiain has preferred brown switches for his stepmania smashing, but blacks are supposed to be superior for pure speed, yesFieryLight wrote:

I think I heard this was on blacks:-GN wrote:

Switches: Red - linear and light (45 cN) [linear as in you push with the same force the whole way through, you never physically feel when you've activated the key; cN is centiNewtons and that's how much force you need to apply to push the key down]
Black linear and heavier (60cN)
Brown - tactile and light (45cN) [tactile as in you can feel the click that tells you the key has been activated]
Blue - tactile and heavier (55cN) [you can hear these being activated]
Red is the most popular it seems. Many high ranked players use this (including the current top 3 I believe).
Black is used by many of the best streamers like jesus1412 or Staiain.
Brown is used by sayonara-bye.
Blue is used by SiLviA, mugio3 and I think Cookiezi used blue before switching to red.
So as you can see, there's no best switch, many different top players have different choices.
I tried my friend's worn brown's before and it was hilarious. His QWER keys might as well have been red because they were so worn but the "Insert" key felt practically new. Personally I think red > brown for this reason but if browns always felt fresh they'd be the best. I suppose you could just remap your keys every few months or something but yeah. And I think you can't really go wrong with reds b/c so many top players use them whereas with browns you might begin to feel like you made the wrong choice at some point. But forgetting all of that, the most important thing is how they feel to YOU. Go to a nearby Best Buy or something and try out different switches! =)armido15 wrote:
I think I am gonna get either brown or red, I don't know whether I want to feel the click or not. Any advice about that ?
As an owner of a Razer Orange switch keyboard I can confirm my zxcv keys no longer have a noticeable tactile bump. They feel like something between a broken red and black switch. Switching to QS1 keyboard in near future.FieryLight wrote:

My keyboard uses browns and my wasd feels pretty worn out in comparison to my less used keys, too. Never even thought of that as a potential issue with the tactile switches.ZenithPhantasm wrote:

That had me worried for a sec. Glad everything worked out and I hope you like it!Yazawa wrote:
Okay, so I ordered the keypad around last week and according to the tracking service, it said that it delivered yesterday to my friend's house (had it shipped to him so he could give it to me afterwards) but when I asked him today if he had it, he said that he never got it (wat) http://puu.sh/gQm5o/0c2fd203a5.jpg
hopefully nothing else bad happens and i eventually get it
Edit: okay the package just came a day late >:3 gonna get it tomorrow and will mess around with it during school and i'll leave my opinions, etc \:D/

I'll just have to wait. Have a good vacation!
I'm going to start working on that next while I have some down time. I'm hoping to have it done before all of my parts come in, but if I don't it might get pushed back up a bit. I don't think it'll be that much work though, so probably by tomorrow or Wednesday.Storb wrote:
Any chance on releasing a guide on how to remap the keys each button is bound to (including escape, if possible)?
Dude! You should totally do these, I haven't order one of your keypads yet because they always sell out when I get paid. Unlucky timing I guess, but if you do these custom orders, I'm down to buy it. I want the nice keycaps in the video too.Thnikk wrote:
I finished a special keypad I made for my friend today. It's using a Pro Trinket which has a lot more pins for buttons and analog pins for controlling LED brightness, but is still using USB 1.1 so the polling rate is still capped at 125. This is what I've been working on in all of my previous videos. It has four lighting modes-- "reactive" fade-out, on, off, and "breathe". I would like to eventually have a higher polling rate model with all of these lighting effects, but I'm trying to find a nice alternative board to a Teensy to avoid adding $13 to the cost, thus adding $13 to the price. If anyone was actually interested in this model in the video just for the lighting effects, let me know. The price would be ~$35 WITHOUT keycaps, plus the usual $1 for white DSA, $7 for keypop doubleshot, etc.
That's nice to hear dude! (Although I'm not too familiar with Project Diva hehe)Thnikk wrote:

I'm planning on having everything back up by the end of the week, probably sooner. I'm out of shipping boxes which is kind of a big deal...
I'm going with $47 shipped for now (to the US.) I made one for myself and I only have parts for one left now. I'm still working out the kinks, but if you're interested, PM me and I can hold the parts for you.Nantakuuu wrote:

How much do you think it would be? Man, I'm going broke for osu.
Boxes are in (and much much nicer than my older ones!) Still waiting for some keycaps to come in (for sure by Friday) and everything will be back up.inohdtx wrote:

I don't have the extra money, but I will next month. If you are still doing these next monthThnikk wrote:
Everything is back up on the shop! New additions include red and blue dsa keycaps (also available for basic and basic+), red and blue "bottle" translucent keycaps, red 8-bit heart translucent keycaps, frosted blue and orange keycaps, and Gateron clear switches (which were available before but I'm saying it again to sound more official.)
I have a lot of extras this time around so there should be less or no down time after this "batch" sells out.
