Re: kb45p - 45% prototype board (ALPS supported)
I personally find the JD45 price fair (although a bit more than I am willing to put into one keyboard right now :roll:) Considering that CNC alu cases go for (sometimes quite a bit) upwards of $100, and PCBs for >$40... Considering the quality of materials and the work that went into the JD45, I do...

Re: kb45p - 45% prototype board (ALPS supported)
That's with Bluetooth though, right? Am I the only one that finds GON's stuff excessively expensive? I mean, $300 ish for a 40% kit is kind of crazy, especially when the case isn't even made of metal. There's only so many components in such a small keyboard! Oh yeah, USB only option is only $235. :...

All right, so although only 4 people seem to be interested, I've ordered the parts for the PCBs. So I should have some PCB (soldered or kits) available next week. I'll order the plates next, and report any progress. The timing apparently sucks now with the JD45 buy going on - it has a very nice cas...

Great work! This looks great. The main failing for me of the JD40 (and almost all 40s) is the inability to use Colemak. I'm hoping I can scrounge up the cash in time. If I wanted it assembled, but not with those switches, can I send you some switches to use instead? Actually, all assembly is being ...

Actually, I have already discussed with Justin at TEX that we should add a trackpoint to a future version of the JD45.
And, one person already got his JD45 prototype working with BT. https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=62 ... msg1921653

I suppose there's no chance of selling only the PCB or PCB + plate? Unfortunately, I am unable to sell kit components, such as the case, plate, or PCB, separately. These are packaged as keyboards and kits by the manufacturer, and I will be shipping them all personally from my home, without repackag...

The plate does care, however. MX and Alps switches need different cutouts. I'd suggest making the Alps plate a hybrid, simply because of the Mission Impossible nature of sourcing all those specific mods! Ah, well the MX universal layout plate actually supports Alps switches, due to the design of th...

Nicely done! Good luck with this JD. The case really makes it. The final piece so many custom boards try their best to forget! Alps support: what about hybrid layouts with Alps alphas and MX mods? Alps caps are hard to source. Alphas are doable though. Thank you, Muirium! You can definitely make a ...

Re: [IC] Universal TKL phantom plate.(modeled by Joey Quinn) JD40 style.
Be aware that with universal layout plates like that, you have to use a PCB with support for PCB-mount stabilizers. Because there is no place on the plate for a plate mounted (Cherry or Costar) stabilizer to mount to. It's just a large hole, which allows the PCB-mount stabilizer to pass through.

Re: Phantom plate size
Units are probably in inches on the drawing files. Try scaling everything by a factor of 25.4.

To be fair, this GB was open for about six weeks, and I even allowed orders up until the last day payments were due. So e...
