Here! Although my preferences are weird, either I feel like running the smallest form factor board possible one day or a full battle cruiser the next day. No in-between.

Love the 122+! What are the specs and where did you get it from?

Oh hot damn, I want that beast. I don't know what I'd do with the extra buttons, but this is beautiful. I take it this is a Unicomp with swapped out keycap covers?

This genuinely reminds me of one of gmk’s keyboards XD I especially love the arrows Is it expensive to buy? Specifically the one with the paper ink screens that were made for banks and stuff

More keys? Yes, please

It's big and beautiful; it's cool. However. . . Gonna call it like I see it. Keyboards like this must have been fantastic back in the 1980s before most systems had GUI-WIMP or a mouse, back when everything was 100% controlled through the keyboard, and when any sort of portable computer was a rarity. Nobody would design this keyboard today, unless maybe for some super-specialized niche.

I'd love a board that's basically an 1800 on the righthand side, compact spacing between the numpad and the rest, but with a shitload of extra keys on the top and lefthand side. I need room for my mouse, but I have plenty of space everywhere else.

Yessss! I have an M122 here aswell, but I never attempted to get it working on my PC.. I think there should be easy ways nowadays.

I really don't like how left shift is shrunk to squeeze the meta key in there

Lorenzi97 t1_iu0orbs wrote

Never had one, but I'm curious to see what one would be like. I call this the "industrial control" keyboard.

I love it but not a fan of the smaller left shift button. I already have the New Model F and an SSK, but so tempted to by this for all the remapping possibilities.

What does the panic button do?

are you gonna add QMK support to it making remapping easier?

Did anyone notice the arrow keys. I thought that was so weird but more I look at it the more I kinda wanted

RiboNucleic85 t1_iu17x73 wrote

Only if it expands the standard layout without changing it, no keys the left of standard 100% left and as long as redundant space is kept to a minimum

This board breaks all of those requirements so i HATE it

cormor-ant t1_iu1bb92 wrote

I am a fan, but I just don’t have any of my own! My biggest is a 120%. I started in the hobby thinking a 60% was so cool, but now I don’t like anything below a 96%—and even then, I don’t actually like how 96% layout is smooshed together! I’m team Big Board.

What’s the Panic button do? Like, what signal would it send the pc?

I like extremes too. Daily I use a 36-key and a split 108-key. Both ortho. Also have several 3x10 for portable use, and a 2x4 for one-hand. Thinking of hand-building an 8x24 when KAM/DSA Playground keycaps are available.

How the hell do you all even use layers on these big ass boards?

Me! I need a 122%, not enough keys for my keybinds on a 100%.

it’s a very strange design — the whole board is these really weird cherry MY switches, except the top 2 rows of macro keys, which are cherry black MX switches. also there’s a little screen with a number on it in the top left that tells you which layer of macros you’re on (has 10 layers for the 24 macro keys at the top)!

i saw it on a government auction website sitting with about 10 other worthless membrane keyboards and decided to bid on it just for this keyboard lol

I low key wanna do something like the big chunky Saturn-60 just because it's just so clunky compared to the more modern boards but I've done gone down the 36 key rabbit hole so idk if I will ever resurface to go back to big boards. Thanks for carrying the ridiculously large board torch rofl.

Lol I would definitely get this for an emulator pc setup, along with a CRT monitor from the an old mouse with the roller ball. :)

Took me long enough to find a 100% keyboard I liked, but that looks pretty pimp.

Ah man I was hoping you had a different one, I was gonna get the BFO9000 but for some reason shipping to me from Keeb.io is stupid expensive, the keyboard came to ~$600 NZD altogether, which is more than I was willing to spend. I've settled for a Runner 3680, which is smaller but still bigger than my lumberjack, which is the main thing

There is virtually no sculpted keycap set for 6-row ortho. Usually you’d need to get at least both the base kit for 100% and the ortho kit. For me, I need to get the Colevrak kit too. Even for a 5x15, I want PgUp, PgDn, etc, and many times they only come with the base/full kit. 😓

One option is to go for Signature Plastic’s DSA set. Kitting is more flexible, but it’s a uniform profile.

MACRO'S, tapdance, etc

I would suggest you to do it with 3+ rp2040's each with the max amount of macro's [so each macrokey can have 4 macro's tied to it, trough tapdance]

​

1: the 60% main

2 the left and top clusters [can also be done with 2 RP2040's]

3 the remaining keys

In theory is it possible to make one using a 108+14pcb? I mean you gotta go through a hell of a lotta work but could it still work though?
