My keypad just arrived today and you just released v2?! Is this what Iphone users feel like when the S comes out right after they buy the normal one? Well no helping it, good job with these. I'm loving mine so far c:
Sorry, I'm pretty fast with this stuff. I've been sitting on the code for months so I had to jump when i finally found the Teensy LC :pMafuuu wrote:

Looks great!Wingler wrote:
I recently got my Holyoops in the mail and let me say they look pretty good on this keypadPic
sorry about that potato quality
The new teensy is making me really considering getting another one if it does end up working out.
And if you decide to get on massdrop again then maybe another gateron option?

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:
Wow, good news.
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?
Cheers.
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:
26 days and still nothing.
The last tracking update was on April 11th and the package was still in the USA (in another usps facility though). Can't believe this is so slow
Don't worry, it's okay. I really appreciate the fact that you'll send another for me, thank you !Thnikk 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.

I received my keypad today and made a demonstration video with it. Enjoy.
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:

Maybe red and brown then?
Although those yellow ones look really good but nobody would actually want one
I think the world needs more gateron awareness, since they're worth so much more than just RGB backlighting.Thnikk wrote:
So I'm getting 330 gateron switches to go along with my remaining ~80 clears. What could I possibly do with them besides offer them as a switch option for existing keypads?
I wanted to try out rgb backlighting since rgb leds are dirt cheap relative to all of the other parts I've bought for testing, and I just wanted more code to work on. These definitely won't be out any time soon, and I realize that only means "at least a week" for me, but I really do think it'll take a while.
That's the ideaWingler wrote:

But hey, you could make a keypad v2+ that has all sorts of dumb RGB effects and create the end-all of keypads in general
I could do it over pm/email, but I won't add the option to my Etsy (still no add-on pricing.) Be careful, though.ZenithPhantasm wrote:
Is it possible to put Gateron 35g springs into MX Blues/Kailh Greens?
I could do it but you'd have to catch me before a big order, which are getting less and less frequent since I'm buying in bigger and bigger batches. I'm running pretty low so my next purchase will probably be within the next few weeks if you don't mind waiting a little bit. You mean the ones from keypop, right? I was actually considering picking some up with my last order because I thought it would look cool but decided against it since they aren't transparent.deathmarc4 wrote:
Are orders with custom keypop keycaps possible? I'd really like the super hardcore light/dark crossbones combo for maximum mashing effect. If it's inconvenient for you I can just order them separately for myself.
Glad you like it and thanks for the +1! Maybe it's just becuase I used them in the product shots but there are a few more people going for them now which I'm very happy to see.Pituophis wrote:
love the keypad I got from you. I also love the Gateron switches.
I'd be surprised if you could manage to break one but I have no objectionsBox- wrote:
nice i will buying a few soon! (yes more then one :p i brake stuff easily)
Glad it's been working out for you and thanks for the tape testimonial. I've added more info to all of my Etsy pages so hopefully people will know you can actually clean it nowSytarno wrote:
I love this keypad, been using mine for about a month now and I haven't had any problems so far.
(holy crap this tape is amazing, its fully reusable)
I'm using a v1 keypad with gateron clears.
Here's a small update to the o-ring situation.Pituophis wrote:
This was a few days ago, but Thnikk provides excellent customer support.
I had an issue with one press registering multiple clicks. He did everything he could to help me.
In the end, I found out on my own that it seems the o-ring(I believe it reduces the key's travel distance by 0.4 mm) was keeping the key on the edge of pressed and not pressed so when I pressed down it would register as multiple clicks. Removing the o-rings fixed it and hasn't ever registered multiple clicks from one press since.
I've considered it, but these pose the same issue with the lack of posts on the stem as o-rings do with the caveat of not being able to reliably stack them. I'll still probably try them on one of my personal keypads to see if there's that much of a noticeable difference within the next few weeks. They do look like they'd do a better job with sound dampening.Wingler wrote:
Have you tried using soft-landing pads on any switches yet?
Something like this could be a good alternative to O-rings altogether.
I haven't tried using these with osu so they may not be good gameplay wise but regular typing does the job.
you can't forget this use for the keypad ~ I laughed a little too hard at it.dagambler999 wrote:

Nahh, I have a big, red Staples "Easy" button that does it for me. It's also a surprisingly fun project to do.Parasyche wrote:

There is absolutely no competition.dagambler999 wrote:
Well, you might be facing some competition now as techkeys had released a new keyboard. Check it out:

They use gateron browns, and seem competitively priced as well.
True, but that plate mount though.. I know that you could use teensy boards for thnikk's keyboards in order to do 1000Hz but again, that build quality for the techkeys KB is nuts.FieryLight wrote:

Techkeys is selling a keyboard with no USB connector for $48. It uses Gateron Browns (merely inferior Cherry MX Browns) and likely has only 125Hz polling. The separate cable costs $23 from them. That's $71 for a 3 key keypad.
By contrast, a Thnikk keypad has 1000Hz polling, a wide variety of switches (including the popular MX Red switches as well as the interesting Gateron Clear switches (essentially Reds that require less force)) and only costs $36.
It does.dagambler999 wrote:

If I had to make a comparison (pardon my overly blunt analogy), it's like PC vs Mac. Getting the job done vs. pure luxury. Besides, I think techkeys is selling this assuming we already have micro-USB cables anyway.
Anyway, I'm not here to start a fight. I'm just letting thnikk know the latest word from the grape vine. I'd say thnikk has balls to do this anyways so there's my credibility as an opinionist out of the window.
EDIT: The techkeys board retails for 58.97 CAD while the thnikk board retails for 44.20+ CAD. I'd say those are both fully decked out models (LEDs vs. aluminium plate). Idk if the thnikk board ships with a cable though.
