I've got a #QMK mod for my #Kinesis #Advantage2 LF #keyboard: https://karl-voit.at/2021/05/23/advantage2-modifications/

The mod is using a Teensy+ 2.0 chip:

I've got weird effects over the last weeks: left Alt-key not working (independent of its physical position/mapping), order of keys is mixed up when entering, sometimes a sluggish delay when typing text. Could be related to KDE Plasma (X11 and Plasma on 2 hosts) or keyboard hardware, I don't know.

Could it be that after 5 years the Teensy chip needs to be replaced? 🤔

Maybe the dampening (see first URL above at the bottom) did cause some overheat?

The keyboard is powered 24/7.

And if so: where do I get a #Teensy++ 2.0 chip these days? (Or I might to Teensy 3 or 4 which should be possible as well ...)

"Politik der Einschüchterung": ICE arbeitet an Datenbank von Protestierenden

US-Regierung spricht von "inländischen Terroristen". Bei Mitarbeitern der involvierten Software-Firma #Palantir regt sich Widerstand

So eine Infrastruktur fúr #Überwachung möchte #ÖVP #FPÖ schon seit Jahren auch bei uns aufbauen.

Denkt bitte bei der nächsten Wahl daran. Und auch, wenn irgendjemand wieder mal Terrorismus oder Kinderpornos als Motivation aus dem Hut zaubert.

Nun, nach der noch nicht mal fertig verhandelten millionenschweren Steuergeldunterschlagung (inkl. Kinderpornos und Drogenlabor) vom letzten Mal kann man das nur als Drohung interpretieren.

Aber wird schon genug Wähler finden, denen das entweder egal ist oder die sich nicht ausreichend informieren. 🤷

I've got a #Kinesis #Advantage2LF #keyboard. I switched PCB to the #kinT alternative using a #Teensy controller in 2021-02 to get #QMK firmware:
https://github.com/kinx-project/kint

Since a few weeks, I face issues: ESC switched its position with the ` character. I "fixed" that by swapping their definitions in the keymap.c file & re-flashing. Weird but that worked.

Since a few days, they were swapped again. Swapped them back + flashed to their original definition position. Fixed.

However, there's another issue I can't fix: the Alt-keys are behaving erratic. See their position on https://karl-voit.at/2021/05/23/advantage2-modifications/

The left one is not doing anything at all. https://keyboard-tester.com/ doesn't show anything when they are pressed. I don't know if this is OK for that kind of modifier. The right Alt key is working sometimes.

Both were mapped to KC_LALT. I tried to flash both with KC_RALT which didn't change anything.

Could it be that the Teensy controller got faulty?

Any other ideas?
