> Normally keys are scanned group-by-group digitally, but Cherry recently came out with a keyboard that uses analogue readout of the key matrix. They now put different resistors at each switch and measure the voltage (so they save delays introduced by the scanning and can sell it as "super fast" to gamers …) Interesting to imagine most keyboards are that primitive. It's also interesting to see gamers continuing to push technology forwards. > But allowing to reprogram the keys in the keyboard controller probably is easier. Longer initial setup time, but how often do people change their keyboard layouts?! It's worth it if the setup is obnoxious enough, and, well, this is something which should be possible, and it's annoying that it hasn't been done yet.
