I've updated my post with an additional photo of one of the switch

I recently got my hands on a keyboard from Russia, clicky keys, latin + cyrillic on the keycaps, the board says Alps SW/Rev-C. I don't have its case though, just the circuit board/switches/cable. I was wondering if it's worth anything or could interest someone in here, or if I should just throw it ...

As far as I'm concerned, I would have a use for it, but unfortunately missed round 1. I assume quite a few people loved how it looks after seeing pictures as Muirium said

Do you have a rough estimate for the teensy/diode availability?

You can just send garbage to the bot, and it will send you back an email with an invoice listing what you ordered (after some random amount of time).

Cool, thanks for the details, and happy new year to all while I'm at it

Now I need to get my hands on a soldering iron and get started (yes, I'm that from very far )

So I got a proto PCB as well, and am quite clueless as to what to put on it ;) Is there some kind of part list + what legend they have on the PCB? I guess I could take it from there. If it's "same parts, and some legend conventions as usual", I'll need to get more experienced first as I never got my ...

Any update on availability of the PCBs ? I've ordered one 2 months ago, and no news since then

Hey, just a few additional notes



1.- I shall fork the code to my local computer (done)

2.- I shall create a new branch in my local computer (done)
git branch phys_leds
git checkout phys_leds


This can be shortened as git checkout -b phys_leds


3.- I shall edit the code and test it ...

I only handle Google Wallet and PayPal transactions. 7bit handles the bank transfers, so he'll have to respond on those.

He's AFK at the moment, but I'm sure he'll update you once he gets back.

Oh, I am sorry about that. In that case I am sure all is fine. :)

I had the same question recently ...

Did you get my payment? My bank says the transfer was done on Oct 1st, so a bit worried not to appear in your list ;)

7bit will have to respond regarding Bank Transfers. I just handle Google Wallet and PayPal.


Ah ok, I did not realize you were not handling these transfers. Thanks for the ...

Also, the corners of the plate are a bit 'cut off' as the plate sides are folded beneath it as davcol explained

Ah right, I measured it but forgot to give the numbers I got 311x117 but I don't trust the 311 all that much (my good ruler is only 30 cm so I had to use a different one).

BTW: Further up would mean it touches the solderpads! Are you really sure?

Nope, not sure at all, I checked again, and where you placed it is correct.

Height was for the bottommost support, but thickness is the same for all.

I finally got around to do the measurements (all in mm)
a = 3.5
b = 3
c = 3.5
d = 10
e = 8.5
f = 5.5
g = 23
h = 33.5
k = 12.5

topmost support is about 1mm thick and 2.5mm high. I'd say the topmost support runs a little bit higher than your yellow line, but not by much.

I also own a noppoo choc mini, first version I think. I can also make some measurements if needed.

Background for my question is that I was looking for some DIY 60% cases (in a similar situation as the people from http://deskthority.net/want-to-buy-f56/ ... t8701.html

Maybe interesting data bit, I came across http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=51252.msg1471810#msg1471810 yesterday:
« I get a similar problem though, with my ergodox. During boot, it goes to a grub menu, and the ergodox arrow keys are useless. But if I warm boot, sometimes it will work. If I have a ...

I was wondering if some good resources on open hardware keyboards? The best that I could find was http://wiki.geekhack.org/index.php?title=Projects even though some links are dead or have no data file that I could find.
However, what I was not able to find is resources with keyboard cases? Is this ...

Is it still possible to order a FaceU PCB? Is there some progress on the MX-mini U PCBs or do they need more time?

Speaking of stabs, quite a newbie question but... which keys need stab? All the keys bigger than ....u?

Sorry for asking again, but does anyone know if the source code for this keyboard firmware is available and if it's possible to modify/rebuild it?

Hey, just read the whole discussion, and got a bit confused about the firmware. Is it fully free software, is it possible to modify/rebuild it? If it is hackable, I'd be interested in (if it's not too late :
- 1 FaceU replica
- 1 MXminiU replica
- 1 Acrylic case for MX-MINI U

PMK is rather weird, you can not update the order only make a new one and get the refund for shipping, stupid :(

Yup, thinking more about this, ideally PMK would tell me "You blocked $XX to buy N keycaps from this group buy, now the price went down and these keycaps will only cost you $YY, how ...

Hmm, how close to the end? I'll probably revise my orders if the caps price gets lower..

Hmm... looks like we're at the point where if everyone was to double their order for the Debian Red on White key, they'd still pay the same amount, but receive double the keycaps.


I was thinking about that too, and I'm considering ordering a few more debian caps, but it would be nice to be sure ...

Check the original post, there's an ISO enter key available in the Add-On pack, although none of the Add-On packs have yet met MOQ. The Dolch Add-On pack is the closest, with just under 70% of MOQ met.

Add-ons have an artificial MOQ of 100 through price tiers, see original post:

I'd be interested in buying one as well to someone close to France, the $9 shipping for techkeys is a bit too high

Ça y est, le facteur m'a amené mon kbt race Très bien emballé, merci Attarian! Plus qu'à jouer avec maintenant
