  1. This is why you guys are probably my favorite company. So much transparency, a well thought-out device with a lot of details planned out, no corners cut and designed to be repairable and to last rather than to be disposable. Truly a customer friendly company that's proud of doing the right thing. I'm so very excited to get my Defy!

  2. Don't quite know why my previous comment wasn't posted correctly twice on my other account, so I'll write it again in this one.

    I think it would be a great idea to post this kind of disassembly instructions in a unified repair hub such as the iFixit website, just like Valve has done with the Steam Deck. There is a page for the Dygma Raise already (quite barebones that is, it could definitively benefit from having more effort put into it) and add pages for the Defy and the future Raise 2.

    You could maybe even sell the components of the different keyboards you have on offer (besides the Neuron which you already do) in case one of them stops working in the future, the repairability of products is a great incentive to purchase them as you know you can make them last for even longer, moreover when people in the keyboard niche have shown plenty capable of building their own keyboards at home.

  3. Any plans to start selling parts of your keyboard (like a battery) to improve the repairability and longevity?

    Did you seriously delete my message with this question?.. Why?

  4. @Dygma: I'm currently using AutoHotkey for text replacement. For example:

    ',ea' gets replaced with 'é' (e accent acute)

    ,eg = è (e accent grave)

    ,eu = ë (e umlaut)

    ,ocs = ‘ (open curly quote single)

    ,ccs = ’ (close curly quote single)

    The great thing about this system is that it’s very easy to remember. Would it be technically possible for the Defy to interpret sequential keypresses such as described above? For example the sequence <press and hold thumb key>ea<release thumb key> triggers macro that types 'é'.

  5. If you're swapping switches, it definitely sucks that practically every time a subset of switches will come from the factory with bent pins. For the ones that are only slightly bent it can be tough to tell until you try inserting into the socket. Typically, once you do a few successfully, you'll get a feeling for how much pressure is required. So if you find yourself applying more force, it's a good indicator the pins are misaligned.

  6. Which kind of battery would I be needing if I want to replace one? Also, if you could add at what percentage the battery is when being charged to Bazecore it'll be a nice feature, since overcharging lithium batteries isn't good, unless there's some kind of firmware protector.

  7. Well interesting and informative operation to say the least. Hopefully, my heart surgery next week will be less complex🤣.
    I do have one question…Does Dygma recommend adding additional insulation to the inside to get better "thok" out of the key presses? Kudos from NYC🗽 " Mis amigos"🙋‍♂.
