Project mention: The Downfall of Karabiner Elements, the Necessary macOS App | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-30
No one has mentioned ShareMouse yet? (https://www.sharemouse.com/) In my experience it has worked way better than Synergy. I switched after getting fed up with the synergy developers not responding to various multi-year old bugs that made the software unworkable for me (e.g. https://github.com/symless/synergy-core/issues/5992).
The only downside is that you have to "renew maintenance" to continue receiving updates to ShareMouse after a year. But I haven't done that yet and it still works fine for me.
Project mention: ESP32-BLE-Keyboard Example - "does not name a type" error | /r/arduino | 2023-10-24I am trying to get started with the bluetooth keyboard example for ESP32. using the example, it throws the error: "Compilation error: 'BleKeyboard' does not name a type" I have tried to compile this in Arduino 1.8 and 2.2.1 and on multiple computers. all fail to compile. I even tried to downgrade the ESP32 package to 2.x to no avail. What am i missing here?
I've just installed a keyboard overlay for obs, here's the link: https://github.com/univrsal/input-overlay/releases/tag/v4.8
Project mention: Win-Vind: Vim powers with speed of thought throughout Windows 11 | /r/patient_hackernews | 2023-11-14
After some digging around and searching for "how to use the xbox controller as a keyboard and mouse" instead of how to use the controller with mtgo, I found an app called Gopher360 (https://github.com/Tylemagne/Gopher360). It requires you to know the windows hexadecimal value for key presses, which you can set in the INI file for Gopher360. Those can be found here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/inputdev/virtual-key-codes
Project mention: MagLev Switch MX – 3D printable hall-effect keyboard switches | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-04
If that doesn't work, then yeah, RMA it. I forgot if there was a firmware update waiting on my unit when I used it. But there was an update for the software to control the RGB lighting. I don't recommend using that though. The community-made, Rangoli is much better.
The estimate price is ~16USD without shipping, but please keep in mind that since this is a DIY project where you order the PCB and case yourself, there is a minimum PCB quantity of 5. Scaling upwards, 10 can be built for ~<10USD excluding shipping, in case you got some more people around you interested. More info about that can be found here: Purchase / Pricing | minipad-wiki (minii.moe) Files on GitHub: https://github.com/minipadkb/minipad Firmware: https://github.com/minipadkb/minipad-firmware The configuration software is still WIP but will be done soon. Make sure to check out our Discord server for support, help and connecting with other people all around the Hall Effect keypad community: discord.gg/minipad.
