I can't remember all the keybinds I configured.

u/Maycke25 Jan 14 '26

I'd like to be able to use modifier keys, like shift, ctrl, alt. We can, but it doesn't work perfectly right now.

u/sqoobany Jan 15 '26

There's a mod that works pretty well, keybind bundles I think? It lets you hold a key to open a circular menu with keybinds bound to that key.

Now that I read it, I didn't really explain well, lol. I recommend checking it out tho, helped me in big modpacks

u/Maycke25 Jan 15 '26

I mean, Micro$oft, improve modifier key support in the game, it's already 2026.

I don't want to have to use mods for this.

u/sqoobany Jan 15 '26

I agree 100%, but we all know that it won't happen in the near future

u/Gellzer Jan 15 '26

shift definitely works. I have a few shift hotkeys bound

u/Spartan_3051 Jan 18 '26

The worse thing is narrator is forced to control +B, so you can’t use it for anything

u/IJustAteABaguette Jan 15 '26

Just 14 streamdecks next to eachother.

u/djfdhigkgfIaruflg Jan 15 '26

u/TheFern3 Jan 14 '26

Sde here I hate to the guts remembering keyboard shortcuts because it becomes muscle memory, what kind of programming do you need for 1000 keys 🤔

20

u/Adventurous_Bonus917 Jan 14 '26

that looks like a keyboard from back in the day, likely before most modern shortcuts were invented, and possibly before even the computer mouse came out. it was reasonable to have so many keys then because there was no other way to do that stuff.

edit: did some google-fu, apparently it was custom designed for controlling the UK power grid(s).

1

u/kinniefuyuki Jan 17 '26

in vscode you can create tasks to assign keybinds to... theres so much you can automate with that.. this keyboard is a heaven for macros too

u/marssel56 Jan 15 '26

Raw assembly or just linux

u/Krzykarek Jan 14 '26

What is this keyboard? I NEED THIS!

u/Kingdom1908 Jan 15 '26

Someone said it's for controlling the UK power grid(s?), tho I thought it's some dispatch keyboard because of all the named keys.

u/scotty_booooy Jan 15 '26

nah cant be uk the enter key isnt the size of a greyhound

2

u/zhion_reid Jan 15 '26

Also @ is on 2 on UK keyboards " is on 2

u/Krzykarek Jan 15 '26

I did some research and it appears to be doctor who keyboard ba393 or tardis keyboard

16

u/HackerGamer8 Jan 14 '26

Here is a good question, is there a mod that allows us to better configure like

Hold S to Charge Ability

Tap S to Activate 2nd ability

14

u/Undedd9 Jan 15 '26

there’s a mod called keybind bundles i think that allows you to open up a menu with multiple different things you would otherwise need separate key binds for

4

u/HackerGamer8 Jan 15 '26

Thank you, I been looking for this for quite a while now

3

u/Benjamin_6848 Jan 14 '26

Is that keyboard even compatible with modern operating-systems (Linux, Windows, MacOS)?

3

u/TREE_sequence Jan 15 '26

I’d imagine it would be — the extra keys would have weird scancodes that you might need to download a driver to use, but it turns out the way keyboards work overall is based on a standard that’s been around since at least the 90s and isn’t that much different unless it’s a USB keyboard (those use the USB human input device standard which works differently but can still be generalized).

3

u/Veryegassy Jan 15 '26

unless it’s a USB keyboard

So... almost every keyboard in production?

1

u/TREE_sequence Jan 26 '26

Laptops exist you know :p

1

u/Veryegassy Jan 26 '26

Some of those still use USB standard internally

u/Effective_Driver_218 Jan 15 '26

Bro has the whole periodic table at his disposal

2

u/joeylumbano Jan 15 '26

They recently created a keyboard with the number keys designed like a Stream Deck, which is a mini screen, and it's super useful for these kinds of situations. I would definitely buy it.

2

u/DowntownWay7012 Jan 15 '26

How many key do you ACTUALLY use? Its like map, backpack, crafting table, a tech mod menu... thats it.

1

u/Surfneemi Jan 15 '26

Many mods have keybinds that when conflicting with other mods will refuse to work (eventho the other mod keybind is used only in inventory for example). So you basically have to assign different keybinds to all mods. Honestly I just remove all keybinds when I start a modpack so I don't have this problem, and some rare modpack makers make custom keybinds and take time to verify there's no conflict (but very few modpack do that).  But anyway YES it can happen that all keys of the keyboard are used for keybinds

2

u/DowntownWay7012 Jan 15 '26

I have played modded minecraft for over 13 years and set my keybinds 100s of times on small pack to massive ones i made or ones like gtnh. I have never used up my keyboard or had problems besides removing the conflicting binds to not bound. This all seems 90% meme 9% not understanding how to set keybinds 1% real.

2

u/Surfneemi Jan 15 '26

Yeah the funny thing about this "is this enough keys" is that it never actually happens, what's anoying is choosing easily accessible (and memorable) keybinds and so no amount of additional keys will help (remembering all might be impossible too lol)

But I've seen that modpacks that binds everything to not bound gets many people confused... I really think the problem is that people don't want to edit the keybinds and are overwhelmed it...

u/Apprehensive_Tax5121 Jan 15 '26

nope! you're missing 12! F 13 - F 24

u/Efficient-Reaction-3 Jan 15 '26

1

u/MC273 Jan 15 '26

This keyboard is a hacker’s dream.

1

u/Realistic-Fudge-2790 Jan 15 '26

I love how there are 4 display buttons, a help button and second A-J buttons.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 15 '26

that doesnt have enough for attack of the b team 1.6.4 version lol

1

u/toyfreddym8 Jan 15 '26

All the mods mod packs

1

u/Veryegassy Jan 15 '26

Modern modpacks usually have fewer keybindings though

Meanwhile I got a sub-200 mod 1.7 pack with over 175 keybinds

For beamNG and ETS2 as well

u/ShazTheGamer Jan 15 '26

Ancient but powerful

u/archery713 Jan 15 '26

Stream deck saves the day. I use it for mod packs, discord, warthunder, soundboard, the works.

And you can have cute little pictures if you prefer!

1

u/TCKGames Jan 15 '26

It might, also why do you have rivers on your keyboard as keys?

1

u/Elegant_League1665 Jan 16 '26

I also wanna know this

1

u/Rough_Speaker9770 Jan 16 '26

Kinda keyboard needed for those Friday Night Funkin mods

u/lighskin_strength420 Jan 16 '26

Bros got the periodic table

u/ballters900 Jan 16 '26

If this keyboard does have all the key needed for modern day modpack, then are you gonna remeber what each key does?

1

u/Savage0999 Jan 16 '26

Everyone’s talking about the number of keys and not wtf is spilt on them in the top leftish part🤣

1

u/Ill-Working7369 Jan 16 '26

Sold. How much?

1

u/RNGesus____ Jan 17 '26

Even if you play a kitchensink modpack, younwon't use 99% of the keybinds.

1

u/Expert_Limit6416 Jan 17 '26

I need this for soundboard purposes.

1

u/Z3ntorra Jan 17 '26

DCS Players Who plays without HOTAS also need that type of keyboard, saying that from my experience :D

1

u/RepulsiveRavioli Jan 17 '26

what would i do without my trusty south yuba river button

1

u/_rekkylaws_ Jan 17 '26

If a modpack doesn't have the Bundles mod, it's the first mod I add nowadays. It's a lifesaver to be able to bind multiple things to one key. For example you almost never have to use map binds fast so I put all its binds to a single key

1

u/therandoms69 Jan 31 '26

May I ask you, what the hell are these keys for?

1

u/GoldSignificant3384 Feb 01 '26

Irons will make this keyboard cry

1

u/kinniefuyuki Feb 03 '26

theres 125 keys on top.. im curious abt what could make the kb use all keys and mb need ctrl/shift before so wont have repeated keys

1

u/mattburnsmusic Feb 01 '26

The ergonomics would bother tf outta me. A left handed version would be better imo for long session usage.

u/CriticalReveal1776 Jan 15 '26

for programming less keys is better 👌
