making an osu! keypad 𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒔𝒑𝒊𝒕𝒆 ⭐

[@tokaku]

Updates: 1. Chris confirmed that he was on the Lotus account in their discord server, people pointed that he was not supposed to be but eventually just accepted it as 'okay well whatever'. Lotus customers are on a completely different level 2. He says I'm wrong about the delays because I'm no business owner 3. Honestly, just see this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4u6kGScht-rqZo NOTES AND FAQ HERE, EXPAND PLS Since I've pointed out some of the dumb mistakes Chris has done, it's likely that the lotus3k can be fixed if they actually paid attention (nevermind, they don't even wanna watch this video). So if the 3k suddenly is announced to be working, you know I helped them with that ;) Also if you're a customer who can't get a refund, honestly your best bet at this point is to try your luck calling your bank and asking them to forcibly reverse the transaction. Q: What song did you use at X? Intro: Laur - Viyella's Nightmare Gameplay: HiTECH NINJA - Modelista Second half: Akira Complex - Ether Strike ('Divine Mercy' Extended) Q: How much did this cost? Way too much, really not a project I'd recommend anyone on a budget at all. It was over $200+ for 5 of these (though I can only make 4, I only bought 4 MCUs). Low quantity units are expensive, and I had to buy the minimum amount for each component. I have 100 resistors and 1000 screws, I don't know what to do with them omg Other more technical jargon: I'm still very new to all of this. I wouldn't be surprised if my PCB design sucks still, but I'll keep learning in the future. Next time I wanna make a mini-IIDX con! Being open to learning is really important when it comes to making your own things (but honestly this is daunting as hell because you're basically learning stuff engineer students are being taught in school yourself) If you guys would like to make your own keypads but have no experience with any of these, I HIGHLY recommend buying a breadboard, parts and an arduino micro to start out. Jumping right into PCB designing is actually not a good idea, I did it anyway since qmk is an easy cop out for custom keyboards if you follow their guide and only plan to do that. I should have done this on a breadboard first and etc etc etc because later on when I tried learning some AVR programming, it was quite the nightmare to troubleshoot since... well, the PCB is already made, it doesn't have ICSP pins either. Though I do have a skeleton and extremely basic firmware written outside of qmk with the generous help of Thomazzz3, Xeal, lame and mon! Thank you guys so much for being patient with me. It's not mentioned anywhere in the video but wow, this is really fun and I want to try making more things than just 3 keys on a PCB.

[@TeslabladePlaysMC]

So, I have been both playing osu! for a while (4 years) and been doing electronics as a hobby for a long while (12+ years, not too sure since I started as a kid) and I've been watching from the sidelines as Lotus (mainly just Chris) has basically dug their own grave, hopped in, and dug their own grave again, every time they post an update. Seeing the video that undefined posted was just, from my perspective, so bad. It hurt to know that people were paying for something that, as you've proven, is not hard to make, and there's already enough resources out there, for FREE, to help anyone to make keypads successfully. It's almost like Lotus just wanted to make a rug-pull for money after they get fame! Anyways, enough about Lotus, now about my thoughts of your keypad! 1. The PCB layout and routing is really good and looks basically professional! I was honestly impressed with that alone while I was watching. 2. Your soldering was alright, but you likely weren't using the right solder and flux. If you are going to manufacture keypads in any quantity, get a stencil, solder paste, and a hot air station for SMD parts, and solder the bigger parts by hand with plenty of flux and good solder. You should always have smooth solder blobs, and if it isn't smooth, something's not right. 3. Not really a thought about your keypad, but if AutoCAD is giving you issues, exporting or money wise, there are plenty of free CAD alternatives like FreeCAD, OpenSCAD, etc. 4. How you change colors on your keypad is almost perfect, I was blown away to see that you used hue and saturation instead of preset colors like most things I've seen use. Adding a value control for the brightness (the V in HSV) would make it absolutely perfect, though. That's all of my thoughts in places where I feel like I can comment, since I know nothing about acrylic manufacturing. Over all, you did a pretty good job! If you did sell these, I'd definitely buy one, especially knowing that I'll be supporting you and that it was also fueled from spite against Lotus lmao

[@tokaku]

1. Aw, thank you! I think they could be better imo, I still have space to improve. But I'm glad they were presentable at the very least LOL 2. Ah, I didn't want to go with a stencil, hot air gun and solder paste since I would putting even more money into equipment for this. Maybe in the future if I do a lot of prototyping like this! Kinda wish my soldering iron was using a flat tip instead of pointed *sigh* 3. God thank you, I was gonna go get coreldraw instead of anything free 4. Ah, I take no credit for that, the ease of changing hue and saturation is because of qmk. From ground up, firmware writing would be a lot more impressive. There's actually a brightness setting but it wasn't shown in the video omg

[@LordHonkInc]

Honestly, I can relate to the motivation xD I wanted to get into custom keyboards a bit over a year ago and was honestly terrified of spending +$100 on something I might not even like, so I took a risk and made my own from scratch, i.e. an arduino, key switches salvaged from an e-waste board (I got 105 cheap-but-okay cherryMX clones for $15, that's not terrible), and handwired… it's not pretty, but the materials were less than $30 and it was honestly far less complicated than I feared. I'm thinking of getting a real PCB for my next real attempt, but just as a starting point I'd say if anybody out there wants to give it a try, it's really not rocket science, I mean if I can do it then it can't be impossible xD Then again, looking at Lotus… 😬 Point is, I think it's cool that you're showing off that keyboard design isn't, like, a holy grail that only a select few can achieve, and while it may feel even more crappy now knowing how (comparatively) simple the process _can_ be and Lotus _still_ managed to fuck it up, maybe a few dissatisfied "customers" can take solace in the fact that they can just go and make their Osu-pad themselves.

[@LC-hd5dc]

small point, at 11:20, the box in your house's wiring uses breakers, not fuses. breakers simply break the circuit when they trip, whereas fuses are one-use only and burn through when they trip. probably not the best option for overcurrent protection because you'd have to open up the board and replace the fuse every time the current rating is exceeded

[@tokaku]

yeah, they're not the same, but I used the analogy because it's closest in function to something a layman could understand. Although for the PCBs I believe keyboards use polyfuses and not regular fuses so replacement is not necessary :)

as an electronics engineering dropout but a hardcore electronic hobbyist since childhood, i couldnt agree more. but im still wondering how the heck is that guy still running away with tons of false promises, order queues and scam money. i can build my own keypad with an arduino pro micro in just a few days up to a week then copy paste the code if i design more (im good at electronics building but not programming, i even built myself an esp32 15 remote macro keys). is the police the same as or works with him?

[@sillygoosechinachina]

I am electrical engineer and this was enjoyable

[@asterghost9319]

Lmao imagine changing the keys to "C U M" please make a prototype like this just for the LULs

[@ReylordFX]

"So today I woke up, and chose violence." That is a gigantic big mood.

[@c-valueenigma4977]

This company of sorts struggles with a 3 key macropad?? WTF? I designed my own 35key macropad in 2 days for workflow on a whim.

[@c-valueenigma4977]

And I am not an engineer either, I work in media.

Notification squad 🔥🔥🔥

[@AdamBGames]

As an electronic engineer (A real one with a degree and everything, not like this Chris guy), watching that small clip and reading the small amount of stuff on this video,mentally hurts me. It does not take that long to design a keyboard, especially one with only 3 keys. If you already have software for a dual key design, decent code should not take much to add another one, because, a decent program, would have the program allow any number of keys. I might not be an Osu fan, but I loved this video, and thank you for bringing this awful company to my attention

I am literally 15 and have taken a very simple MIDDLE SCHOOL classes where we designed a game with some simple soldering we did ourselves and the fact that even I, a child, know what a fuse is compared to the owner of (what I am guessing is) a big compony should make an example of him.

[@devanfish2766]

Crazy how he coulda just made a prototype in the time he spent yapping

[@PlayMadness]

This is astounding. Entirely outside of what I would have ever imagined possible. You literally just went "yeah I think I'm gonna learn how to make my own PCB from scratch" and did it in *days?* You're a genius.

[@carsonthornton347]

I thought the title was making an osu! keypad out of "sprite"

[@playingosunow6866]

Play Ring Index without the key spacing. Solves the 3k keypad issues.

[@DeathMothStudios]

I ordered a 2k key pad from them in November 2021. Not knowing about how they are and all the stuff that's been going on with them. Apparently "they have been locked out of their paypal", so they can;t do refunds. Which i highly doubt. And since it's been so long, whoever bought from them almost a year ago can't even bring up a case with paypal (me included). Wish i had done more research before i bought anything. Now i'm $40 down on a key pad i'll probably never get :/

[@ArinoGacha]

I have the same long cat! Well, it’s gray, but I have one!

[@ViktorBengtsson]

This just turned up in my recommended, and I got curious about the spite part. I still have no context whatsoever beyond what's in this video, so when you mentioned the four engineering titles my first thought was "oh, they have a four person team supposedly working on this?" I had just started wondering why they had a materials engineer on the team when I realised that it was one person claiming all of those titles... If someone claims 4 separate engineering degrees, then I'm not too shocked at learning that they probably have none at all.

[@pablodelgado744]

Ohhh yes. I made my own keypad like 4 years ago with a PS/2 board. It was awesome.

[@xclounter6937]

9:53 this guy compares two switches keypad to a whole car xD

[@keita6489]

for the first time i thought the title was saying "out of sprite" wtf....

[@zadinal]

I don't know why KZbin brought me here but I'm quite happy it did. This was truly a great video!

[@BebxOfficial]

now make an osu! keypad out of sprite :D

[@EDlOT_.]

omg... YOU LOOK LIKE THAT ONE *KENSHIN GUY THAT USES A KATANA BUT GENDERSWAPPED*

[@rNYuugenP]

Openinng a vid with a balisong. Fren you don't hold back LMAO

[@kmydesignstudio]

I'm just leaving a comment because I have no idea how I got here. I have never heard of OSU in my life or lotus or 3k keypad, but YT algorithm amr? I was highly entertained by your content and I am now fully invested in this hahahaha. Awesome stuff and good on you for going forward and learning new stuff this way. Brava.

[@RubyRoks]

So this popped up in my recommendations and i thought "Well i don't know anything about Osu!, buy i like mechanical keyboards, so this could be interesting." And interesting it was. I learned about a company i should avoid and also learned where i can find info about making PCBs. I can't tell if the dork running Lotus into the ground has never worked a real job or has only worked retail and got fired for insulting customers

[@noranizaazmi6523]

Oh man the keypad looks so good, i’ve learned that you should always do things out of spite when somebody scams you!
