UHKv3 Wish List: The Curious Case of Keyboard Excess

Thanks for your answer, I didn’t think about using macros! I’m gonna check it out.

I’m fairly new to all of this (I’ve discovered HE keyswitches principle like few days ago), do you have some documentation that explains words like SOCD and null bind)? Cheers

EDIT: null-bind seems to be related to some sort of sticky key if I understand well, nice to do some fast strafing

To be clear, the UHK can’t do variable distance actuation, but the macro I linked to basically makes it to where you can hold “A” and “D” while strafing, but instead of causing you to stop, it will just activate the most recent direction pressed. For example, if you are holding “A”, and then tap and release “D”, there’s no pause in movement. That’s one of the biggest reasons people are hyped about HE switches. As for the terminology, there’s a ton of different terms, but their meaning is pretty similar. I suggest you go through that whole thread in my last comment if you wanna know more. there’s a LOT of info in there. If you need help getting that macro to work, I can show you how I have it set up on my board. I had to make some minor adjustments to get it to work with the “A” & “D” keys. I’m definitely not very savvy with the smart macro stuff, but I might be able to help some. If I can’t help, someone else surely will.

I just copied this from Google’s AI Overview:

"Null binds and SOCD are both related to how keyboards handle opposing directional key presses, but they differ in how they do it:

  • Null binds

A script or macro that prevents two opposing directions from being pressed at the same time. Null binds are often banned in tournaments.

  • SOCD

Stands for “Simultaneous Opposing Cardinal Directions” and refers to the physical act of pressing two opposing directions at the same time.

Some keyboards, like Wooting’s, have features that can help with SOCD, such as:

  • Rappy Snappy

Uses the keyboard’s analog signal to adjust the actuation point of opposing directional keys

  • Snappy Tappy

Activates “last input priority”, which means that when two opposing directional keys are pressed at the same time, the keyboard will only activate the last pressed key"

Yeah my edit was crossed by your post, I’ve read the thread and some answers were in it. Your post did the rest ; thanks for those explanations, it is much clearer now and sorry for the thread hijacking everybody!

Magnetic usb cables are a great solution for this, leaving the male end in the connector as the wire effortless breaks free

This! Yes I would very much like the v3 to ditch the recessed usb trench and do something like this
