maemo.org - Talk - TOHKBD rev2

Got my TOHKBD today. Bought from a nice UK TMOer :D A big thank to him and of course, Dirk and Andrew and Kimmo.

SW installed automatically and written well. I found a problem and wondering if it's only me or general -

I found certain keys requires more pressure than others. As sometimes I already hear/feel the "click" but the keyboard did not recognise the input, I have to press harder to make it work. So even if my finger feels the "click" it doesn't necessary mean you typed that letter. Which makes quite frustrated while typing quickly, as I missed a lot letters.

Wondering anyone else having the same problem or it's just me? Will there be any method to make it softer or more sensitive on pressure?

BTW, is it possible to buy the files for 3D printing case to I can re-print outer shell using ABS? :)

Insensitive keys improve with time, but there are some tricks (not necessarily endorsed by the makers) here:

Yes, others do have the same problem (among other problems), but it's an unwritten rule not to talk about it. If you really must get it out of your system, then the usual preferred way of mentioning it is:

Thanks!! This is the best keyboard I have ever used!
I just have a very slight problem... The keys don't work. But other than that, it's awesome!

Haha I get it. But how can a keyboard be awesome while not all the keys work? ;) By looking?

Luckily the link shared above contains some fix, I will try using the method mentioned see if it works...

Re: TOHKBD rev2

Worked for me - I had one key that almost literally wouldn't register. Poked it around a bit, pressed it a few hundred times, now it works fine.

@chenliangchen, @MikeHG
I can confirm that using the keys actually betters the response a lot.
Using the KB since ~4 weeks, the 'w' had issues until yesterday :D
So, expect improvement over time!
look, it wwwwwwworks nowwwwwww ;)
