NotesThis is a replacement PCB for the Magicforce 68 keyboard. It is powered by a cheap Pro Micro controller. This is the second version, more information can be read in this post and details on github.FeedUnfurl
NotesDirect drop in replacement controller. Perfect if you have a dead controller, or you want to tinker with extra options without modifying the stock controller, or you just want a programmable internal USB connection. Unfurl
Notesthis project aims to build, test, and mass produce a Teensy/Arduino USB Keyboard controller, for use as a drop in replacement into any IBM Buckling Spring keyboard.Unfurl
NotesI have decided to publish some of my āarchaeologicalā work from last year on Cy Endfieldās MicroWriter. The original objective was to produce a cycle-accurate emulator. I do not currently have the free time to complete this project, so I will post my results here for anyone who might care to pick up the torch. Click on some of the images to see the full-resolution version.FeedUnfurl
NotesComputing pioneer Alan Kay tells us that a computer is āan instrument whose music is ideas.ā This seems like a beautiful metaphor, until you realize that we have somehow ended up in a world where the profession of musician is nearly unknown. via PocketFeedUnfurl
NotesThe basic idea of GKOS is that you've got six buttons on the back of a device (either a dedicated input device, or on the back of a handheld computing device, phone, etc), one for the index through ring fingers of each hand (or two for each finger if you have a device made for one-handed use). You press the keys in various chords to type, switch between modes, and operate a pointer (when in pointer mode).Unfurl
NotesAs designers, we all know that on-screen soft keyboards are cumbersome and rather slow to use due to their lack of physical texture and haptic feedback. And with the continual rise of touch screens on phones, tablets, and laptops, we got excited about giving the chorded keyboard another chance!Unfurl
Notes"The Pythagorean Lambdoma Harmonic Keyboard, designed by mathemetician Barbara Hero, is an unusual MIDI controller thatās based on ancient concepts and fundamental harmonic relationships between notes.
The keyboard is based on the Lambdoma Matrix, a mathematical grid attributed to the philosopher Pythagoras. The Matrix plots whole-number ratios, with whole numbers along on side (1,2,3,4ā¦.) and their inverse fractions (1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4ā¦.) along the other."Unfurl
Notes"A rash of e-mails regarding and hits to my negative review of the Matias Tactile Pro 2 leads me to write this positive review the Unicomp Customizer, a modern version of the Model M that IBM used to produce. Danās Data explains why these ābuckling springā keyboards are so nice"Unfurl
Notes"The Endurapro 104 has become one of the most popular members of Unicomp's growing family of keyboard products. The Endurapro features an integrated mouse, buckling spring technology and Microsoft Windows keys. The integrated mouse saves desk top space as does the sleek new footprint which is 20% smaller than our conventional keyboards."Unfurl
Notes"My All Things Considered story about the Model M keyboard is, of course, shot through with journalistic bias. I am unabashed in my preference for the metallic ring of an old keyboard's spring-loaded keys. I won't apologize for this partiality, but I will try to explain it."FeedUnfurl
Notes"Almost all keyboards made since the early 1990s are, frankly, no good. A tiny group of writers and hackers know better. They use vintage IBM keyboards. Ugly, built like tanks, and, most importantly, with a spring under each key, and which clicks when you press it."FeedUnfurl
Notes"Super Tiny Keyboard is tiny, slim, portable and functional that you do not have to worry about bringing those traditonal, big and heavy keyboard when you are travelling."Unfurl
Notes"Do you have a wearable computer? Are you interested in alternate keyboard layouts but too lazy to learn Dvorak? Do you masturbate at your desk?"Unfurl
Notes"Keyboards come in many shapes - from the simplest computer grey $9.99 standard 102-key keyboard to variants that seem to come straight out of a Star Trek episode."Unfurl
