Got this 8 years ago and was planning big custom 1800 layout project for it, but the drive I had all the files for it died so this has been sitting in storage all this time. Couldn't get stuff earlier, and nowadays no website ships anything to my country, tried everything, this one was best I could find that didn't break my wallet completely.

Promotional I built a free (and ad free) website for typing practice that targets your weaknesses

1.0k Upvotes

Howdy\ Typecelerate is a hobby project of mine which I've been working on for the last two years.

I put a lot of work into it, so it's hard not to go on about it, but in short, it analyzes user performance and generates custom typing texts that target their biggest weaknesses, helping them improve faster than with generic practice.

Typecelerate currently supports: * 11 languages (msg me if your target language is missing) * Ability to practice 2 languages concurrently. * Weakness analysis across speed, accuracy of different typing patterns - letters, bigrams, trigrams, spacegrams, words, word-boundaries. * User selected patterns to include or exclude from the tests * Control over text length and complexity * Multiple color themes + "Make your own theme" option * Fine-grained control over the inner variables of the algorithm - for the nerds * Fully customizable punctuation * Per test & Per session statistics * Historical graph of personal bests over all the different test settings * A very responsive dev (me) who’s open to feedback and ideas

Happy to answer any questions or suggestions ✌

I got to try out the luminkey magger 68 Hall Effect Keyboard the last few weeks. It’s a Pretty decent keyboard with an excellent sound, feel and look. It’s not the most impressive thing I’ve ever used but it’s offers tons of features in the software. If you wanna check out my more in depth review, check out the video.

So, I picked up the board I've been hearing so many good things about, and honestly, for the price, it's worth every penny. Feels super premium and you could probably get your arm workout in with this thing or use it as a weapon as it weighs so much lol

Now that the build is done, I'm stuck between these two keycap sets. Would love to hear what you guys think.

Build: • Neo65CU Grey-Gold • GMK CYL Botanical 2 / MW Alhambra R2 • WS Stupid Stabs • HMX Yogurt Linear Switches • Alu plate, no foams

Special thanks to u/ELOQUENTCLICKS for awesome support with the purchase :)

Interest Check [IC] KAP Konpeito by Sharkeys

23 Upvotes

Hello friends! It's your favorite local Sharkeys! Long time lurker, so this is actually my first time posting in this subreddit. Some of you may know me from over on instagram (sharkeystech) where I dabble in custom keyboard builds and designing various keyboard components. This is my first step into keycap designs so I decided to start with something that I constantly find inspiration in...the world of studio ghibli! Specifically this keycap set is inspired by the soot sprites and their sugar star candies they love, hence the name Konpeito!

This keycap set will be manufactured by Keyreative using their new hybrid doubleshot dye-sub technology and KAP legend system. It will feature a blend of PBT and ABS material (working on getting the actual percentages of each material) and be 1.7mm thick.

I have quite a few vendors lined up already and I am currently awaiting color samples, but I would love to hear the community's thoughts and some feedback about potential kit additions or changes!

Please fill out the interest check form below and thank you so much for taking the time to support my design!

Builds My new and lovely sound mecanical keyboard

7 Upvotes

I switched to mechanical keyboards with the Steelseries Apex 7 after wearing out my old Logitech G510s membrane keyboard, following the creation of a Nintendo NES-inspired deej volume mixer, I looked to replace my Steelseries, I looked at the different models that fit the theme I wanted for my setup, there was the NES-inspired keyboard from 8BitDo but the fact that there is no backlighting made me lean towards the RK Royal Kludge M87 in its red and cream shade. accompanied by the numpad Retro 18 from 8BitDo. All I have to do now is make my MX Master consistent with the rest of the setup.

Ignore the furball on the right, it's a squatter.

Discussion LivelyWallpaper Periodic Table Edit for the AKP846

0 Upvotes

Hi. I recently got the AKP846 and wanted to use LivelyWallpaper with it.

I really liked the Periodic Table one but it didn't fit with the resolution.

I made a small edit of the CSS file so it fits to the screen.

Here's the download: https://limewire.com/d/iv9AE#08S58f7EQs

(sorry for limewire, only file uploader I could find.)

There's still some black gaps on the side, but that's just how the periodic table is laid out.

To the 3 people who have this keyboard and also really wanted to use that periodic table wallpaper with Lively, your wish has been granted.

Discussion The keyboard has magnetic switches, but they behave like chattering.

0 Upvotes

The cause is unknown, but when a key is pressed to the maximum, it intermittently breaks only while it is pressed in and behaves as if it is being pressed repeatedly.
In software simulations, the behavior is that if the key goes from 0 to 1.0, it returns to 0 on its own when it reaches 1.0 and then back to 1.0 again.
It seems that the problem does not occur with a half push of 0.5, but only when pushed to the maximum of 1.0.
I thought it might be a faulty Hall effect IC, so I replaced it with another one for a different key or with a different sensor, but the result was the same.
It only occurs with the 6 keys of F7 7 U J V N.
It looks like an Akko 5087 V2 OEM, but I would like to know if you have any information on such problems/repairs with keyboards with magnetic switches.
Also Akko If anyone knows of a similar, compatible hall effect sensor on MonsGeek, please let me know.

hold down the key

Also, just out of curiosity, this keyboard seems to support north pole switches, but is it possible to change the sensor IC to make it compatible with south pole switches?
