yes, depending on how much effort you want to put into it

2018-05-22 09:12:32 UTC  

Assuming that metric is largely irrelevant?

2018-05-22 09:13:31 UTC  

You'd have to replace the logic with something that support NKRO

2018-05-22 09:13:46 UTC  

i'd imagine most keyboards use a generic chip

2018-05-22 09:13:48 UTC  

That's my thinking.

2018-05-22 09:13:58 UTC  

you'd need to replace that with one that does support it, or a microcontroller

2018-05-22 09:14:17 UTC  

arduino to rescue dohohohoho(dont)

2018-05-22 09:14:20 UTC  

Like replacing the controller with a handful of ardiuno type shitters, perhaps.

2018-05-22 09:14:20 UTC  

then you'll most likely get into problems with the pins

2018-05-22 09:14:35 UTC  

so you'd need to either deadbug that or some other approach

2018-05-22 09:14:39 UTC  

@Tervy Don't? Why? 😬

2018-05-22 09:15:21 UTC  

too much effort/cost instead of replacing board

2018-05-22 09:16:00 UTC  

Perhaps. Might also be fun to fuck with for a while.

2018-05-22 09:16:20 UTC  

actually, you might also run into issues with the scanmatrix

2018-05-22 09:16:33 UTC  

so at that point you're down to basically making a new pcb and moving all the switches over

2018-05-22 09:16:40 UTC  

Although if one could simply source a plug-in controller...

2018-05-22 09:17:00 UTC  

getting into ship of theseus at that point

2018-05-22 09:17:07 UTC  

@Goz3rr That's my fear. And that shit is black magic to me.

2018-05-22 09:17:27 UTC  

oh

2018-05-22 09:17:31 UTC  

you know what might be feasible

2018-05-22 09:17:39 UTC  

check if your keyboard has ps/2 support

2018-05-22 09:17:55 UTC  

and either use that, or build a converter for it

2018-05-22 09:18:04 UTC  

Hm. Clever.

2018-05-22 09:18:40 UTC  

http://blog.komar.be/how-to-make-a-keyboard-the-matrix/ there is some shit about it tho if you really choice to experiment

2018-05-22 09:25:38 UTC  

Don't forget that I'm in Cuckistan. The price automatically doubles. ☹️

2018-05-22 09:25:50 UTC  

then its more the case

2018-05-22 09:26:59 UTC  

as i bet arduino would run you same "double price"

2018-05-22 09:27:43 UTC  

The AK50 would be nice if not for the gay rainbows

2018-05-22 09:27:47 UTC  
2018-05-22 09:27:53 UTC  

and lewd exposed sides

2018-05-22 09:28:26 UTC  

There's cheapo Arduino clones available from UK ebay sellers. Not chink cheap, but still reasonably priced.

2018-05-22 09:29:48 UTC  

>find the perfect looking keyboard on aliexpress

2018-05-22 09:29:51 UTC  

>its just the keycaps

2018-05-22 09:30:22 UTC  

message em and ask what keyboard they used in promo pics ? proft ?

2018-05-22 09:33:28 UTC  

Anyone tried Outemu Blue's?

2018-05-22 09:36:25 UTC

2018-05-22 09:36:45 UTC  

God I hate RGB

2018-05-22 09:42:25 UTC  

Looks pretty good, despite rgb meme.

2018-05-22 09:42:59 UTC  

its not like anyone is forcing you to use the RGB
