alandipert | is there a standard of some kind for laptop keyboard connectors? i'm curious about the feasibility of using a lenovo kb w/ trackpoint on a reform 2 when they come out, instead of the standard | 17:47 |
---|---|---|
pinoaffe | alandipert: there is no standard, though manufacturers will usually just take what they used in the previous gen and change it if necessary | 18:30 |
pinoaffe | that's why the t420 keyboard mostly works on a t430, and vice versa | 18:31 |
alandipert | pinoaffe i see, thanks. so maybe the best option on the reform would be to graft a USB one on instead? | 18:39 |
pinoaffe | could be, there's a usb lenovo keyboard that was used with the novena project a bunch, but for a lot of laptops the schematics are leaked, and the connectors they use are usually off-the-shelf parts, so re-using a laptop keyboard is doable, too | 18:52 |
mntmn | if you have access to the keyboard's matrix pinout you can wire it to an attiny or similar like i use for the reform keyboard | 19:08 |
mntmn | maybe someone has made a usb adapter already? | 19:08 |
alandipert | i haven't run across one but i haven't looked very hard. but it sounds like even if not, it wouldn't be *too* huge a project? | 19:50 |
alandipert | (my electronics skills are lacking) | 19:50 |
alandipert | also, for USB, i have several USB thinkpad keyboards i could presumably just plug in | 19:50 |
