Ploopy nano 2 trackball is a nice upgrade on the original. Especially like the scroll key and that it's noticeably quieter too.

Visual animations on macOS feel too slow. I wanted the system to feel mechanical again.

I wrote a tool that turns system activity into sound.

Typing = Mechanical clicks

Window Resize = Friction sounds
Disk/IO Activity = Data transfer hum
Loading Activity = Loading sound

It bypasses the visual lag and gives you instant feedback.

Code is here (Swift): github.com/gajzzs/MacOSMiddleW

It's in the initial stage feedback is greatly appreciated!

It’s nerd-mas already. After over one year of waiting time, my new keycaps arrived.

Is anyone going to bring their Glove80 keyboard to Congress? I just found learned about them this week and I'm already considering buying one, but of course it would be ideal to try one beforehand.

Initial feedback from Eldest on their first #MechanicalKeyboard (my Slump52):

The keys are too hard to press (35g red pros for the letters, and 50g red switches for the rest - just what I had on hand), easily fixed $$$ but for now it almost forces them into one finger typing.

The 5 key jams on the 2 key, more sanding of the keycaps required (had this with the A and F keys too).

And from my point of view, as an #ErgoMechKeyboard, the top pinky/ring keys would take some getting used to!

More soldering misadventures with #MechanicalKeyboard assembly - my beginner's luck has run out:

One controller pin/pad didn't get its connection. Checked second PCB and that was fine, so unsure why. Happily an easy fix with a little bridging wire soldered on the back, and a tiny case cut-away.

Next I managed to push off one hotswap socket while fitting the switches (I have done this before but been luckier), and it ripped one pad up (a new mistake for me). This switch was OK, but the connection to the next switch in the column was cut. Again, a remedial bridge added.

And obvious in hindsight, but I forgot to check the top of the PCB was clean before fitting the transparent top plate/case (and I don't fancy doing all the switches again) now...

Task for later tonight (hopefully if time allows), find out how to run #ZMK on #RP2350 as I have a nice red #RaspberryPi Pico2 controller which would fit in my new #MechanicalKeyboard PCB… should be possible as per zmk.dev/docs/hardware

It started out smoothly, then got a bit tricky (can you see the two bodge wires on the back?), but my fourth #MechanicalKeyboard PCB design is assembled and working - suspect eldest will not want to wait till Christmas to try it out - will it pass as an #ErgoMechKeyboard? 🎄⌨️

A shame the Chosfox CFX keycap set didn’t include 1u Escape, shift, backspace, tab, nor anything like a cross or asterisk for the multiplication key on my layout 🤷

My first designed from scratch #MechanicalKeyboard has arrived from JLCPLC - fingers crossed it actually works once soldered up - but they did a good job with #3DPrinting the resin case (just need to sand the bottom a little), and it looks like it will all go together as planned - and in time for Christmas 🎄

Still unsure if it will count as an #ErgoMechKeyboard but that was the idea behind the curve aside the looks 🤞
