Re: Just Finished! Alps SKCM Brown Winkeyless TKL on a Budget!
Mmm I bet it sounds as good as it looks. Great job! It does sound great, as I hoped. I believe the plastic case helps. The high dollar metal cases seems to ruin Alps sound potential. how much did you spend on all of these parts? XD87 Case + PCB + Plate = $71 https://kprepublic.com/products/xd87-xd8...

Just Finished! Alps SKCM Brown Winkeyless TKL on a Budget!
So the quest for Alps Winkeyless TKL parts had proved too costly or too obscure than originally anticipated so I got creative with the parts I could find. My plan to create a Winkeyless TKL with Brown Alps (for at least the Alphas and Modifiers) with SGI Granite keycaps began.. Parts used were: SKCM...

Help with WKL TKL Alps Build
Seems the options to purchase Winkeyless TKL parts for a Alps setup is very slim and hard to come by. Would anyone have the 3D files to create a Winkeyless TKL Case? I've seen it's possible to get these made out of acrylic. For example: https://stratakb.com/ Also, I'm unsure how to generate the raw ...

Re: GK64 pcb problem
Have you tried reflashing the PCB? No, i haven't. If I had to guess, they look to be surface mount Schottky Diodes. The components labeled D##. I can't seem to make out any distinguishing numbers on those diodes though. Two elements what i replaced was marked with S1 code and was packaged in SOT-23...

Re: GK64 pcb problem
Do you have a multimeter? I would check the diodes for that column with a Diode test.
Check for any lifted traces. If a trace looks damage you can use jumper wire to remedy it.
Does the problem happen only when the PCB is in the case by chance? If so it may be shorting to the housing.

Re: GK64 pcb problem
Be sure the switches are fully seated into the sockets. Insert the switch and look from underneath to be sure the switch leads are inserting correctly.

Re: ReSKCM - Optical rework, and cloning of Alps SKCM/SKCL switches
I've had 5 Alps based boards over the years (2 SKCM blues, 1 white, 1 orange, 1 salmon), they were so disappointing it'd be such a waste of time, money and resources to try get them remade. Disappointing as in you had your hopes up and/or they were all poor quality? I'm satisfied with the key feel ...
