I just want one to use as a MIDI keyboard.

I’m a tracker kid. Jeskola Buzz ftw. Give me velocity-sensitive QWERTY and I will finally be complete.



> velocity-sensitive QWERTY

I would love to have a keyboard where if you hit the switches hard it automatically capitalizes the character. Then those late night nerd rages will be naturally in all caps as the switches are slammed in fury.

Yes! Also, if I could use a rotary encoder knob to input midi cc information, I’d be happy.

Gosh. Would have never considered such a thing ...

PS. Also, perhaps, coupled with some sort of OSD-autocomplete based on key press velocity ...

... could be interesting just for typing. Messy, but interesting ...
