No, 7U, 6.25U and 2U. Standard sizes.

The caps are soled!

GH60 with Cherry MX blue in a Pure aluminum case. I have built the board but never used it, all parts are practically new.

I recently found out about the MechBoard64 project developed in 2018 by MtnBuffalo. It is very similar to the MeC64 but focuses on being used with the Commodore 64 and therefore doesn't have USB. It uses the MeC64 keycap adapters as far as I can tell and has a very similar mounting plate with bent ...

I want to try one of these when they are done. Looks promising!

I just uploaded all the files for the MeC64 project to GitHub

My keycap adapters fits loosely.

Orders sometimes fail as the small bridges connection the adapters in the set are to thin and ShapeWays count them breaking as a failed printing even though they are meant to be broken off. I don't think they are needed any longer to get the set printed at a ...

I made a cable with a connector that could replace the atmega breakout board and connect directly to the C64 motherboard, this was possible because I wired the keyboard matrix like the original keyboard. I think one of them that joined the micro GB used it to get same functionality as you are ...

I like it! What was donor board for the caps?

Coolest big board with a lot of extra buttons I have seen!

The components that looks like they are falling off was actually put there like that in the factory.

Rgb leds are three leds in one, the blue one is broken

Perfect design, looking forward to them. Now we need the same kit in WoB

I also missed the order number, I just sent tlt as the message

Looks really nice! It's a mix of cases and keycaps from a dolch, right?

What case is that? Hardwired or PCB?

I have hoped for this kind of GB to happen for a long time but the only way I can see it happening is if someone (with too much play money) just pick up most of the MOQ

I'm disappointed in Ivan, filed a complaint but I don't think anything will happen.

Got the rings in the mail today. I think I'm going to wait for your video before I install them. Thanks!

Mix the norwegian with a german you almost have a swedish

Congratulations on getting board! I miss working for an old company mostly for the old stuff you could find in the recycling bin there.

Nice color combinations on the blue and gray one, I like the yellow spacebar

Check the pull-up resistors, you should have 5V between ground and each of the column pins.

That guide has been used a lot so if you are following it your probably fine when it comes to firmware. Hook up the teensy to USB without the matrix connected and try to shot a row pin and a column pin manually with a wire and see if you get a char.

What firmware are you using? It could be a bug in it. I had a problem once with a broken pull-up resistor in a atmega32u4 that gave a very random behavior but I guess that is a pretty uncommon problem.

Ok, I'm in for 92

Is is possible to use the rings on the stabilizers on the Novatouch?

The Adafruit Bluefruit LE Micro - Bluetooth Low Energy + ATmega32u4 board might be good if you want to make a bluetooth keyboard. You can also add a LiPo backpack to it and than you got everything you need. Have not tested it myself but I have previously bought similar components for a project that ...

Replacing the chip should be your last resort. Desoldering SMD components without damaging the PCB is kind of hard if you don't have professional tools for it.

Try if it gets detected on other USB ports, another computer or maybe your other windows installation. Registration of USB devices in Windows has, at least in the past been a bit buggy. If you can't get the boot loader to work you need chip programming hardware to write it over with a working one ...
