Smooth scrolling or what's next

Released: 02 December 2018

We actually started to work on better keyboard support to fix the swapped-keys issue. Sounds simple, but isn't. The Magic keyboard comes in 25 international keyboard layouts and three mechanical layouts (ISO, ANSI and JIP). While we get all the required pieces together, smooth scrolling initialization for mouse and trackpad strikes back.

We actually thought with release 3.0.5.5 it's finally solved. While it's much better it may still happen that Smooth scrolling doesn't work. There is no proper documentation and zero example code available.

As this potentially affects most of our users, we are back on the Smooth scrolling topic and made finally good progress. As a nice side effect you don't need to click or press a key to (re)connect to Bluetooth anymore. The Bluetooth connection is instant, except you power-cycle your device.

Fully customizable Modifier and F keys

Released: 07 October 2018

The user interface for customizable keyboard is almost done, below a sneak preview animation. Let us know what you think.

You can map any Modifier key with another modifier key (Version 3.0.7.4) and any F key with whatever function you want.
A similar user interface for the F keys will later be used to customize Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad gestures.

Magic Mouse 2 Discharger

Released: 01 February 2016

Doing battery readouts with a fully charged Magic Mouse 2 gives always the same values. Needed a discharged Magic Mouse 2.or a tool which moves the mouse continually, so we asked two 8 year old boys if they could develop a "mouse mover" with their Lego.

Amazingly clever these boys! They call it The Magic Mouse Discharger.

 12 hours of constant run was about 5% discharge.
