if you can't tell that's being typed on the Ross keyboard and I love the feel of this thing. yes. After blowing through an embarassing number of RJ45 plugs (well only four) I got the pinout!
3. VBUS 4. GND 6. D+ 7. D-
I guess if you use an STP plug you can ground the drain at both ends - I just left it open at the keyboard end and am allowing it to get grounded at the host end. Works fine.
Hey wait a gosh dang minute what is going on in here The two holes are buttons and it looks as if two of the traces from the RJ-45 go into a transformer! There's also an unused header.
Interestingly, it comes up with a different model number. [1637511.148933] usb 2-2: New USB device found, idVendor=173e, idProduct=0038, bcdDevice= 0.06 [1637511.148943] usb 2-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [1637511.148947] usb 2-2: Product: KMX-143-750-583 [1637511.148950] usb 2-2: Manufacturer: DEVLIN Electronics [1637511.148953] usb 2-2: SerialNumber: KMX-143-750-583
that model number brings this up, which mentions more of the OEM customizable features - also explains why I saw a bunch of unused pads on the switch pcb that looked like they were for some kind of LED drivers (maybe just shift registers?).
this mentions stock trading terminals as an application, which makes me wonder... if you do an image search for a Bloomberg terminal keyboard you'll find a few different versions.
Did Devlin also make at least one version of that?
Found this beautiful unused keyboard in storage at work. Switches are all Cherry Brown and I really like the feel of them. Only gotcha: the interface may be an oddball.
So my same awesome coworker I surprised by meowing the other day asked me if I go by any other names and I told her I like Lilac and this somehow led to a moment of squee because she thought that is ridiculously cute and it just makes me really happy and no I'm not sorry for disrupting everyone in the newsroom with happy giggles and squee it will happen again
Yeah pretty sure that needs to be my name in general now XD
@dalias@nazokiyoubinbou@nixCraft considering how much defense sector shit is dependent on Boeing and probably also OpenAI, uhhhh, maybe "disappeared" is almost the right word
