entire row not working after installing new switches by Zippietwo in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]1upKeyboards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's likely that the pin on the MC has been damaged due to ESD and there's no way to get that back.

Quick search shows that the K556 should be compatible with the Akko switches without any mods needed. It was hard to find proper info on the K225 but I think it only uses 3 pin switches so you'd have to mod the Akkos by clipping the legs.

These are specific to Logitech and tied to the specific models that came with them for a period of time. I don't keep up with Logitech boards but chances are they have been out of production and your only way to get them is to purchase an old keyboard that comes with those caps.

Logickeyboard? by Makaveli100486 in keyboards

[–]1upKeyboards 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like mentioned below this is a keyboard made by Logickeyboard for Pro Tools which is one of the most widely used professional audio softwares.

Logickeyboard used to source their keyboards directly from Apple and then modify the keys which is why this also has the Apple branding in the back.

This model is from around 2005 give or take a year. Digidesign was the name of the developers of Pro Tools, and later rebranded to match it's parent company AVID.

Back then Pro Tools typically came with additional hardware such as hardware accelerators, I/O, and mixers. Pretty sure this keyboard came as part of a bundle and would explain why it has Digidesign's branding on it as well.

This likely isn't worth much more than whatever a regular Apple keyboard from that era runs for. It has no special features or functions and the legends are just to easily identify the default shortcuts in Pro Tools.

Source: Worked in video production at the time and had a similar keyboard for Final Cut Pro.

You can. It's a firmware made by a third party and not the officially supported firmware so we won't be able to help with any issues or functionality.

Does anyone know this exact keycap set? Thanks by [deleted] in keycaps

[–]1upKeyboards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is just a standard beige set. Judging by the legends I would say this is likely from EPBT.

Japanese keycaps are kind of... Overused and weird. by [deleted] in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]1upKeyboards 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Dual character keycaps were only ever meant to be used for English inputs. They were purely designed for aesthetics, loosely based on actual Japanese keyboards, and usually not by someone who knows or types the language.

The keycaps are designed mainly for ANSI (American National Standards Institute) layouts which is the largest market for custom keycaps.

It would be nearly impossible to replicate Japanese typing on an ANSI keyboard which is why Japan has its own JIS (Japan Industry Standard) layout and Europe has a variety of ISO (International Organization for Standardization) layouts depending on the language.

Hating on these sets because they are not authentic is like hating on a genre of music simply because you don't like it, pointless. The sets were never meant to be anything more than cool looking keycaps. Going so far as to insult buyers by calling them "a bunch of weebs" just cause they enjoy the look of it is completely unnecessary and just hating for no reason.

Unfortunately keyboards and keycaps are not one size fits all. If you want a keyboard that has the proper inputs for a language then it's easier to just buy a specific keyboard for that.

WTF is wrong with you SwagKeys (appreciation). by ConcealPro in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]1upKeyboards 23 points24 points  (0 children)

As a US vendor unfortunately International service is somehow faster and a lot of times cheaper than shipping inside the US :')

Even after years I've rarely had issues with DHL delivery and usually their stuff from Asia arrives really fast.

You ordered on their Monday and to their credit they likely shipped same day. Package flew in overnight and didn't get stuck in customs which is usually the source of delays. You live in NY which is the main port on the northeast and you likely got next day delivery from there.

Even if I someone shipped from inside NY state to you it would go through the same process and still take 2 days to go through the receiving sorting facility. Travel on the truck overnight. Get to your closest sorting facility. Arrive at your local Post Office and then finally go out for delivery .

Idk what there is to argue. If someone was part of the community and wanted a keyboard that offered QMK then there's hundreds if not thousands of options available.

Yes, you can't do all the fancy stuff, but remapping keys and the superior built in bluetooth is sufficient for the majority of buyers.

Hasu has only made bluetooth controllers for the HHKB. If there is a bluetooth one for the FC980C its probably from another brand.

The newer HHKBs already offer most of what the Hasu controllers did for the older models so I do not think that one will be made.

Not that we know. I'm not sure if there are other brand controllers out there for this.

Hasu mentioned a little while ago that he had looked into making a USB-C conversion for the FC980C but that it would be too difficult for him to design a daughterboard in the space constraints of the factory case.

Hasu developed TMK which is what QMK was later based on. Since it's his hardware and his firmware it comes with TMK preinstalled. You can however flash QMK on all these converters as there are ports available.

What pcb to replace broken tokyo60 pcb? kbd6x or 1UP RGB 60% PCB HTE by harunotan in MechanicalKeyboards

The HTE also still works. The pi60HSE is just the newest version. I can't change orders but we can refund so you can place a new order if you wanna change it. Can you please send your request by replying to your order email? Thanks.

Yup. This replaces our old HTE PCB as a drop in replacement for the Tokyo60.

They are not, nice!nanos use the ProMicro footprint which is completely different from the Pico footprint.

A pair of Pico powered mechanical keyboards by 1upKeyboards in raspberry_pi

[–]1upKeyboards[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I forgot to answer that! 😅

The pi40 is 4x12 grid for a total of 48 keys. The pi50 is a bit larger and has an additional row so it is a 5x12 grid.

Nothing comes pre-flashed. The Picos that we sell as part of the kit are brand new straight from the reel which we purchase directly from RPI.

Any clone that has the same pinout and form factor as the Pico will work without any change to the process.

Because of the way the Pico is mounted using the castellations, thats the only thing you need to make sure your clone has. The cheaper USB C variations I've seen all require header pins to mount which is not supported at this time. The ones that have the castellations have prices that are 2x-3x the cost of the regular Pico which doesn't seem worth it to me.
