New plate added for WKL Alps layouts (SGI, Dell, etc)

Thanks for making this it was exactly what I needed for my build.

Any consideration for TKL PCB and Plates for the future?

My build in cartboard case

Your spacebar sounds better than mine, in my opinion. Any particular tweaking you did to it?

I opted to remove the spacebar's barrel on the PCB maybe I should try installing it again.

glad to hear you're enjoying the FR4 plate!! awesome build!!

I would highly recommend the plate to anyone interested, thank you for producing it!

Looks great! Now, make me one?

I'd love to hear a typing test.

I made a half-assed sound test. You get the idea

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...

looks freaking amazing keycaps are solid choice

thanks! The caps were what sparked the idea for this

When I get a chance I'll take one for you

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...

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 ...

Just looking for a case for a Leopold FC660M, metal or plastic, doesn't matter to me!

Unicomp keys. Disappointed by how much wiggle/play they have but they look nice :roll: :lol: If they are two piece caps, you might try using vintage stems with the tops and the wiggle issue likely will go away They are one piece caps Does Unicomp still sell cyrillic caps? Apparently so, I purchased...

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...

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.

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.

I've been looking for Alps PCBs/Plates greater than 60% as well and I can't seem to find anything off the shelf either. You may have better luck than me finding something. Perhaps mechmarket?

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 ...

Very nice case mod!
Did you cut it down then repaint it?

Yup! Some Ivory colored paint. Definitely a few things I would of done differently a second time but over all I'm satisfied. Ivory Paint and

looks like you made a right mess of that poor case

Ok time for bed grandpa

After lots of soldering, paper modding the SKCM Oranges and case modding - I'm calling it finished for now.

Looking for a keycap set for a 60% build I'm completing.

Let me know what you got!

Inspiring work! Well done.

thanks for the tips guys, Ill be on the lookout

As the title states..

Looking to make a 60% build for gaming. So if you have other applicable switches I'd also be interested

F77?

Thanks for the advice! I'll be on the lookout
