I'm guessing this will kick into gear after R4 is sorted and shipped. Probably in a month or so.

Right.

Update? Will this thing ever happen?

Is there really no interest in a programmable numpad here at Deskthority?

Please add blank plum and lime keys in 1u, 1ur, 1.25u, 1.5u, 1.75u, 2u and 2u2s

Maybe someone could simply design a 6x4 keypad with the same footprint (front-to-back) as the Phantom, as a small add-on to any TKL keyboard. You could program those keys to be anything you want, if you dont want just a numberpad. And you could place it to the right or left of your TKL board, per ...

with only one color in the "advanced group" everyone has to buy that color, hence lower price. If we reach high volumes I'm more than happy to add more options (if our US proxy agrees). I have no idea how this will go, maybe we will get just 50 orders, and in that case it is better to stick with ...

Will kit 7, 8, 9 & 10 be available in plum color to? The pricing would be the same in that case right?

yes, price would be the same, but I'd prefer not to dilute the orders too much between colors.
How so? If a kit breaks the first price tier people wants it and in that case it is worth to ...

I hope there are two 1u commodore keys in KIT 2 & KIT 3

mmmh not sold yet :)
Each of these should have 2 1-unit Commodore keys. I won't buy those 2 kits anyway, so I don't care but when you add the 1.5 units modifiers to these, they are quite useful. Also useful as function or Escape replacement.

The blanks in the ISO-kit: Maybe it would be better to ...

why is it clear keys in the Iso kit?
Thought there would be no clear keys in any kit?

7bit wrote:2 one unit Commodore keys into Kit 2?
Would be a great idea! They also can be used as Escape or so.

Kit 2 AND 3

exactly, to fill the gap.
I would rather see two key with the commodore logo than two blanks though.

But shouldn't it be 2x 1u win keys in the winkeyless kit?

what for?

To go in between the Ctrl and Alt keys on boards like the Phantom or the Cheat. It is pretty standard to include those keys with "winkeyless kits"

It is starting to look really good.
But shouldn't it be 2x 1u win keys in the winkeyless kit?

lovely.

but for a winkeyless you need: BASE+CURSOR+F1F12+ALPHA+BASEMOD125+MOD150 right?

BASEMOD125 has also 2 shift/caps/blahblahblah

I mean, just for 4 keys you have to get 20 more.

Edit: also if you want just a capslock/ctrl switch you get a hell lot of spare keys
It seems just wrong. Also ...

I agree with Kurrk.
I think this would be optimal.
Please excuse my paint skills, how do you guys make your mock ups?

Please dont make me have to buy these keys just to get the modifiers
Make me choose if I want 1.25u or 1.5u
Also, include 1u shift keys in some of the modder kits.

7bit wrote:Please sell the space bars separately!

There exist a lot of people who don't know what to do with such long keys.

Like this?

It would be nice if there could be a base kit and two different modifers kit, one with 1.25u bottom row and 6.25u space and one modifier kit with 1.5u bottom row an 7u space. As it is now if I would want this kit with plum modifiers on a win key less board I would have to buy the base, modder and ...

OK, I am waiting with tension.

will the controller chip be directly on the board or will it require a Teensy?
I really hope for a onboard controller.

I think it would. If you go for sphericals (SPH-style key caps) you even have the right sizes for Return and Shift.

If you can get an SPH kit from someone, I can give you the additional 2.5 units right Shift your would need with this layout.

ps: There is no 2 units Tab key.
OK, I could use a 2u ...

Are there plans for a key set for any of these designs?

Does the HyperMicro need any stabilizers (I'm guessing no, they look 1.25u max)?

What is the spec of the diodes (maybe this is common knowledge)?
Key caps will be shipped quite soon.

Next group buy will start when GMK got rid of their MOQ ...

What is that?

There were some fuss earlier in the thread about a symmetrical HyperMini. What do you think about this layout? keycaps could be tricky though, never seen an 2u row 3 or an 2.5u row 4

You need for ISOWIN:
2x STAB200
1x STAB625

Tab and Caps: No.
Baeck Space: Yes, if it is 2 units wide.

Keys smaller than 1.75 units including, don't require a stabiliser.

So then according to this figure:

I see 2xSTAB200 for Return ...

What does "SA-family" and "DCS only" stand for?

I am currently working on a Alu/Acryllic hybrid case, just need 7bit to give me the cad file for the pcb so I can get the measurements precise.

I've finally narrowed down the layout I want to go with, now I just need someone to make a mounting plate CAD file for me, 7bit? If it Ain't to much trouble.
Anyhow, this is what it looks like: http://i.imgur.com/XIOOX.jpg
