where is the easiest place to source pcb mounted cherry stabs?

IMSTO has them as well as Mouser. Anyone know how many and what sizes you get for $10?

They are not the original one. AFAIK.

I'd like to order these items:

2x Face U replica, support ISO €30
1x Acrylic plate (support ISO) for Face U, €7
1x Aluminium plate (support ISO) for face U, €19

Thanks for the GB Tinnie!

Gotta get in on this.

1x Face U replica, support ISO, €30
1x Aluminium plate (support ISO) for face U, €19

Wait a minute... The microcontroller for the MX Mini U replica is an ATmega32u2 or ATmega32u4, right?
It is not some type of 8-bit AVR µC without hardware USB support like the ATmega32A ?
If the µC is one without built-in USB support, then I would like cancel my order.

OP says atmega32, but you're right: Atmel says no USB on the base version:

We really need ATmega32U4, like in the Teensy 2:

Any pics of what the aluminum plate will look like?

1x Face U replica, support ISO, €30
1x Acrylic plate (support ISO) for Face U, €7

Thanks!

Let me work a few things out before placing my order.

Thanks!

1 Face-U Replica
1 Face0-U Acrylic Plate

Thank you.

Thank you Muirium, i was trying to find them on Mouser, but i am not familiar enough with the part numbers to navigate it.

I believe it's an ATmega32A-AU but I can't say for sure...

From what I have gathered searching quickly on the 'Net, the Face U and MX-mini U would run the ATmega32A-AU at 12MHz, with the PS2AVRU firmware. It is quite featured with layers and macros and can auto-sense to support both USB and PS/2. I see no dedicated counter/multiplexer or LED driver chip, so I suppose that the µC also drives the LEDs directly. That's a lot of things in firmware, and I don't think any of the firmwares for the ATmega32U4 can do all that.
However, this GB is not for the original FaceU or MX-miniU but for replicas with also support for ISO.

it's called faceu replica because the schematics for that are freely available. I believe the seller simply added ISO compatibility looking at the facew. the controller is very likely the same, but I'll have tinnie ask for confirmation.

I'd like:
1 faceU replica PCB
1 faceU Aluminum Plate
1 MX Mini U repblica PCB
1 MX Mini U acrylic Plate

1x Face U replica
1x Aluminium plate (support ISO) for face U

Thanks

Updated my order to include alu plate ISO

E: Can we get pictures of the plates? So can start planing the case

Could you please post some pictures of the plates and cases?

Cheers!

confirmed it's an atmega32a, so V-USB, meaning we are not that free to burn whatever we want on it. The are still very easy to burn but we would need a custom firmware.

For me is Ok, I have a Windows VM that I use when I really need Windows, and my work laptop is also running Windows. So for me is more than Ok.
Let the invoice come

The aluminium plate for face u is ANSI compatible or just ISO ?

Is there a "normal"/easy way to reconfigure/reburn it, at least in Windows, with the default firmware?

Yep, on Windows http://boot.winkeyless.kr/bootMapper/
And https://github.com/showjean/ps2avrU

Aha, something like step 3 on this page? (using HIDBootFlash or other writer)

http://winkeyless.kr/18

1x MX mini U replica
1x Acrylic plate for MX-MINI U
1x Acrylic case for MX-MINI U (if it is not too expensive...?)

thanks

*edit*

too late?

1x Face U replica PCB
1x Aluminium plate for Face U, please.

The Flash bootMapper looks good or easy to handle.

CeeSA: Never got too late.

Update: MX-mini u will be delayed for a week.

To change the layout you just turn on the keyboard with Q pressed and burn the new firmware via USB. I'm pretty confident this will work with linux as well, but I can't tell for sure.
