Bigou

One morereason to like the fact France dont have any lesson on religion in its schools. (But let’s be honest, there is also a aweful lot to dislike in our schools.)

Hm… I might go the Promenade way, as it seems to corespond to what I want, but I need to study the question more. Thanks for your help.

First thigs first: Thank you for your help.

Don’t care much about the labels. What you see on the picture is the BÉPO keymap, (A Dvorak for the French language) which is how my keyboard is mapped. But what is printed on my actual keyboard is AZERTY, which is what most French peoples use instead of QWERTY.

Thanks for your great work.

Concerning the lacks of pin on some controllers, the function row could always be folded in the numbers row and made acessible via a function key of some sort.

We could also make it so pressig the two shift buttons simultaneously is how you lock into upper-case letters. (Another double-shift to unlock.) That would let us remove the rightmost colum too. (I only need the upper-case lock from it, and I don’t need it there specifically.)

Thanks for your willingness to help.

I’m not that good in electonic, so I might need help on the plans on that front, along with what resistors or diods I need. (I do know how to solder &, at worst, know someone who can help on that part IRL.)

For the design part, I have found somone else’s project I can use as a base, and have switches and some keycaps I might be able tu re-use, but might very well need help with QMK and what micro-controler to use.

That is a far more funny acronym. Especially for a Frenchy like me, since my peoples often say of the ones controlling such big corporations, “they have fangs so long, they scratch the floor”. (Well… “They scratch the parquet”, to be exact. But who care if the floor is made of wood or not at that point.)

I prefer wired personally. As for product availability, I live in France, so it depends on what is easily available in my country.

Thanks for the suggestion. I don’t live in a country with the particular stores you mentioned, but I’m sure I can find equivalent shops which might have it.

That said, I will still search for a replacement. (Can’t replace the whole controller, since it’s not made anymore. And it would be a waste to put working electronics into the trash, anyway.)

Mine have more than 10years. I was very lucky.
