Another change to the TinyMod. I've moved the thumb keys 5.5mm further from the row of keys above. I think it's more comfortable this way.
Since I was laying out a new board anyway, I also redid the wiring. Now every key is wired separately, including the S- keys and the asterisk keys. I'm still using TX Bolt as the serial protocol, so you can't tell there. But using the NKRO keyboard protocol you could make use of them in Plover. Of course, hacking your own firmware you can do whatever you like!
The boards are just a little bit longer and wider, but not much. The microcontroller has moved from the right side to the left, but is still covered by the top PCB. The slider switch for choosing the protocol is also now on the left side.
It's different firmware because of the change in wiring, but the functions are the same. You shouldn't notice any difference there.
The price is the same, $160USD for the keyboard, $7.90 shipping in the US, about $24 for most of the rest of the world. Sales tax $11.60 if you're in California like I am.
Hope you like it!
Hi. How do I order and pay?
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to have overlooked that part in this post, I thought that I'd mentioned it. Email me at StenoMod@gmail.com and give me your shipping address. I send you a PayPal invoice via email. Thanks for the interest!

ReplyDeleteCould you provide some physical specs, like the weight and dimensions? It seems very portable, which is appealing!
ReplyDeleteThe package weighs about 12 ounces when I ship it. The dimensions are 8x3x1 inches.
DeleteCharley, can the key caps be replaced with a cupped shaped key cap like you would find on a regular keyboard?
ReplyDeleteThe switches are Gateron clears, which will accept any Cherry MX style keycap, so yes. Look at more recent posts though. I don't make TinyMod3 anymore. Now it's TinyMod4, though they are very similar.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to find a video of someone typing on a Tinymod. I want to buy one after Thanksgiving, but I'm still doing my research. I have a Georgi but I think TinyMod might suit me better.
ReplyDeleteHi Stella. Sorry, I don't check here very often. Better if you send me an email in the future. I'm not aware of any videos of people writing on a TinyMod. You really don't want to see me writing on one. I'm superslow. As part of your research I suggest getting on the Plover Discord and asking some questions there. This link should get you there https://discord.gg/0lQde43a6dGmAMp2 You might even find that somebody there has such a video.
