As always, I am impressed by the quality of your work !

wcass sent me one of the badges that he ordered. I like it a lot.

The board is with IjonTichy already

Oh, does this apply to the SSK as well? I'm just assuming so. That's the only one I'm interested in. The FSSK is a reduced version of the FEXT. The files that I have posted are having many layers. Combining them it should be possible to create FSSK or FEXT gerber files. So the answer to your questi...

Aw, booger. Anyway, I wasn't planning to make use of those extra keys myself. But it's definitely a nice thing to have in the PCB, for future use. Oh, does this apply to the SSK as well? I'm just assuming so. That's the only one I'm interested in. Look at this, it may resolve the issue. FSSK v1.0 -...

Idollar, you'd brought up the idea of having the controller integrated into the PCB in the future. Is that something you plan to work on eventually? It seems prudent to see how the new capsense controller project comes along first, though. The per-key detection thresholds they are talking about mig...

-- The maximum number of keys per column is 8. An initial look at the FEXT v1.0b matrix leaves no space for the extra key in the left (red bubble) The broken-spacebar may be done (green bubble) FEXT v1.00B - Matrix table - analysis.jpg https://deskthority.net/resources/image/28908 There is no need t...

Will you also add the oppurtunity for split spacebar cutouts? IIRC it was discussed earlier. I am getting nervous with the proliferation of additional keypads in the lower row. It was already complex to add the XMIT keys. Reference to the FEXT v1.0b design here -> https://deskthority.net/post298412...

I checked the work done here and indeed that is a great job i$! Definitely going to be too difficult to do an unsaver without thoroughly thinking every trace here.. ;) ... it can be done. I would start with the matrix definition (the table attached in the compressed file), by doing a theoretic anal...

why cooler? they look the same to me..? but is only the 101 going to have the extra left and right winkeys? uhm... anyway my question would be if I update the gerber of the pcb to match the m122 and order just a couple of pcbs in china would then the xwhatsit controller still work/be able to handle...

http://i.imgur.com/mJkGB4E.png The more I look at this, the more I like it. Especially the font type for the subtext. It reminded of the old RS/6K badges (and basically anything with a model on the badge), so looked it up. image.jpeg I am personally minimalist in my approach to logos/badges. One of...

FYI - the first post has been updated with the source files of the FEXT v1.0b

Guys, As promised and after testing the FEXT I post ALL THE FILES that you need to modify/improve/order. Do not hesitate to ask any question. BTW: I plan to help with this project and any other similar, as far as it remains a real open project, with all sources available for improvements. This is wh...

Was this really your first bolt mod ? Congratulations, the quality of the work was excellent !

Here is the registration data for the FEXT 0001 - PCB is the #5 (randomly selected) The PCB prototype has not any bug, which means that there will not be anymore FSSK v1.00 produced. Instead and as the FSSK is just a reduced version of the FEXT, if there is interest, we will go for the FSSK v1.00b D...

I am also interested.
3, 6 ... whatever.

Personally, I really dislike the FSSK name. i$ and Lizard have done great work, but that name needs a rethink. My eyes see FFSK. The for fuck sake keyboard! It's an ugly, overlong alphabet soup. Sorry Muirium, the naming of my projects follows the same democratic process that the pictures in the he...

My skills are in drafting, so would suggest that someone volunteer to run any group buy. Or you could just order 3 from OshPark - but think that the edge quality would be better from another fab (sorry OshPark). I am impressed and very interested. I have the blue badge of the newer Ms, this will ma...

updated again, now everything (except the key "T" works), I used a greenock spacebar grounding cable and a shorter cable for the controller. A very nice job, indeed. I have checked again your pictures and realised that you have painted the back plate. Are you sure that the metal is grounded ? You m...

You know what ... I am thinking that it should be possible to make an FEXT with the controller built in. So there would be no need for soldering, just screw mod, replace the flippers, plug the USB and go.

We need to find how to get these flippers at a reasonable price !

That's brilliant news! I'm in the middle of building mine, but can't do any more today. I was confident that you would have no errors in the design, but with the capacitive sensing, you never know what happens. So it's good to know you built it with success. Thank you Halvar, It is very kind of you...

Wow, so much Model F and M love as of late, any chance of a full size version as well? @Spaceman and all other interested: I have a working FEXT (full size M working with F PCB/xwhatsit/PCB) prototype without any problem !!!

Yes, we are taking about this controller.

Well done lot_lizard !!!
Lets see how the community can contribute to this project.
You can count with me. This is the spirit !

@lot_lizard - You (we) should start thinking on creating a new thread ... Totally agree. I have felt like this belongs outside of the manual for a while now too, plus it has been making the manual messy with harebrained ideas vs focusing on installation. I'll make one later today (add a link here) ...
