    About the hinge

    ..to be honest that's what prompted this line of inquiry. "friction", "plastic", "lock"... something has got to give.

    About the hinge

    Apparently, if it's the same type hinge, then the DS Lite hinge is known to fit already. But I gathered from elsewhere that it's intended to be a different hinge, no notion of what that does to the package dimensions. We'll just have to find out!

    About the hinge

    WizardStan: Not at all, that was to address Fusion_Power mainly. To which I'll add, if you're going to replace the hinge, disassembling the case is no obstacle. It needn't be as easy to replace as a battery, it's something you hope to do once or never.

    About the hinge

    hinge pieces are going to break no matter what. If they aren't replaceable, that would be a disaster. ED is on his second product, I conclude he's going to make his own job easier and make the hinges easy to replace.  The case is "done" (no further changes are contemplated) the case isn't...

    About the hinge

    I gather that a multi-lock hinge a la the Nintendo 3DS is not available because Nintendo buys them all from the only manufacturer. It sounds like the hinge contemplated for the Pyra is made by the same manufacturer. What I wonder is, can it be made with the same  insertion dimensions into the...

    One more point: when I say "blank" I mean without any paint at all, so translucent. I think it would look great as-is, though you'd want to turn the brightness on the backlighting down. It would be tractable to paint characters using resist, airbrush the whole mat black, and remove the resist...

    http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/digital-toy-flat-surface-printer_534135365.html This is a $3200 printer. Roughly 3000€. At 30€  each, that's 100 custom keymats to break even. I appreciate that there are also labor costs involved in assembling custom units. As a possible compromise, can...

    It's the keyboard layout.

    Related to the audio buttons question: will the Pyra have a 3-ring audio jack? If I can control the media player using the buttons on my headphone, I will. If I can't, I'll be disappointed.

    For that matter, these fable negative printers, they exist. They're called laser cutters, and would give a nice texture to the buttons. It would be tricky to get right however. There are an unlimited number of workarounds, Saber. I intend to use emacs heavily (as usual) so doubt I'll have...

    If only you could just purchase the keymats without any paint at all, and apply black where you wanted it, using some kind of printer...

    Keyboard Layout: All of them

    I'm not even trolling!  I'm just an American and a developer, so whatever you come up with is unlikely to suit me perfectly. I would want a λ key. Anyone else want a λ key? Thought not... Good thing these exist: http://www.alibaba.com/showroom/flat-surface-printer.html If you purchase some...
