Didn't I write that the current keymat is the best one? I tested the other ones on a table and also compared them to the Pandora. They're about as stiff and squishy/non-clicky as the Pandora or a bit worse. No comparison to the Pyra. No chance to get them scrambled, everyone can tell what the...

On the topic of rounding: The Pyra is also pretty comfortable to hold, the lower edges of the keyboard area don't dig into your palms or anything. @EvilDragon , @SneHebNor , I still don't have the next address o_o (Also sent you a PM) I mean, I showed it to basically everybody I met at...

Stuff (i.e. moving the fridge to make room for a dishwasher in the kitchen) took a lot longer than I had hoped, so it's photos and opinions today. What's in the box? A Pyra without screen, battery, stylus, CPU board and speakers. One bag containing the current keymat without keycaps and...

It's here! (Although it must have arrived yesterday, I just didn't get to check the mail. Sorry for that.) I have to do some other stuff first and will post more photos and opinions later this evening. Tomorrow's a holiday in Germany, so I'll send it along tomorrow evening. That way it'll be...

In my experience, motion controls have to be done very right to not detract from the game. Aiming in Metroid Prime 3 and Resident Evil 4 on the Wii, gyro-supported aiming on the Steam Controller and the few VR games I have played on a friend's HTC Vive are examples that worked very well for me...

Youth protection laws in Germany are such a mess, though. The "no 18+ stuff before 10pm" also technically holds for websites if they don't have a way to make sure only adults can access the site. So you actually have to have your users go through an age verification process ("click here to...

Because he's waiting for the things he cares about to become clear? I think that's very understandable behavior. I do that for a lot of Kickstarter projects. The Pandora and the Pyra are unique nowadays, so everybody hopes they will become the perfect system for them. Just look at the keyboard...

This. This discussion seems based on a few ballpark numbers, obtained from what does not sound like thorough testing yet. I get the feeling this leads more to confusion and panic than anything productive. So, go team Pyra! Looking forward to those benchmarks and whatever else happens in the...

Everybody could send it on in a tracked parcel, so you could at least verify if someone has sent it on. Maybe ED could insure it in some way or ask for a deposit or something? I'd really like to get a sneak peek at the Pyra before getting my preorder :D I still have two Pandora batteries in the...

There should either be an xkb or an xmodmap mapping for the Pyra keyboard, which you can edit. I didn't research that much, but xkb seemed more flexible and work on a deeper level in X11. All language specific keymaps in Linux are implemented in xkb. There also needs to be a keymap file for the...

It's also brutally good, I can only recommend playing it. (At least the first Dark Souls. Said to run very well in Wine, too.) Very interesting that it seems to run so well on the Win.

I really appreciate the dynamic backlight my Android phone has. Public transport has different lighting conditions every five minutes…

Not that much, I do that with an external harddrive all the time. It's a bit of a hassle if you do this while Steam is running, because you have to set up the external library again.

Why not create a Pyra organization governing the repos?

I'm not sure if it is valid to compare CPUs like this, but there exist some Intel Core 2 Duo CPUs that have a lower Geekbench multi-core score than the 1511 score of the Samsung Exynos 5250, a 1.7GHz ARM Cortex A15 dual-core CPU, which I assume to have roughly the same performance as the Pyra's...

I've had one of these for about 6 years now and am pretty happy with it. It used to contain my Pandora, now it holds my 8" tablet/smartphone and sometime this year it'll have to carry my Pyra for me. It's not padded, though, it's just a fabric beltbag. I prefer this to a carrycase, it's less...

The VoCore guy made a miniscule 1080p25Hz USB camera, it's currently out of stock, though. (Scroll to the very bottom.)

Bluetooth headset support with bluez5 seems to depend on pulseaudio.

>.< Those things… I still have about 50 EXT connectors and 10 tinyBoBs lying around… I don't even have a screen that takes S-Video anymore o_o

A Pyra extension template would be pretty cool. I could imagine it replacing the battery-compartment-lid or holding on with magnets. Would it be possible to print something like this or are the tolerances for the battery-cover too small for a 3D printer? Or one could attach some elastic...
