Look out for PS2 and a hard requirement to program them via a real PS2 (not a USB emulated port).
I've bought one (cherry switches sans keycaps), filled it with blank keycaps and now I need to put together some electronics to make it useful (it looks like it uses something like SPI internally).
But first, I'm stuck trying to remember why I thought it would be cool. Because it's just an 8x16 grid of switches.

- afandian 6y agoAt least that hybrid model with QWERTY has aplausable use case. But mine is just a grid. As for mine, there's only so many shortcuts you can assign to 128 anonymous keys...
