I used the Postage Board Mini, which is a controller I designed for hand-wired keyboards. (shameless plug: I'm running a GB for it right now , only 1 day left).

I've been trying to make thinner hand-wired keyboards for a while, and this is the thinnest I've done yet. Next time, I might try making a ...

1.5 days left! Orders will be closing at 10pm CST on Aug 3.

Update: Mechboards.co.uk has joined the Group Buy as the EU vendor. This should give EU buyers a better shipping rate.

Hi everyone, the Postage Board Mini group buy has launched.

All worldwide orders (except Europe) are currently being taken on my new online store, CuriousKeyboards.com

All EU orders are being taken on Mechboards.co.uk

The previous round GB for the Postage Board was a huge success, and I have ...

Sent you a PM.

Yes, he should be selling them pretty soon. I will also be doing another GB soon too.

Everyone who opted for tracking should have their tracking numbers now. Please reach out to me for any questions or issues.

The boards are in my possession, and I have completed the testing phase. They work splendidly, and I am working on shipping them out now.

I ran into some delays with the shipping-out phase, my choice of packaging turned out to be incompatible with my shipper's labels. I have it sorted out, and they ...

The boards have been shipped from China and they are on their way to me. The next step will be for me to test a random sample of them, and then ship them out to everyone.

The order is submitted with the manufacturer, and I am awaiting a proper delivery estimate.

Thanks to everyone who placed orders, I'll be posting updates here as events progress

I have managed to get cheaper shipping to UK and EU courtesy of David @ Mechboards.co.uk

$6 to UK, and $11 to EU. Both are non-tracked. If you prefer tracking, fill out the order form and I'll send you a quote.

Ok, the shipping prices have been adjusted. I managed to get Small business shipping rates

I would definitely like to buy one, but quite frankly the shipping estimates are insane. is there any way to bring down the US shipping? Different carrier? slower service?

I made the assumption that everyone would want tracking service included at the very minimum. Perhaps that wasn't a good idea ...

Hello everyone, the GB is finally here for the Postage Board. I have been testing a batch of prototypes for the past while, and I'm happy to say they have functioned flawlessly. Check out this video I made of the testing results https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoUxoD30dqM

Here is a render of the ...

Greetings everyone. I don't post much on DT, I mostly hang out on r/MK, and in the Mech Keys discord. I figured I would post this here too, because I think DT is a more tech-savvy community, and might find most appeal here.

I am nearing the stage of starting a Group Buy for the Postage Board. I've ...

Only point on the home soldering is the usbc, that would real pain point for most, easiest ones are those 1/2 through hole 1/2 smd, but they are still not great. maybe open version has mini/micro? tricky choice.

Yes, I was thinking along the same lines, making a Micro USB variant for people to ...

I like the audio jack for external i2c. have you built one up yet(v1 that is)?

No I never assembled any of the V1 boards. I was going to order all the components and solder it up, but I very quickly started working on the V2 model, which doesn't share any components at all, so it didn't make ...

On Reddit, I recently posted pictures of my prototype batch of my Switch-mounted handwire controllers. https://old.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/8ew23e/photos_just_got_my_prototypes_of_my_switchmounted/

I got a bunch of good feedback from everyone, and ...

This is more or less what I wanted to do.

basically an HHKB with split spacebar. Unfortunately I don't have all the key size to make it perfect, but I can settle with that for a prototype.

Looks very cool. I'm interested in designing a PCB for these Kailh ML switches, a 40% layout.

How easy is ...
