@lot_lizard - You (we) should start thinking on creating a new thread with this. In my experience, marketing of the project is key to success. Your work is hidden behind the manual. I do not have any problem to continue with this thread, but a good title will give you some more visibility. What do y...

Your keyboards have been registered

I still get spurious key presses with mine, even after removing the rubber mat from the inside of the board, and playing with the xwhatsit settings quite a lot. It seems worse when I'm using a neoprene rubber wrist rest which tells me that there is likely some electrical issue somewhere. I might co...

I am very impressed by this your work
I would appreciate more pictures ...

I will officially register your FSSK later today ...

I have executed, tested and own both screw and bolt mods. There is virtually no difference when using the keyboards (at least that I can notice). At restoration time, the different in effort is huge. This difference comes from the fact that with screws one does not need to flip the board to insert t...

Perhaps I can send my previous SSK for service

I do not keep records of all what I do

PM me, lets see what can we do with this SSK

Nice to read that my effort was useful. I guess it is one of these workshop-f7/m-repair-centre-3-x-ssk-t10 ... lit=repair

Yes, it will.

Do we have any news for the flippers / controllers GB ?
Cheers

I have seen some pictures of the flippers that Ellipse has created.
If we would know his source, we could organise it.
Ask him. I have already tried a number of times without a positive result.

I am more than IMPRESSED by the result !!
Please, test the PCB and let us know.

Great Job !

Hello, Following the success of the [GB] FSSK PCBs (1st round) I would like to know if there will be interest on having a second round. *) Backgorund information: I am not posting information about the origins of this project. They can be found here . I am not posting the user manual neither. It can...

Ready to go to whoever ask for them, once you or I have tested one.
You have the key, and you know that it is call bigfeet mini-GB

idollar wrote: ↑Now I will have to run against Halvar to create the first FEXT

For those interested, notice the extra keys (XMIT) in the bottom row.

And looking at the picture above, you know now that there are 6 of these prototype FEXTs
One is with Halvar and one with me ...

Now I will have to run against Halvar to create the first FEXT

For those interested, notice the extra keys (XMIT) in the bottom row.

Guys, there are not more spare PCBs for this GB. The last one was booked for Sayso some days ago. I am not sending the extra ones until all the people on the regular shipping gets theirs, just in case. HAL, Halvar, orihalcon, snoopy ... please tell us if you have received yours. Techno Trousers ... ...

Halvar,

Thanks a lot !!!
If there isn't interest from other people on the one that is left, I may even go for two. The shipping cost is too good

In the middle of the packing process and after the mess that I created with the notes, I decided to stop it.

Great that you have gotten the PCB !

I am typing my first impressions on the Matias Ergo Pro that I have received. First of all I had to read the manual on the web. The left spacebar was set to backspace. This is the first ergo keyboard that I have tried in a decent way. I did not realised until now that I could not type space with the...

Thanks for posting the FSSK v 1.00 User's Manual! This is greatly appreciated! Nice work. For now, a couple of things occurred to me: 1. It seems like there ought to be a way to get a rubber mat to work in the FSSK, but I have not tried this yet. My experience is that with the rubber mat between th...

No-one can get tired of these comments, ever.
Thanks

I will add your configuration file to the first post.
Thanks a lot

So I got her soldered up, and can confirm... IT'S ALIVE via an adhoc flipper test on a couple of keys. Does anyone care to share their layout file with me? It is fun to go through the process a few times, but at this point, would just prefer the canned .l file extension if you export yours. ...... ...

Looking at it again, I would prefer the ribbon cable pads to be on the top of the board. The cable will connect more naturally in the board.

As there is so much PCB surface available, I guess that it could be turned around and route the USB traces around.

Thanks lot_lizrard. This is very kind of you.
I will send him a new one. I keep a couple of spares for this purpose.

Extended as in non space saving. Like in the Apple Extended Keyboard. A regular Model M.

FSSK #2 made it across the pond to me last night! https://i.imgur.com/kbxh6CU.jpg But I guess my group buy luck finally ran out, because it didn't survive the journey. :cry: It looks like the package was bent very hard, right on a preexisting fold point in the packaging cardboard, and that snapped ...

I would go for one, at least !
Will you publish the source files ? I may want to take a look at them
