I love it!

matt3o · 15 May 2015, 18:39

I'm almost crying tears of joy

pyrelink · 15 May 2015, 18:40

It's beautiful!

scottc · 15 May 2015, 18:43

It looks INCREDIBLE! Matt3o, get that soldered up ASAP!

DanielT · 15 May 2015, 19:04

Oauuu, this is coool!

Something like I already posted in the Ducky Layout competition:

I kinda like it actually. not sure about the Function row, but one could always put them on the FN layer too.

it would be technically feasible to support both on the same plate, but it doesn't look good on a naked board, imho.

I really like this layout aswell

Do I see top mounted LED's?

ssssh don't tell anybody!

I see that Caps Lock must be centre-stemmed.
It looks also like the net was made by a spider on caffeine.

(not that it matters...)

What is the controller?

matt3o · 18 May 2015, 20:49

controller is mk20dx256vlh7. If you find someone who can do better with the tracks (for free

) I'm more than happy to update the PCB

Findecanor · 19 May 2015, 01:35

Ah. The same MPU as in the Teensy 3.1. That means that you would only be able to use HaaTa's Kiibohd firmware for now...

I have a barebone code that is compatible with teensy 3... in case you don't like haata's code.

I believe that tmk firmware is ported to mk20dx chips now (look for "infinity" directory). It seems to use mbed libraries - once I get my infinity I'll try harder to compile (so far I only tried for a couple of minutes).

M1K3L08 · 19 May 2015, 17:23

Would it be worth getting one of these: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=71034.0 ?
Or will there be plates available when the PCBs are on sale?

matt3o · 19 May 2015, 17:30

plates will be available together with keycaps, pcb, leds, stabilizers, case, and all

Do you know when we will be able to purchase these?

matt3o · 31 May 2015, 09:16

next week I should have everything ready. Hopefully in 2-3 weeks this should go live!

matt3o · 02 Jun 2015, 18:12

almost there!

chzel · 02 Jun 2015, 20:35

Nice!

flabbergast · 02 Jun 2015, 21:54

Cool! Aluminium? And what's with the right shift (not split?) - please forgive me if the layout is somewhere in the thread. I came late to the party and the thread is waay to long.

matt3o · 02 Jun 2015, 23:54

this is just one of the supported layouts. this is basically compatible with any standard keycap set (the last one in the picture).

pyrelink · 03 Jun 2015, 03:55

Will that also be the keyset included in this kit?

matt3o · 03 Jun 2015, 07:38

no, the keyset will be all white with blue accent.

pictured above is the supernova set, it's PBT/dyesub and should be available soon.

pyrelink · 03 Jun 2015, 07:43

Well, good thing I have been saving for a while...

flabbergast · 03 Jun 2015, 09:59

Argh, just after my funds are down after SA retro... Oh well.

Also - I don't know how do I feel about having a gap in the bottom row. I hope for a picture of a prototype just to see how does it look... please?

well the gap is optional but greatly enhance usability. I'll post more pictures as soon as I get all the material

The second from top looks the best imo

ramnes · 03 Jun 2015, 14:03

I prefere the fourth. And it looks compatible with WKL Cherry 1800 sets!

M1K3L08 · 03 Jun 2015, 20:46

Will there still be an ISO option? And roughly how much will the PCB+Plate+Case etc cost?
