Hi All, I’d like to propose and mock up a Gaming layer for the Model 01. Edit: included layout in original post. [image] The current problem with the default QWERTY layout for gaming lies with the shape of the Model 01. This was covered in the previous discussi…

[image] kurwazajebista: I haven’t received much feedback regarding the layout I proposed so I assume that there aren’t any outstanding issues to address regarding placement of keys? Your plan for the layout is exactly where I would start.

[image] kurwazajebista: I haven’t received much feedback regarding the layout I proposed so I assume that there aren’t any outstanding issues to address regarding placement of keys? I think I’d make a couple of changes. What you’re looking for is optimal parity with a PC-104 qwerty keyboard, …

I’m thinking of trying this soon, but I’m initially at least only worrying about WoW, which is about the only thing I play on mouse + keyboard. I plan to add the following wrinkles though: ESC moves to the right hand pod somewhere, or down into a FN layer - I’m fed up of typing it by accident. / …

[image] pdcawley: I’m pretty sure that having, say ‘Fn + key’ start that key auto repeating at the global cooldown rate until the raw key is tapped again, would be frowned on by Blizzard. Setting per-key repeat rates, with some noise to make detection harder, over multiple profiles for your diff…

Rapid reports. WoW catches keyDown events and ignores any OS level auto repeat, so if you want to get your DPS good and high you want some pretty accurate timing of key presses on cool down. Or you just spam the key and hope. Blizzard have a 1 keypress = 1 spell rule, so doing this kind of stuff in …

[image] pdcawley: Blizzard have a 1 keypress = 1 spell rule, so doing this kind of stuff in the keyboard is very much against that rule. While they have that rule, they have, so far, not spoken up against the NumLock-trick in Diablo3. The trick is to press NumLock, then hold Keypad 1, releas…

That’s a bug in Blizzard’s code though. I was suggesting deliberately tweaking keyboard firmware to get around the restriction. Mostly to see if it could be done :slight_smile:

[image] algernon: While they have that rule, they have, so far, not spoken up against the NumLock-trick in Diablo3. The trick is to press NumLock, then hold Keypad 1, release NumLock and release Keypad 1. This will keep Keypad 1 held, as far as Diablo3 sees it. Many, many people use this to hav…

Thank you! I look forward to seeing how you find it. I’m still waiting on my Model 01 to arrive, checking twitter, kickstarter and here everyday now…

[image] pdcawley: ␣ could well end up on the palm key My alternative solution was to use the 2nd bind slot for “jump” and set it to backspace. I’ve been playing WoW, including raiding (heroic ToS, normal new raid) with my Model 01 for several weeks now. The only problem I’ve had is getting my…
