Few, including me, would pay $250 for a keyboard! As I mentioned I got mine
on ebay for about $50. Add an ebay search and wait until one pops up.

$245 to $295 is way above this old mans pay grade. While there I looked 
for touch screen monitors, but those I could afford were tapped out, and 
most were much lower resolution than the 23" Samsung digital tv with a 
blown tuner I'm using now. Its main prob is I need to open it up and 
replace some electrolytics in the lamp psu, its a ccfl backlight and 
takes several minutes to get to full, almost usable brightness. Made in 
2007 or so, its the right age to be full of bad caps. Next time I'm in 
Bridgeport, I'll hit Big Lots and see if they have anything usable.

Re: [Emc-users] Possibly useful keyboards

2018-07-31 Thread Ken Strauss 
I purchased a "Sejin Staco Switch SKR-3620P PS/2 88 Key Washable Industrial
Keyboard" on eBay for about $50 a couple of years ago. It doesn't have the
best feel for touch typing and the trackpad is a little clumsy. For CNC
operation I mostly use a touch screen so the less than ideal mouse is not a
huge problem for me. The good news is that it is *COMPLETELY* resistant to
swarf. When it gets covered with aluminum chips I just dust them off with
150psi air from the blow gun.

See
https://www.stacosystems.com/product/m77760-military-rugged-duty-usb-keyboar
d/ for a very similar keyboard. It is not cheap but certainly beats keys
jamming from captured swarf.

Thats been my experience with the only rollup I have, plus it takes quite 
a heavy mash on a key to even register a keypress.  Not for me I'm 
afraid. Its a rollup ok, but the thing is individual switches in rubber 
pockets. Simply doesn't feel right at all.

I have a roll-up flat membrane keyboard on one of my Linux PCs and it works ok, 
but I find it does not like fast typing.

Only 1 and not working.

But a much bigger monitor/touch-screen could be handy around the mill. 
Even a square keyed logitech K360 gets hung up with swarf entirely too 
easily. So I wouldn't mind either a flat membrane keyboard, or a bigger 
hand held touch-screen. I do have a touch-screen that isn't in use but 
the monitor is already committed. rs-232 output at 9600 baud IIRC. But 
its a grocery store fugitive, ebay sold hundreds of 3 or 4 years back 
and IMO too small to run lcnc on, 16" diagonal, maybe. Do we have an 
interface for that, or would it take mods to gmocopy to use that. I am 
reasonably sure its data format is xy location and keydown for as long 
as the finger rests there.
