Yes, but I was thinking it was only the top of the key… not the switch pin too !

I've received the remaining HONEY/MOD175S kits but they don't fit on my keyboard (the pin is not centered on the key).
Anybody need HONEY/MOD175S ?

Thanks.

I want to cancel my pre-order for HONEYB and order leftovers instead, so i've sended to 7bot :

HONEYB/CONTROL175/GREY|CONTROL 0
HONEY/MOD175S 2

I've received this invoice :

Order-ID |Description |Price|Qty|Pcs| Total
HONEYB/CONTROL175/GREY|CONTROL (row 3, 1.75 units) | 5.00| 2| 4| 10.00

Yesterday i've received m'y ordre from 7bot! I didn't know it was already shipped! Thank!

Waiting to the #407 order !

Well done !

Do you have considered to keep the switches/diodes matrix from pcb and only wire the pcb matrix to the teensy pins?

I'm cancelling this IC since i've not get enough people interessed.
I've ordered a standard sixty plate + acrylic case from Tex for my project.

$15 plus shipping if we are 10+.

No. For handwiring it's better to have well fitted switch-holes ! Most of the 60% plates are designed to support multiple layouts and it's not adapted to handwired projects.

You'll prefer 6.25U spacebar + 4x1.25U mods or 7U spacebar + 4x1.5U mod ?

Why not an option for HHKB-style split backspace and shift right fn? That wouldn't result in ugly holes and would probably entice many more users.

Also, another thought: it seems weird to mix a 7U spacebar and 1.25 mods. 7U spacebars mostly come from older keycaps sets with 1.5U mods, where 1.25U ...

Oh, you actually expect to see the plate when you're done? I would have expected any such extra holes would be covered by the case.

The 17$ case don't cover the plate.

I don't know yet.
Maybe from me(France) for EU and from ortholinear for the rest of the world.

I'm considering to build another 60% custom keyboard with the following layout. But the minimal batch size for the manufacturer is 10. So i'm considering to run a group buy.

Received my switchs this weekend !

☑ switchs
☑ teensy
☑ firmware
☑ keycaps
☑ diodes
☐ plate + case —> need to find some plate

Good job matt3o !

Ah ok i understand what you mean! I'll wire diodes in parallel!

It works for matt3o : http://deskthority.net/workshop-f7/brow ... t6050.html

Thank you Muirium !

And for the tmk firmware, cols are outputs and rows are inputs like the phantom board ?

I'm currently designing a custom keyboard. Is this wiring correct or the diodes are inversed ?

And teensy's pins connected to cols (blue wires) needs to be OUTPUT low(DDR:1, PORT:0) ?
And teensy's pins connected to rows (red wires) needs to be INPUT with pull-up ...

No i want to keep maximum compatibility with standard keycaps sets (6.25 space, 1.25 modifiers, standard backspace). The only exception is the 1.75 Right Shift.

The final design for my HHPK :



I've added a 1.75 RSHIFT + an extra 1 KEY for ESC (or the FN key if i don't like the SpaceFn layout ).

And it will be a case + plate for handwiring. I've saved money to be ready when matt3o will be !

That's my layout too :)

(Or, almost? see the crappy pic - SPACE is standard in standard position)

http://deskthority.net/resources/image/15232

Yes. The only difference is the classic Right Shift on my layout versus your smaller Right Shift + Fn. I don't need Fn key because i will use a ...

well, if you need just the plate, that would be cheaper. Difficulty is more or less the same

OK.

what kind of holes you guys prefer? Straight or notched?

I'll prefer straight holes but it's not very important for me.

Sorry for my poor english

I have a poker 2 at home and i wonder if it's easier to make a custom plate (with the custom layout) to mount on the Poker 2 case or to make a full plate + case ?

It seems to be the perfect opportunity to build my custom keyboard :



It's easier to build a poker compatible plate or a complete plate + case ?

The whole PBC comes next (If neccessary)!

I am definately interested

Idem.

Any update for order #0597 ?

7bit,
I send PMs to CherryMX few days ago to get an update for my order #0597 but i have not received email… Is it normal ?
