![]() ![]() While that may be up for debate, Sholes definitely invented a interesting typewriter along with his mechanic buddy Carlos Glidden and Sholes’ coworker Samuel Willard Soule. You’ve probably heard that Christopher Sholes invented the QWERTY layout to prevent type bars from jamming together. Here are the dirty details - that’s the Suffer PCB from Kiser Designs (that is currently sold out, sorry, but restocking in November), a 3D-printed MFR2-style case, Tecsee Coral switches, and a bunch of YMDK 9009 blank keycaps plus a few from Signature Plastics/PMK.ĭo you rock a sweet set of peripherals on a screamin’ desk pad? Send me a picture along with your handle and all the gory details, and you could be featured here! Historical Clackers: the Sholes & Glidden Image via Antikey Chop I’m not telling you to suffer, mind - that’s just the name of this macro keyboard, which is so insanely cute, especially in this Fisher-Price My First Keyboard color scheme, that I had to tuck it in the middle here. The Centerfold: A Bit of a Departure - Suffer! My only wish is that it could be actuated, but that would have taken several more hours.

Apparently it is sturdy enough to stand on its little nubbin and pins, just like the real switch that adorns the third picture (look carefully). ![]() To our mutual delight, they chose the mechanical key switch for their study. was tasked with building a huge cardboard version of something tiny for a college art class. I sure do love over- and under-sized things, and this is no exception. So what are we going to call this, a box-less box brown? Although says that this giant key switch is based off a C3 Tangerine, which makes it linear. I can’t wait to hear these tiles click in action during a demo video, which I can only hope is forthcoming. Inserting a new label automatically changes the macro! Each tile holds a “simple numeric value” which maps it to a macro when inserted and detected by a Hall effect sensor. Surely there has to be another way, and has discovered one: a tile-based system of descriptors.Īs you can see, the labels are removable 3D-printed tiles that swap out with ease thanks to tiny magnets. There are a couple of options: blank keycaps and memorization, re-legendable keycaps, and little screens instead of keycaps. What do you do when the whole point is that the keys can so easily be changed? Prolific Hackaday.io member has hit upon the biggest problem with making reprogrammable macro pads - the legend situation. ![]()
