@davidrevoy It looks very useful for drawing outdoors :blobcateyescoffee: Also I love how you painted the keypad, it looks so fun! @davidrevoy Sort of off topic but I wonder whether anyone has used two 10-key pads turned sideways as a cheap-o split ergo keyboard. @trevorflowers This interesting, but I'm not sure technically how one could match two similar keypads (assuming it is the same model, for aesthetic) because the evdev:input: identifier on top of the two hwdb files would be the same, and then the one with the filename sorted in last would overwrite the config of the first. @davidrevoy Hi Deevad, I just want to point out that USB VIDs are not unique to every keyboard but every product at best and every product that uses a certain microcontroller at worst. That said I'm not sure what a better solution would be :) Just keep it in mind that someone could theoretically lose the draw and have two of the same VIDs @jookia That's my name on IRC, and we spent a lot of time discussing on it, maybe it is your muscle memory. Totally fine. π  @davidrevoy what a beautiful, interesting and useful project. |
