The Beamkaiju!

I have rev6a motherboard, with a UK BigAssEnter keyboard. I was going to try to make my replacement ANSI.
Most likely, the differences between membrane revisions is only in optimizing traces to reduce copper (ar aluminum?) usage to reduce cost. but the logical key matrix, and likely the connector ...

thanks. not easier enough, though. I'm actually baffled by how hard it is to find more info on this.

edit: I've been trying to run this through my own enhancements, but those tight parallel traces aren't detailed enough to be helpful.

edit: if anyone is willing to pull apart their keyboard, and ...

absolutely! do you have a higher res version?

I just bought (as-is, as a project) an A500, and found out the keyboard membrane was removed by the (or A) previous owner. I have a layout ready, and a PCB in design, but I can't seem to be able to find how the membrane matrix is laid out. if anyone can help me with that, I can trace my PCB ...

If someone is selling these, I'm certainly looking to buy. I don't mind the caps being taller than normal.

I was looking around for a Model F, and ran into this. Does anyone have any info on it?

Apparently, there's also a Choc Mini switch coming.

I'd like to be able to take it apart, but it's still in active use the panel underneath says it's a H9613, M/N: 108RX338-210E


this is the panel it's attached to

I'm fearing they may be DIY one offs, but if anyone knows where they can be bought, let me know.

do I especially need a reason? I have fat fingers, I want more keys, and I want something to do. if I were really going all out, I'd add dozenal numbers to it, as well.

Hey, welcome. Building keyboards is a lot of fun. :)

Speaking of these layouts, you will probably have difficulties sourcing non-standard row height keys... Getting three switches to fit into the place of two might also be an issue. Can you explain what your requirements are for a keyboard (the ...

OK, bit of a revision, not done yet. edit: more revision edit2: even more revision and a compact version

Since I can't find what I want in anything I can buy, I'd like to build my own. I've already designed a layout and (most of a) keymap, now I need to figure out hardware. I would like to use either Kailh's or Gateron's new low profile switches, but can't find where to buy any of them, so I'll ...
