  • It’s hard to tell if it’s a similar cause, but I had issues with double-inputs and occasionally keys would work intermittently on my Dactyl Manuform.

    After getting frustrated enough having resoldered it several times, I hot-glued the PCBs to the case. The thinking that small movements during a key press was causing the contacts to be broken. Everything has been working great ever since!

    If you want to be cautious and have a multimeter, you could also check the connections between the keys. That might help isolate where to focus your efforts.







  • In a similar vein, I’ve seen a lot of auto moderator implementations created. If instead of creating yet another project, people started contributing to existing ones we’d have a good core set of functionality that could be shared across instances. Competing implementations are fine, but at some point the efforts get spread so thin that progress is limited.
