[IC] HyperMicro and HyperMini Keyboard

DerpyDash_xAD · 21 Jun 2014, 04:36

I thought Matias ALPS were Cherry compatible - but what I read suggests that it won't be compatible?

scottc · 21 Jun 2014, 10:19

Nope, they're not. They use the ALPS mount (also previously called Z-mount in places).

Muirium · 21 Jun 2014, 12:54

The keyboard's PCB can be designed with cunning to accept both Alps and MX switches. But that's the end of the trick. Those switch families are fundamentally incompatible when it comes to caps. Or indeed 99.999% of PCBs out there, either.

Matias / Alps switches are nice, but carry a lot of baggage thanks to this.

Ok, thank you.

I'm very interested in this, I would probably be boring and go for a poker 2 layout, but having soldered it together myself makes it _so_ much better, right?

Yes, this is possible to happen. I'm currently working on the designs.

Looks reasonably nice. Needs some legends on it for us to spot the gotchas, mind!

Looking forward to it! They look good, and let's hope they work good too.

suka · 01 Dec 2014, 15:09

Great! Anxious to get going...

snoopy · 01 Dec 2014, 15:48

will there be a case/plate? maybe a simple one like the jd40?

7bit · 01 Dec 2014, 15:54

Later. First we have to see if it works at all.

pyrelink · 01 Dec 2014, 20:38

Can't wait! I think I will hold out for the final/revised version, and/or when we have a case in the mix, to order. Made sure to include a bunch of HyperMicro options in my Round 5 order!

mahaione · 14 Mar 2015, 12:55

Any plans on the HyperMini at all?

Stabilized · 14 Mar 2015, 17:38

Good point, would definitely be in for one if/when they are available

I suspect the focus will now been on Matt3o's build first, but afterwards will it be the HyperMini's turn?

7bit · 14 Mar 2015, 18:23

I'm currently working on all designs. I plan to have them finished before the Round 5 key caps arrive.

I will order the prototypes along the HyperMicro 2nd prototype series (which might become the main series).

dvjz.dh · 16 Apr 2015, 16:21

Hi , i've received an envelope with only switches inside but without pcb, teensy and plate.
So is supposed that they'll arrived with another pack ?

Order is 0844

Nahassa · 23 Jul 2015, 11:12

is there still time to get in on this or is everything gone by now?

scottc · 23 Jul 2015, 11:50

Stuff still hasn't been sent yet. I don't think it's even been submitted to be produced yet...

Wodan · 06 Apr 2016, 12:10

Can I spend money here ?

What do I PM where to get an invoice ?

jchtt · 22 May 2016, 06:24

Has this ever been produced? I’d be very curious about a pcb that supports a lot of thumb keys.

7bit · 22 May 2016, 10:09

The PCBs exist, the plates, I must try if the DXF-files will now work out.

If you want some, just pm user CherryMX the usual way:
HYPER/MICRO/P1
^^ Micro prototype version 1 (Cherry MX)
HYPER/QHACK/PA
^^ QHack prototype (Alps)
HYPER/QHACK/PC
^^ QHack prototype (Cherry MX)
HYPER/MACRO/P
^^ Hyper Macro prototype (Cherry MX)

Wodan · 22 May 2016, 10:17

Are there any keyboard layout editor links that will work with these pcb?
You can just create the CAD designs from KLE configurations.

Stabilized · 22 May 2016, 10:43

Any updates for the hypermini?

InfiniteMan · 21 Jan 2017, 15:21

Hi,
I have been looking for a PCB which allows shorter space bar, and it seems that HyperMini is the only one I can find so far.

So I am very interested if this PCB has been manufactured and works well?
Is it available to order?
Hope to get good news, thanks.
