Firstly, can I just say that I love how much of this you plan to 3d print. I worked on a project a couple of years back where I printed a case out of multiple sections in PLA. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/62766551/Norseboard/P4060257.jpg I'm not sure if PETG has similar properties but PLA has...

It seems so strange seeing a phone style keypad on a keyboard.

What is that?

Looks like a IKEA Qi Charger.

Yeah, that's exactly what it is.

I got my first 60% (and first daily use mechanical keyboard) in the form of a Pok3r this week. Naturally, I had to redo my whole work desk by making risers for the monitors and laptop. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/62766551/20160624_135752.jpg I honestly thought I'd struggle without arrow keys...

It's been some time but ProjectTOON is more-or-less functionally complete now. I decided to keep it rather simple by leaving out the Raspberry Pi, so the overall functionality is of a keyboard and MIDI controller requiring only a USB cable for keyboard/USB MIDI and a 5 pin MIDI cable for MIDI output...

My ribbon cable jumpers arrived, so I spent the past couple of days wiring it up in a neat way and even had time to knock together a little switch to analog adapter for mode selection. (Turns out it's hard to type on camera with a wobbly keyboard missing the spacebar) W1N-W_UMZ7A I'm extremely happy...

65% would be my preference but 60 would also be nice.

I would also be extremely interested. My only experience with mechanical switches has been Cherrys so far but everyone here seems to swear by Alps.

Nice project, I'm curious to see how you will implement MIDI (there must be libraries and examples on pjrc's website). Have you considered a chromatic layout, or scale modes as implemented on Push or the Launchpad? Those would be harder to code, but having someting as flexible as those controllers ...

Thanks. This staggered layout is just something I came up with. The typical layout of a piano is that the black keys (sharps/flats) are set between and slight back from the white keys. This is something I could have mimicked by keeping the black (or grey) keys on their own rows, but it means for eve...

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/62766551/ProjectTOON/ProjectTOON.png So a few years back I had my first encounter with DIY keyboards and hardware programming/design. It came about by salvaging they key matrix from an old Toshiba Rupo (jw95jp), with a grand vision of getting it working again and...
