Too bad. Hope you find a solution, so you can start 'clacking' quickly again.

Will report. But I fear the 1mm is too thick, unless it is very soft. (I ordered it for experimenting with self adhesive bumpers)

I think what you are describe is what I thought was originally meant with the small support arm. Try and close it on a thin piece of paper, touching the support arm. if that changes the sound, you nailed the culprit.

Yes could have been handy, I only got a delete button, but I think that would be overkill. Despite some of the accusations could be seen as slander I leave some slack for rants, unless the staff feels otherwise.

Sigh.... This thread that was supposed to be a thread on known bugs, has drifted into a discussion thread with possible bugs and comments on them, making it impossible for new users to easily find if a bug is already known, reported and verified.... I guess we will have to swing the split and merge axe again... 😥

Yes. these wild conspiracy theories are getting a bit tiresome. You really have to have a Donald brain to think that they would produce and send well over a thousand extra units if they planned to run. I guess the next wave of posts we will see from these guys are that F(x)tec is behind the Corona virus, as an excuse for not delivering 🤪😱

Too me that looks like he has added the supplied screen protector.

The self adhesive felt is about 0.50mm (EXCLUDING the wax-paper it delivered on)

Only that I do not know where to get it just as thin/soft. 🙂 But sure should technically be expected to be more durable, and easier to keep clean. ADD: I already ordered some 1mm neoprene adhesive, but it has not arrived yet, so do not how good/bad it would work. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/223689641795

Oh that looks bad. Hopefully it is 'just' a scratch. You should contact support.

You can get some self adhesive felt/velour that is thinner. E.g. used in jewel-boxes. e.g. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/223087344986 And yes, applying at the corners gives a more swoof than clang sound. When you have those four I would suggest adding two more in the middle, so it is more firm 'squeezing' in the hand.

E.g. the E7 had four rubber 'feet' between the two halves that did this.

The slider open, is NOT a straight push, as one intuitively will think. There are several ways to open it, see some including small slo-mo videos here With the qwertZ you need to explicitly chose German. But I would STRONGLY suggest you Trying FinQWERTY, that supports Swedish layout adding the Å.

I agree that it is normal.... but certainly not that it is how it should be..... Luckily there is a VERY easy fix, as described above, It was one of the first things I did when I got my hands on a pre-production unit. And I showed it to F(x)tec at the London Event. (I even gave them some felt to experiment with...) I had hoped it had been handled in the released units, So the users would not have to do this individually. As there (obviously) is some tolerance in design, other strategically placed pieces can do wonders to get a more luxurious feeling. I had eight on the Pre-pro

You explained the root of it already. On a large keyboard we typically get some mechanism that ensure a parallel movement of the large spacebar to trigger one contact only. Not on such a compact keyboard. IF you press in the middle you will press more than one contact (and hence need more force), but if you press the spacebar closer to it's ends (within a quarter from each end), you will only press one. Try to press and hold one end, and then press the other end to check. Secondly hold a finger lightly over one end, and then see how far in you can press without the other and going down too.

See the easy fix I've shown at almost the bottom of this https://eskerahn.dk/?p=3651 Simply take a rougly 5x20mm piece of self adhesive felt.

I do not know what the original idea in stock android is with the Sym key. But currently on the Pro1 it acts more like a letter key than a modifier key. That is holding it acts like a repeated key. I intuitively assumed it as a modifier. And I see you did too, But we could be wrong and it is by Android designed for something else, e.g. something similar to to current Alt pressed&released alone to get emojis and other stuff. Maybe Sym is supposed to launch a symbol picker? (That is not saying that it not could be re-purposed as a modifier) And despite trying hard, I have not been able

How is making the app launcher responsible for launching apps a terrible design choice? I would actually find it rather odd if you could launch any app from within any other totally unrelated app. But sure they could have chosen to violate the logic of Androids work flow. But they have actually been making a point on trying to mess as little as possible with the system, to give people a close to stock android experience. I can hardly imagine an app supporting keyboard, where a long press on a key is not expected to give repeated keys. So for your idea to work you would require s

I have been in dialogue with @Anssi Hannula on this, and As I understood it, the kcm-files must be part of the APK, he is not allowed to generate or load them dynamically. I did not get the details, but I guess it could be it is a requirement from the Android Market, and thus a political and not a technical obstacle.

Note that this is NOT from he first 10%, in contrast to the 225. ...And in contrast to @B.X claim the prototypes did NOT have a serial number. Even my 'Final sample' from just before production did not. (So if one wants to included these, those could be added to my estimates).

Thanks for the warning.... 😯

@Slion, if everyone did like you and made a new thread on any thing they wondered or wished, without even doing a search first, this forum would quickly become an unusable mess. Or require a huge number of moderators finding and merging stuff.....

Just use left thumb and index. But yes that requires to move the indexfinger from the support plate, but not that often I do Alt+Tab on a phone

Personally I use the "Night light", as I prefer a yellowish (polar bear) white over a blueish one (any device).
