deskthority

that room is.....scary!
I wouldn't be surprised if the owner had his brain bitten too

Ok I suppose tapatalk tricked me, disregard!

I am confused, did my post got removed or is it just tapatalk messing around?

lol

So the topre battlecruiser is on its way to Muirium as we speak, I kept a topre switch from the sample bag to satisfy my urges when they come (I believe I put some cool stuff in the bag too) Thanks to all of you for this awesome tour, it's a great idea and it feels good to see that such project betw...

that's my LZ mini.
probably my favorite board with my LZ-GH
and yeah I am an LZ fanboy! (bar foot is where it's at)

PM me your address and I'll put it in the mail next week

Wait, look what ended up on my desk yesterday: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/63153503/realforce.jpg First time I try topre and I must admit these switches are rather awesome, the feel is completely addictive. Nothing like Cherry mx, it's incredibly smooth and the tactility is kind of unique. I...

good boy Demongolator!

^ true that!

you could use a chunk of wood and hammer nails in it to hold either. or yoga style: hold the cable with feet, solder iron in right hand, usb-thingy in left hand, soldering lint in mouth and DON'T MOVE! Haha, yoga style seems fun, hard but fun! :D probably healthy too, as long as you don't breathe :...

nice cables CeeSa,
I've also been there, sleeving is long and painful
and in the end I couldn't solder the connectors properly so I gave up!
do you have a technique to keep the connector and cable stable while soldering?

As for the route, a shortest tour algorithm should do the trick. I'm not impressed with what I've found for that online so far, but here's the ever-clunky Wolfram Alpha : MSP8141if463d635ef7521000053eggii58h4a6hf0.gif I just guessed some random cities in our various nations for the input. Obviously...

It looks like you did not solder all the pins to the Teensy correctly. There are not only the pins in lines near the edges, but also three pins that are inside lines edges. One of these connect to F4, 6,T, G and V, another connects to F2, 4, E, D and X. Escape, 1, Tab, left Shift and left Ctrl also...

you test the board without soldered switches? what does OV mean? I really don't understand what you doing and what are you talking about? I didn't solder any switch cause I don't have the plate yet, so I plugged the board and checked tension between switch pins, on faulty keys it shows zero Volt I ...

Dunno If I am doing it wrong but continuity test gives me nothing even on the working keys (I point each switch pin with the multimeter on continuity mode) I tried aquakey and here is the result https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/63153503/aquakey.png the right alt is now working (I forgot to solder...

hi folks, So I received my Phantom PCB with diodes, I soldered all the diodes and checked them with a multimeter -> all good, no diodes shorted and all of them are soldered correctly, - pin on the square pad. I soldered the teensy and uploaded the ANSI win firmware from bpphany -> seems all right Pr...

Thanks!

I'd love to jump on that boat,
and I have 17 posts, heehaaa!

Am I qualified?

24 keys 850$
that's a lot of profit for simple plastic molding

I don't think that would be possible. I mean once you have the source file for the custom pcb, it is possible to modifie the pin footprints to make them match an alp switch (same goes for the custom plate if it has to be plated) I reckon that's some good amount of work but it's not like starting fro...

I think pretty much any custom pcb can be moded to modify the switch pins location.

I am really interested in this project, I think if we want it to be popular enough to gather enough interest it all comes down to make cherry caps compatible with alps. MrInterface already came up with some promising adaptators that will work with a small drawback, slightly increased keycap height. ...

Well I skimmed through phetto's thread who intended to make a custom alps board. I think that's a great idea, that would be something new for a change. My understanding of the pb is that it won't gather enough interest unless it's compatible with cherry mx caps which already have a vast market. So t...

I'll try to contribute as soon as I get my matias switches, I still didn't have the chance to put my hands on an alps so I understand what you said but I'll have a better idea when I see it in person.
That would definitely open new horizons

I'm following this very closely, my only worry is the increased height
I didn't receive my matias switches yet so my question might be silly but would it be possible to design an alp slider/stem with a cherry top?

Sorry about the last minute drop out
blame USPS!
That sudden rise in shipping costs spread on pending orders changed the game :/

Cool thx

Is there still room for late joiners?

Very cool pics,
I also dig the idea of the changing header!
