A set of Noir SYM from Round4? I never see these anywhere.

You don't have to be a programmer to use and customize Easy AVR, but it certainly helps. Creating your own keyboard from scratch is a complicated undertaking to begin with. A bit of know-how doesn't hurt.

For the keyboard shown, a Teensy may work fine depending on your backlighting plans. A Teensy ...

It is permanent until you change it again in the config console

Reddit makes sense for its original purpose, which is ultra-relevant comments on the hottest links of today. I don't think it was ever designed for continuous discussions the way forums are.

I have to register to thank you for this metalliqaz. I found a google cache of your page on geekhack but unfortunately it was dated around March and can't find the latest one. I use your firmware to program my JD40 and it works perfectly on windows but not on Mac. My JD40 on mac is not registering ...

No However there is a similar project by SamwiseKoi (IIRC) on Geekhack called the GH36. That might suit your needs.

I actually have a few leftover PCBs that I never built, I should try and find those...

Plus the change of crowd is quite nice. I'm meeting some people I have never seen on Geekhack. :)

A crowd of IBMers!

Honest question: have we seen a backlit keyboard here at DT yet that we've actually liked?

(Asks the guy with the sample Cherry MX Board 6 ...

Since I don't have a github repo, I've migrated my release page to the DT wiki for the Easy firmware.

Looks like Google has already noticed.

$5 from each sale will go to Geekhack for operating costs.

have they announced a need for more capital?

I don't believe the above is true. They have a hosting provider and they have to pay for hardware, power, and bandwidth. None of which are negligible.

DT also has a wiki.

Why do you have to pick just one?

Yeah I have a pile of content posted over there that I haven't backed up. The longer they keep it offline the more nervous I will get.

I missed those videos before that f***in panty-stain took them down.
This is very unfortunate. Now they seem to be leaving the site down out of spite. That's not cool. Giving that little brat exactly the attention he wants.

I've wondered the same thing. I guess the problem is that the layout is so non-standard, everyone ends up needing separate layouts.

Just make a new account

Always DSA these days... Its a shame

.86? Ouch

Soon, I will start a group buy where you can order these key caps!

Cripes! did you actually build one of those? If so I'd like to see that monstrosity.

By the way, if you're in the US, the_beast at geekhack used to be able to do nice plates for super cheap. I'm not sure if he's still in business, but it's worth a shot.

I've read the Cherry MX specs more times than I can count as I've designed my project boards. Trust me, for a custom like that you don't need to worry about it so much. Doing things by hand you're going to inject inaccuracy an order of magnitude larger than that. Also, custom plates these days are ...

That's too much. It's definitely expensive, though. Small scale jobs are killer.

If you're doing alu, look for water jet cutting. Any laser that can do alu is going to be industrial sized, and probably more expensive.

During that time I wasn't married and could spend money on all sorts of wild things. At least I never got into rare Cherry dyesubs or model Ms

Just old MX blues from a Dolch PAC. The acoustics makes it sound harsh

Ah, thanks. Man, the audio in that video is crappy

Sorry, not sure what's wrong with the youtube embedding. :/ Just search YT for "duck orion keyboard"

Hmmm, troll? oh, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

I've already got a Phantom PCB and a plate. What I need is a case!

Cherry switches are spaced 0.75" square. Definitely find the MX specs at Cherry's website. Also there is a resources thread at GH with all kinds of info for builders. If only that was available when I made mine
