Looks good. Was glad to help!

Man, you rule!

CF is really the way to go being compared to plywood and acrylic. And it's still relatively cheap.

Looks good!

Why you decided to drop tron'ish column angling starting Mark 10?

ATmega328 device with 32K of Flash and 2K of RAM memory. USB-UART on board for easy communication and programming. Board is preprogrammed with an open source bootloader from AVRdude which is the same one used in Arduino. http://www.mikroe.com/mini/at/ http://www.mikroe.com/img/development-tools/avr/...

There's a more compact option, while twice as expensive with expensive delivery, check it out: http://www.mikroe.com/mini/stm32/ http://www.mikroe.com/img/development-tools/arm/stm32/mini-m4/preview/mini_m4_stm32_thumb01.png http://www.mikroe.com/img/development-tools/arm/stm32/mini-m4/mini_m4_stm32...

Any luck with Pro Micro anyone?

Guys with 100+ keys on their boards may just stop reading this right now. The idea of using tap/hold keys is here for a while already. Short introduction: tapping on a key results in a Tab keycode being sent, while holding is acting like Ctrl. This allows two logical keys on a single physical button...

Looks solid.
Welcome to split-non-staggered-ultra-compact keyboard lovers ghetto!
Keep us posted, would love to take a look at it fully assembled and with hands on.

SafeType is making kind of those.

Order #289 arrived today! Whoohaaa!
Thanks for the two extra ALPS white, really like it though find thm too heavy.

WHERE ARE MY SWITCHES, DID YOU SEND THEM YET
Order #0289. Paid 25th April.
No reply to PM from 7bit in 10 days.

Left to right:
Packard bell keycap on a MX blue.
Packard bell keycap.
WASD MX keycap.

I just got two old packard bell keyboards, 5130 and 5131C, PS/2, both rubber domes.
What's interesting, the keycaps fit very nice to a cherry switch.
Can post some photos.

This is a very cheap source of cherry keycaps.

Good job!

These two are pretty awesome and evolutional over original BlueCube. DSA's look way better on that type of keyboard. Have you dropped trackpoint completely or are going to add it somewhere on the case later? Or tmk's mouse pointer thing does its job well? Both variants look like you don't need tenti...

That's a problem. People buy ALPS/Matias and have the same problem. Pretty sure if we make a group buy we can order caps for it. I would go for spherical.

I've dropped a message to author of this, he replied and it turns out that he's a real keyboard enthusiast. Hope he will have a chance to share his knowledge and passion here. Seems the second site is down, possibly for some redesign or big update. Meanwhile i'll put the picture link from original p...

First, Great DIY skills! Thanks! After debounce code fix I've had no key stuck problem on GH60 so far. Me neither. On my first attempt to adopt tmk a month or so ago i have experienced this, but now this works fine. As for Right Alt or AltGr, I confirmed your FN8 action ACTION_MODS_TAP_KEY(MOD_RALT...

Full story.
TL;DR http://translate.google.com/translate?s ... st/177347/

Happy to share that tmk_keyboard worked like a charm. I had a stucking key issue, but it seems to be fixed in gh60 code that i took as a base. https://github.com/pirj/tmk_keyboard/tree/master/keyboard/hornet Still cannot get AltGr working on KC_RALT, acts like a regular Alt key. Is there a special c...

But I don't get how F* keys are activated. And how do you press for example Ctrl-F7. Are there 3 layers for top row (e.g. q w e/1 2 3/F1 F2 F3)? Still experimenting. For now i have two layers, one is qwerty+some special chars, another is numbers + special chars (orange key as modifier). Probably wi...

Thanks! Really pleasurable hearing this.

Done.
Still works on my homegrown firmware though so i need to spend an evening tweaking Hasu's tmk_keyboard to match my layout.

Looks extremely nice! I've made a case from bent 1.5mm laser cut acrylic plate, but i feel that plywood would be better, since it's less brittle. The bad thing here is that you would need to desolder the switches, mount them to the top case plate and then solder again. I went through this. Probably ...

One half of keyboard and 95% of work done.
