I honestly have never had an issue with stability myself, but I'm also the guy with rolls of heavy duty and restickable tape. I think as long as you're careful with the restickable stuff (which is what I include now) and put it on a clean surface you shouldn't have any problems. If it loses stickiness, you can clean the tape off with some water and it'll be almost good as new.Fyss wrote:

Well, my osu! keypad just arrived and it's absolutely amazing. The only problem was finding where to stick it as I am planning to be moving it around often. :/ After long and hard searching, I have finally found a solution! (for me at least)
[iimg] Sticking it on my external harddrive!
It works wonders, fully portable and stable as it has rubber feet! [img]
If anyone else if having portability problems, I hope this solution can help you haha
Now the aluminum enclosures for SSDs makes sense. Just put your boot SSD in an aluminum enclosure with rubber feet and put your keypad on topZenithPhantasm wrote:

Awesome keypad. I'm using one cherry MX reds, and its been working great. The LEDs with red/blue keycaps looks really nice. It feels extremely durable considering how often I play. I also haven't had any issues with the sticky tape yet, and I move it around quite a bit. This was definitely a worthwhile purchase, thanks!
You're welcome, glad you like it!Fibbbb wrote:

Plug and play for all of the operating systems I've tested, which has been Win 7, 8.1, OS X Mavericks, and Ubuntu 14.04. I think it's recognized as a generic keyboard so it should work on almost everything without having to install any drivers.
Unless you want to reprogram it, then the drivers are available from adafruit along with all the necessary software.
Edit: I've updated the page on my website. Adafruit updated their code to work on version 1.6.3 of the Arduino IDE (it was running on 1.0.5) and an issue with not being able to detect libraries properly seems to have been fixed. Please delete your current arduino folder and redownload the IDE in step 6 and follow the newly edied steps afterward.Storb wrote:

The only thing it should be is the port or the cable you're using. I've had bad mini usb cables that'll tell me usb device not recognized, and a bad port would probably say the same thing. Otherwise it might be a compatibility issue with the USB controller on your motherboard, so if you can try other rear ports or a usb 3.0 port that might help.ZarTaen wrote:
What should I do, in the rare case that it doesn't work plug and play with ALL OS? For me it works fine with windows 8.1 , but on windows 7 it's only recognized that there is something in the USB port and that's it.
Well, now there is the funny thing that makes it weird: it worked the first time i plugged it in, after then it never worked again on my pc. I also tried all 6 ports (that pc only has 2.0), so I think it's a motherboard compatibility issue, since it is powered, but not recognized (I get the error code 43: device malfunctions and therefore is stopped.). Everything works just fine on my windows 8.1 laptop, so i don''t think it's the cable.Thnikk wrote:

Thank you for posting your solution! I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else, but someone running into a weird usb controller issue was probably inevitable.ZarTaen wrote:

Anyway, thanks for your reply
Edit: Anyone with a similar problem, consider disconnecting your PC from any power sources for a while and then connecting again with the trinket plugged out..
3rd Edit: I found a real solution: One should simply look for the USB host controller in the device manager, for me it is a chipset from intel. "Update" the drivers-> browse my computer -> let me pick from a list of device drivers .... -> there I had 2 choices: the standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller or that intel chipset thingy. I have chosen the standard Enhanced PCI one and it works.
4th Edit: I shouldn't have unplugged it..
5th Edit: I finally did it.. THIS IS THE SOLUTION: Step 1: Unplug your PC from any power sources. Step 2: Have the keypad unplugged, and boot up the PC Step 3: plug the keypad in when windows has booted. Step 4: uninstall the keypad in the device manager. Step 5: If you have 2 USB host controllers, plug the mouse in a port that isn't on the same controller of the keypad. Then proceed to uninstall the USB Host controller of the keypad. Do not do that with the controller of your mouse, or you can't use it for obvious reasons. Step 6: After uninstalling the USB host controller, check for new hardware, it will be installed again. Step 7: The keypad should be recognized as a USB Input Device now.
Sorry for that huge post, hopefully I can help someone with this.
I've heard of undervaluing packages to avoid customs charges, maybe this is something I'll offer. I figured it wouldn't be an issue with something valued at $25, but I'm not too familiar with how customs works in other countries since we don't ever get charged customs fees here in the US (as far as I know.)-Mo- wrote:
Hey, just posting in to say I've recieved my keypad and it's working great
Unfortunately, UK's Royal Mail shot me with a hefty customs charge, but other than that, I'm pretty happy with it so far.
I'll try to put more effort into finding them within the next few days. My usual places for keyswitches would be the best since I could save on shipping and I'd like for the cost to stay roughly the same as it is for other switches since I don't charge different amounts for them (nor do I want to with Etsy's awful option pricing setup, still no add-on prices for some reason.) As it's been so far in my search, they've been sold out everywhere but I'll try to comb through the internet this week for them.SneakyLeif1020 wrote:

Thanks. I appreciate that you're putting this much effort into this, as well. I'm already planning on buying a keypad the second brown switches are back in stock, as I've been checking every day for a week or two.

I have searched high and low and haven't been able to find them anywhere. I regret not picking up Gateron browns just to have something (even though they'd probably be better anyway )SneakyLeif1020 wrote:

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:
Also, If I get one, how long does it usually take to ship?
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:

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?

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:

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.

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:
