So... my little brother very kindly gifted me a Model M some years ago; iirc he got his mitts on a model F and had no need of a second keyboard - I know! Awesome level of kindness though! However, keyboard was loose in his car and he had to take some evasive action on his way over and the keyboard g...

Make yourself a key and a lock - as complex or simple as you choose, have the key turn a cam, have the cam either directly or via a lever plug and unplug a USB plug from its socket...

Other options are electrical, and not my field.

Doh! Stupidly forgot to include "P" in the switches I wished to pre-order (greens, and whites) I've re-submitted with the correction. That's a cleaver little bot you've got there, though I've now missed the lower cost window :( I hate missing important details :lol: Guess what - I'm even stoopid-er ...

Ok, so I've played about with matrix.c and keymap.c quite a bit and along the way I've; destroyed it, and started from scratch, I've altered one part to suit my keyboard and it's broken a section, I'd amended the now faulty code and etcetera, I've made err, putting K_45 down twice and K_54 not at al...

So, I've got this old ALPS keyboard plate and PCB with cream tee mount switches. And I've traced from the 20 pins (one's ground and three are for an extra switch) over the PCB and with a bit of playing around with grids and tables I have my 8X8 matrix. @ a A b B c C d D e E f F g G h H i I j J k K l...

It's most likely that they're used to dealing in the thousands or tens of thousands of units per customer order - isn't it 1000 switches per type that 7-bit has to buy at a time (?) and that's not even directly from the manufacturer (?) what's Cherry's MOQ?!? 300/400 units worth is probably the lowe...

'cause if it doesn't go ahead then GMK may be a bit grumpy over the unused custom coloured ABS they bought specifically for this group buy. Then it's possible that they may never let us order anything else from them again.

Doubled up to four sets of CMYK, will double to two of the others later if it becomes necessary.

Come on guys; if this doesn't happen then the only GMK sets we'll see will be US ANSI from originative - which considering the sets he says he's planning to offer seems a poorly chosen name... :p

Well found, That's much better. Though why they can't just list "Automatic data-processing machines and units thereof; magnetic or optical readers, machines for transcribing data onto data media in coded form and machines for processing such data, not elsewhere specified or included" as computer and...

no they are not. i can look it up, when i have more time they belong somewhere in the category for parts of data processing machines ... Thanks for the pointer - I think I've found it now... 8469009100 Section XVI Machinery and mechanical appliances; electrical equipment; parts thereof, sound recor...

#0100 arrived this morning in all its clicky goodness. Many thanks.

No joy for #0100?

Just checking that I haven't done anything stupid, like ordering an additional 150 MXGREEN/NW on top of those I've already paid for...

Having sent

MXGREEN/NW 150
MXGREEN 75
MXWHITE 20
MXLOCK/NW 10
me@myemailaddress.komm

All seem correct?

Does that list include the soon to arrive MXGREEN/NW i.e. are they all gone before they arrive. Or will there be leftovers to order from when they arrive... someone stupid needs to order another 90 switches

$22/PCB
$80/pair (acrylic left & right side)
$5.90/pack of 10 (blue/red/black plate mount only)

Just remember that you need two PCBs, one for each hand.

Newbie question: How does the payment work? Do I get some kinda paypal link back after pm:ing, or what? Could I order now even though I won't have the money on paypal til tomorrow? You're sent an invoice by e-mail, then go to paypal's website, and send the payment along with the included text (user...

Wondering how difficult it is to widen the screw holes for sunk in screws. Also thanks for all the soldering info dirge. Not at all, countersink or countersinking bits (or burrs) are easily available in a wide variety of sizes - I work with silver not aluminium, but each hole can't take much more t...

Ahhh... I may be your Brit - have PM'ed unique transaction number and text so you can double check.

Just checking two things - if I want an additional eighty plate mount greens will there be enough to fulfil the order out of this coming batch? And having already paid for my pre-order, do I simply send MXGREEN 80, or will your bot think I want eighty in total rather than an additional eighty?

Having asked about PCB only, I received this response "The best way to do this is to have you check out normally and notify one of our live chat reps so they can put a note on the transaction saying to only collect payment for the PCB ($44 shipped to your door). Let me know what works best for you, ...
