7bit, any idea if/when those MXRED/NW are going to show up? Cherry seem to keep bumping your order on that one :( If it doesn't seem to be coming soon, is there any chance of switching my order #0271 to the pcb mount browns MXBROWN/NW instead? You seem to have plenty of them floating around still, ...

well, the kits on massdrop have 78 key switches, that should leave a couple of spares incase you knacker any by accident but you might wanna be conservative and add a couple more, especially if you're new to such DIY. if you're getting the case as part of the drop it has a plate for the keys, so you...

unless you're good with metalwork & have access to a good bunch of tools, you prolly don't want anything to do with the metal cases. they dropped em for round 2 because the quality control on em was so... shall we say "variable"? some people had to file down their pcbs to fit! and without some good ...

aye, most of my limited soldering experience has been guitar pickups and switches, which is mostly "wrap this bit of wire round that lug so it's got a good electrical connection and holds on pretty well. wap on some solder to keep it still" so surface mount diodes and teensys and whatnot are a whole...

Nice! Yes, you need to push the button on the teensy the first time, so make sure the layout you load has a key (preferably in some layer) that programs the teensy, so you can do it without the actual teensy button going forward. I drilled some holes in my top cover, just in case I need to push tha...

My Ergodox order arrived the other day :) Sadly a bunch of bits were missing :( Fortunately Massdrop are being fantastic with their customer support, even to the point of offering to cover any extra customs charges incurred. I'm of the opinion that you can only tell how good a company is by how they...

As a poor solderer, the best advice I can give is don't get a cheap, low wattage soldering iron. I've had a few of them, the sort where the iron is connected straight to the plug, and they had issues melting the solder when holding it against the tip for a few seconds. I then switched to one with a ...

When do we need to have our pre-orders in by? I only got my first mechanical keyboard (with browns) a couple of weeks back, then grabbed a WASD sample set, and I got on the massdrop buy for a complete ErgoDox with clears, and a second set of pcbs and electrics without switches so I'd like the time t...

I got my first kinesis last week, so I'm no veteran user of 'em, but I love that thumb cluster, after applying my own modifications of course ;) I swap the big keys, so backspace & delete in that example and space & enter on the other hand. This makes my home position more central and better poised ...

This sort of blue shift layout looks pretty nice, and I'll be trying something similar with my Ergodox, but I'm not sure if there is any way to get it running on my Kinesis. It has the embedded keypad layer which would be a good contender, but I don't think that there is any way to move the keypad b...

I suspect there must be people that never saw a keyboard forum that have bought this. Certainly lots of lay people saw it, and that's a win too. I was oblivious to this geeky world of keyboard hacking until I stumbled upon the ErgoDox project. :) All thanks to a comment on a serendipitously timed A...
