If you send me some json from keyboard layout editor I can do some renders using kle-for-blender..

I am looking for springs which fit in the gap between 67 and 80. It appears that they are not easily available and I am asking whether you guys know how to get some There are springs from sprit available in 72g and 78g from https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?pg=1&l=product_list&c=339 @d...

Yes and yes, switches are complicated beasts and different stems will have different actuation points and thus the "actuation" figure is inherently inaccurate. The way that I think about these numbers is they just give an "arbitrary scale". I am looking for springs which fit in the gap between 67 an...

It seems to me that most of the (even custom) cherry mx spring weights are distributed quite uniformly between 35g and 67g (actuation). Then there is a gap to 80g and larger gaps down the road. Anybody has suggestions for weight between 67 and 80? These should be between clears and grays for the che...

Hi deskthority,

I am wondering if anyone has tried switch stickers or films on plate mounted switches. They are supposed to reduce wobble. Are they considerably effective?

Thanks

Does anybody know what do the BACKSPACEX and BACKSPACEY look like?

You have a left arrow on your j key. I guess the keycap has no deep dish and I wonder how does it work without that. I would be pretty lost without a homing key

That looks pretty sweet jacopods! Here's my CDC-713 inspired Plum Nano: cdc7_nano.jpg I had an old CDC-713 terminal when I was in high school, and it had a tan enclosure, which makes my decision to paint one of my Plums tan all the more satisfying! :ugeek: Beautiful. Out of curiosity how do you man...

Finally finished my first handwired build. Thanks to 7bit who allowed to make it real.

Reddit user u/kdem007 and I are pleased to announce an updated release of kle-for-Blender: a Blender import plugin for keyboard layouts designed on http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com. The tool is available on GitHub at https://github.com/Kirpal/Keyboard-Layout-Editor-for-Blender Thanks to the ama...

I don't use Blender, nor do I have any desire to install it on my computer. But I'm sure there must be a common geometry format that is compatible with both Houdini and Blender (e.g., .OBJ or something). Saving out the models in that format would be pretty straightforward, if someone familiar with ...

May I ask if you used some publicly available models for the SA profile or if you cooked them up from scratch? I modeled them myself from scratch. Note, however, that I only created a single 1u model for each row profile. To generate the other sizes, I've set things up so Houdini can resize the 1u ...

Ok I could not resist… Jokes aside, the above is DSA profile. zslane was it you that had made some renders for Round7? May I ask if you used some publicly available models for the SA profile or if you cooked them up from scratch? The only ones I could find online are not that good.

Whatever happened, I think that there would be no point for 7bit in not sending the orders at all. Perhaps he run out of money for shipping? Maybe. But I wouldn't see any reason for him what is already available for shipping. Just wait I understand that it is the lack of communication which is both...

Oh well, I checked on R7 but did not remember seeing them in round5/6
Thanks a lot!

Apparently SP has a mould for that (as it shows up for sale at pmk, although out of stock).

And, no I want it for backspace on R1, just shaving off .5 units from every row and make a (marginally) more compact 60% layout

Just a random question to this awesome community. Has there ever been a SA R1 U150 keycap produced in Round *?

Dear all, I finally received today the steel plate from our friends at lasergist, and unfortunately there was some damage which probably occurred in the mailstream. As you can see despite the potato quality of this picture, the plate is quite warped. IMG_20171129_152806.jpg Is there a way that I can...

Indeed it does look flat. It also looks quite low profile, which I don't know how would work with a handwired board...

Does anyone have suggestions for a flat case for a 60%? All that I can find have the 5-7 degrees angle which I find undesirable with the SA profile.
I thought of 3d printing some angled feet to compensate the angle, but I have doubts that it will look good.

Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks

Since I guess 7bit is buried under several dozens boxes of keycaps at the moment, perhaps I've better luck to ask in this thread. If the bot claims that my order has been PACKED it means that all keycaps were available from the leftover sets, and are now in an envelope waiting for being shipped by 7...

Hi all, I am sourcing parts for my first handwired keyboard and I need some help with the usb connection. I plan to use a teensy as a controller, and unless I want to connect my cable inside the case, I think I'll need some kind of USB extension cable that runs from the controller to the back of the...

Yes, but as far as I can tell pcb mount switches can also be mounted on a plate without the pcb, so I was just wondering…

Can pcb mounted cherry stabilizers be used without a pcb on a plate? (as with the switches?). For some reason plate mounted cherry stabilizers are uncommon, so I was wondering if the pcb mounted could serve both purposes.

Thanks

According to

https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=85933.0

They are pcb mount, but the part number for the plate mounted is provided in the above link

They exist! https://eu.mouser.com/Search/m_ProductDetail.aspx?CHERRY%2f0G990743%2f&qs=%2fha2pyFaduivdbwahYi%2fSqu%2fVBKdbp2CdeAo7RTbZMU%3d . Let me know if you would like to buy some as I would love a few myself! Mh, that is interesting, but I cannot understand if they are pcb mount or plate mount....

I wrote the wrong measure. The stabs distance in my caps is 2u,not 1u. They are 1u apart from the center stem.
