Oof that sounds like exactly what happened to me, the spacebar on my 3.0 was sticking so I popped it up and the little silicone bit had split horizontally... I was told by Cherry that it can't be repaired (easily) and they don't sell the replacement parts, and now the 3.0 seems to have evaporated from Europe lol (I did finally manage to find a black one that I'm hoping to get, but the white one is just... gone). How did you repair it with the donor? Is it possible for a non-techie person to attempt?

I just couldn't see the advantage. It could be easier to reach the F keys if that was of importance. I'm sure that with plenty of practice it would be as good as a keyboard and if you like using a stick for control it may suit you well.

No arguments here.

There seem to be quite a couple of names for this kind of trailer but I would probably call them draw-bar trailers, I have also heard them called dolly trailers. I discussed them with my dad who used to drive them and he calls them draw-bar trailers but that could be a British thing. I have a sneaking suspicion that dollies might be a converter that turns an articulated (semi) trailer into a draw-bar trailer rather than a type of trailer in itself. This seems like a bit of a confused explanation but that's because I'm a bit confused about it myself. I hope it helped a bit.

Honestly, I just fiddled with it until it felt OK. It never felt completely comfortable, I didn't like the claw-like position you have to hold the whole time.

Ah, the old percussive maintenance. Sort of a shame they changed the design, I've just got used to it.

Yeah. Having taken it to bits, I can see that's how it should work. I guess if I was a plumber with all the right tools, there's probably a tool that would allow me to hold the central spindle and turn the nut around it. I think this one was so scaled up and bent that it wasn't happening. I guess that, ideally, this should just be a case of unscrewing the top of the mixer tap, unscrewing the carriage around the spindle and removing it then replacing the bent bit and screwing it all back together. There was some white, crusty stuff that was falling off the threads as I was taking the top off the mixer, I'm not sure if that was limescale or some kind of sealant that would need replacing.

I did keep the device but I haven't used it for over a year. I didn't upgrade to the Tap 2 but I am keeping a very close eye on the new TapXR. If it lives up to its promise it could well be a game-changer. I haven't found any other similar products that gave me the urge to actually buy one although there are a few chording keyboards out there.

Thanks so much for the response! If I can ask a few more questions: What do you feel is the main performance blocker for this device ? Would you recommend it or v2 in 2022? Did you find any further use cases? Does the device allow much flexibility for key mapping including shortcuts and other commands?

@@danhammond6579 The main problem that I found with it was that it simply wasn't a better solution than using swipe-type. It is a fiddle to put on and you can't really walk around in general life with it in place because you wouldn't want to get it wet and it's not all that comfortable for permanent wear. This means that you have to put it on when you want to use it and take it off (and store it) when you don't. Not the hardest thing in the world but just not convenient enough to make it worth the effort. On top of this, the Tap isn't super accurate with its tap recognition, particularly around taps involving the little finger and ring finger where the fingers tend to move together. It can be a bit frustrating. My suspicion is that the problem is hardware related rather than software. I suspect that the accelerometers can't distinguish between one finger tapping and two. A lot of the time tapping an "O" will result in a "U" or the other way around. The other, glaring, omission is that there is no tap command for middle word selection, so when you are typing on a mobile phone, you can't just do a tap combo to select the suggested word in the middle of the predictive text bar. The addition of this function would massively speed up typing. I asked the question of tech support whether this was a possibility and I got the answer (and this is verbatim), "No." I don't know what new tech they are going to put in the wristband version but I am hoping that it is able to solve these issues. If nothing else, the wristband will be more convenient to wear all the time. You can re-map the keys to your heart's content but I found this too daunting a task and left them as they were so I don't know how well this would work. Trying to re-map the vast array of potential tap commands sounds like the kind of task best suited to coders who are happy to spend hours debugging a piece of software. I haven't used the V2 hardware and I don't know if there is there is a V2 software for the Tap 1. It didn't seem to update the whole time I was trying to use it. It has been sat in a drawer upstairs for at least a year now.

Thank you so much for all the info! That's been really helpful, will also keep an eye on the XR!

Thanks for that. I wasn't aware.

Hello how are you doing today and how is the weather over there?

The seller vanished and set the package as received. At least Aliexpress gave me my money back. The printed parts from Spain are very nice however. Now if only i had the printer kit. I'll try again.

Just an update, i got the kit and assembled it and it's printing ever since. Flawless so far.😅

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

It is a mini clone. The belt is not easy to tighten. I remarked on it, briefly, in my review (also on this channel).

Thanks. I have given up on it ... at least for now. My gadget-freak nature might push me to have another go at some point in the future. Mostly it's more hassle than it's worth although it was fun to learn.

I didn't really think this would get much general viewing. It's going to be a part of a Spitfire flight spade controller. Part of the Authentikit project.

Oh, ok that makes a lot of sense now.

Glad you enjoyed it. I'm still at the stage of not being sure if I like it but not quite being able to bring myself to sell it.

@@Sandman755 I am the same way... I like gadgets as well 👍you should make more videos, your a natural and explain things in depth! keep your vids coming.... Looking forward to see more 😉

Hi what you need to do is put in one lever at a time and test it with the key if it retracts the bolt then add another lever keep doing this till you have all 5 levers.
