I've put a file "new_deck.gif" in the files section of this newsgroup. It shows a simple, hopefully doable way to make a kingpin-style prototype much more...
Paperclay (paperclay.com) is like high grade papier-mache. It dries to something like a soft pine or hard balsa --- a solid block of paper. It's a lot...
Hello all, This is my first post, I have read all previous posts and everything on the Chordite website (and much more elsewhere), I have all of the parts per...
Hi Paul. You're most welcome. I hate it when someone asks a simple question in a news group and then gets a bunch of replies with guesses and professions of...
This week it occured to me that having a special chord toggle into and out of mouse mode is probably the wrong way to go, given that I've got all these unused...
I'm writing this with my keyboard+mouse prototype connected to an inexpensive, generic-looking PS/2-to-USB converter plugged into the unused USB port of my...
Evidently Windows NT doesn't do USB except that "Many motherboards support USB mice and keyboards as "legacy USB", which makes the USB device appear to the OS...
Spending a little more time with my new UC 451N converter has revealed a problem with the modifier keys like shift and alt. Namely they often don't take effect...
Well the fast burst isn't the problem. It appears the UC 451 ps2/USB converter generates a clock low on both the mouse and keyboard ps/2 ports about 6 times a...
I think the problem with the PS/2-to-USB adapter is now fixed. New keyboard+mouse code (kbm05) is downloadable from http://chordite.com/kbm05.zip The $F4s the...
Hi John, I'm new to this forum, but the idea of a pocket keyboard has intrigued me already for a long time, and I am delighted by your engagement and...

Hi Peter, You could easily be right about the 3 semi-adjustable sizes times 2 handednesses. There is afterall a pretty big range to be covered between small...
I know, you've pondered the question for years, and here comes a rookie... but maybe a fresh view might help... The problem with the existing prototypes is...

There's much to what you say Peter. I haven't gotten very far toward making these prototypes look like a manufactured product. They're really only suitable...
And again, I'm sure you've thought about all possibilities much more than I did, but here my ideas: Conceiving a portable keyboard and nevertheless being...

I have mixed feelings about Bluetooth, etc. One definitely wants the convenience of a wireless link: no tangled cords, no broken connectors. On the other...
I understand your fears about spreading your keyboard data into the world by radio, but let's look at some facts: I think the bluetooth is specified to reach...

Well, I've gotten back to the project and have everything working (I'm typing (chording?) with it now!). Thanks John, your suggestions were very helpful. Re:...
That's great to hear, Paul, and thanks for that great link on programming the chip under Linux. I wish I'd had that 3 years ago. Yesterday for uninteresting...
Could this be built? If so, could I operate the "single-button" pad and my standard keyboard on a single computer(at the same time)? I am currently finishing...
I suffer from a little-known disease called TA syndrome that's only seen in people who spent way too much time in school. It compels me to try to construct a...

... Alan, The way I understand you now is that you essentially want to put another switch in parallel with a switch on a standard qwerty keyboard. I think the...
I tried to play the .avi's and got the error: "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The file may be formatted with an unsupported codec, or the Internet ...
Well we've just got to find a way. You must see this blockbuster epic. Are you by chance running an antique operating system like NT, just because you've got...
