$127.56 for six - setup costs are about $85 of that - each additional PCB is only $7.11. That's from pcbwing with a 10-day turnaround, solder resist both sides, no silk screen. Lead-free adds about 20 to 25%. Re-ordering exactly the same design after the first run halves the setup cost. It helps tha...

Are you planning to use a centered <Caps Lock> key for <Enter> and a <Space> bar from a G80-1800 with win keys? Yes, enter is that size... the blank sets from the GH R3 GB had both styles of caps lock, so that's why caps is offset and enter isn't ;). 2 full sets + an extra modifier set gets enough ...

Well it's all down to what code you put on it! There's a few Teensy based controller projects around, so you should be able to find some source code to start you off. I'm thinking hasu's hhkb code would be a good base (you'd need to add key debouncing code, but that's all I think). Pick a donor boar...

With a double width keycap over two switches in POS style, you just have to remove the spring from one of the switches. If your keycap has a corresponding stem, the switch will act as a stabilizer without adding to the activation force required for the other ("active") one. It moves up and down wit...

The shiny spot on my spacebar is below 'N' - so that counts out the three double width bars for me at least! I think it would start to feel cramped anyway. Also, the PCB layout wouldn't work for double width keys with stabilizers. It would work if each bar had two actual switches (POS style), but th...

[Project] A 58-key mini keyboard, with a missing column!
I've been on the verge of getting some PCBs made for this for far too long. I'm sure it won't be the final version, so I'll end up getting more made with minor changes whatever I do! The main idea is that there's one less column on the rhs, so enter is closer and shift is a symmetrical reach. Otherw...

Ok let assume to use a linear switch where a better precision can be reached, who force you to use 5g coins? I never did it. I tested some keys, upon ripster request, with a combination of big coins to reach slightly less the weight needed, and then I added some 1 cent or 2 cent coins, that are rou...

What we want is accuracy, and it's a given that we require precision for that, so I defend my using that term :-) Whats the point to have, say, 1g of accuracy when te precision is more than 10%, because the switch itself is imprecise ant the placement of the coins is subject to the human factor whi...

Perhaps a little lighter, but not much in it. I prefer the feel of it as well, but it's difficult to describe just how the feel is different - it's certainly not just a lighter/firmer type of thing. Examining the switch's insides, the F's springs have a slightly smaller diameter, and its pivot plate...

What webwit is saying is that the accuracy of the method is measured in terms of numbers of coins (the accuracy of each coin's weight is insignificant by comparison). Ignoring any other factors, the best it could ever manage is to say the force is between N-1 and N coins. So if a switch triggers wit...
