I'm pretty sure it's just for the PCBs... BYOeverythingelse. To do cases would add 6-8 more months or more to the project... I'm sure there will be an aluminum case GB at some point.

Instead of finding true reds, just make Ghetto Reds with a couple spare blacks and the springs from spare Browns/Blues... with the caps on you'll never know the difference (TRUST ME, I've got both and they're identical)

Aaaand I now see you have them listed AS Ghetto Reds on your layout. My bad.

Also consider, a business exists to make money. They can quote you a PCB cut from a slightly over-sized piece of medium as though they're doing it that way and make a bit more profit by arranging them in the most economical manner possible when in actual production.

They are pricing it that way because what isn't included in the cut-out portion of the PCB is considered a loss for them. They can't use the waste trimmings for anything, so you get to pay for them.

Oh, man... that would be sick.

This feels so close I'd hate to add another 6 months if cases had to be included. I'd rather have kit without case and have a group buy for cases after. Or the layered plate option with the kit. I agree, just a full parts list and the pcb would get alot of people started :) I'm with you. Say, when ...

That it's not stable when you have your fingers resting on top. They don't feel well built and shift under my fingers when I'm typing. I'm using MX Blues to type this and the feel couldn't be much more dissimilar.

I work in a box plant and our design guys (we do a lot of custom displays and the like) have a 3d CAD program... if I can't find a use for it in my life, I'll bring it in and let them have it.

Well, crap.

God, this is me up one side and down the other.

Has anyone used any of the 3DConnexion products? I have a SpaceBall4000 on the way from ebay (nice and cheap) and wondered if any of my fellow DTers had used any of their stuff. The SpaceBall line looks pretty promising as a trackball...

I have a SIIG with clicky white simplified ALPS and I just don't type on it very much. The other day I was trying to figure out what it was I dislike so much about it and I think it's that the keys are just so wobbly. It really feels bad. Is this a construction quality issue or are all the simplifie...

I'll be doing a wooden layer-case for mine and I'm not doing a plate. If you take a look at the cad for the PCB, you'll see that the switches are intended to be PCB mounted (the medium-sized holes either side of the switch), so a plate is really not necessary. I'm getting pretty excited about this c...

This is my HHKB. Hardware dvorak. http://deskthority.net/workshop-f7/hardware-dvorak-hhkb-t3415.html That's the post that inspired mine! It think it would be handier to be able to use whatever keyboard of the month I'm digging instead of being chained to one specific, modded board. It would make re...

I'm wondering if it would be possible to program a teensy or similar to do this: http://keyghost.com/QIDO/ Surely it can be done for less than $90+$30 shipping from NZ. I wouldn't need it to be switchable, but just use the Dvorak Simplified... it would allow me to take any mech board around to the v...

Awesome! Thanks so much.

Of course, it won't really do us any good until we're able to get the PCB.

This is fun.

What would be handy is a set of files that are usable on a 3d-printer. I have access to one where all I would have to pay for is the material to run through it. I think my printer guy uses SketchUp a lot.

I'm on right now. Looks... garish, but workable.

Oh, wow... at $30 for the pair, I'd definitely in for enough plates to do two full keyboards.

Is it feasible to do this to a Poker? I love mine, and use it to travel, but I troubleshoot for people in the office and I look like I don't know wtf I'm doing when I have to hunt and peck on their QWERTY layout. It would be great to take my Poker in, plug it up and just get my shit done and get out...

Has there been any further estimation on the costs for this project? It seems REALLY promising and, if it's not too late (and depending on costs, of course, I'd be interested in getting in on the group-buy. Even if it's just for 4 of the PCB (I'm good with woodworking tools and I know how to solder)...

... if I have the cursor in the right-hand monitor (of 2), I can't go back to the left-hand monitor. If you run KDE or Gnome (or NVidia's driver) then there should be a Monitors setting where you can set the relative position of the monitors. Have you checked that they are aligned right next to eac...

I second that motion... my solution so far has just been to get blank sets.

So, odd behavior from my trackpad on my 11900... it works FINE, but for some reason, if I have the cursor in the right-hand monitor (of 2), I can't go back to the left-hand monitor. I can easily travel from left to right, but as soon as I hit the left side of my right monitor to go back, it gets stu...

Also, the 11900 have Win and Menu keys, but the 11800 do not. I think that's more what lysol was getting at. In the end, I decided to put that 11800 on my CLI-only Linux server and use my 11900 at work. I'm doing a sit and stand setup at work where I move my sitting keyboard under the desk to stand,...

Ooooo.... good suggestion! I happen to have an 11900, too. That has merit! Thanks.

Fair enough! I seem to remember someone having a great mod for this, but I don't suppose they'd be looking here to see it. I'll move it there.

Edit: Oh, you already did! Thanks mods.

So the trackball isn't working on my MX11800 (I may be able to fix it with a bit of solder, but I need to open it up and take a look)... I need ideas. I like having a mouse built in, and I still need the tenkey section, so I don't want to cut that end off. Has anyone had any success jamming a differ...

Yeah, I just saw that one after I posted. I've been on GH for a little over a year, but I'm new to DT. I like it here, by the way. Good work webwit.
