Ellipse, thanks for the quick response, as well as all of your years of hard work and dedication bring this to life.

I've been out of the loop, but a recent email woke me up to events. Is there still an intention to have a second/final round, or is this it? I've got my first order in from back in... 2016? but I was hoping to have that one in hand before committing to... additional models

I suddenly saw the refund notice and was confused, I haven't been checking in lately... I hope things get better, dedicate your time to your family - I'll be in again if/when you are able to pick this back up again.

That piece looks fantastic.

Poll created... vote please.

EDIT: I should also mention. For the custom keyboard box we have been talking about (the Premium option in the poll), we would OWN the die outright. So anything we do in the future would be about 1/3 the price to reuse the die and make more of these containers. It is ...

Wait... is he planning on making his own SSK cases?

Check out this post from a few pages back : viewtopic.php?f=7&t=13796&p=327410#p327410

So basically the final version of everything you see in the following make up a complete "kit with switches". Like the switches, all of these parts will be offered "ala-carte". Cables are not shown, but would be available as well. Lots of color and connection options along the way.

Alright guys, I found a tool that creates a plate for you here:

Whether it's accurate or not I don't know but basically you use this website: http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/ to design your KB, and then copy the raw data to http://builder.swillkb.com/ that then ...

Hello,

I've tried following this guide: https://deskthority.net/wiki/KiCAD_keyboard_PCB_design_guide but I found it too hard. There's a lot of steps the author expects us to know, and I'm getting errors that aren't addressed.

I've tried messing around with the tutorial files too but I can't ...

The assembly by itself would need to be bubble wrapped (etc) to fill the difference.

I'm not having the best day, this just makes so much sense that it just didn't connect in my current state of mind... Another thought is that some people might consider buying the boxes separately. I have all of ...

Just met with our box manufacturer, and he provided me with a protoype.

Wouldn't it "pivot" around without the front secured? Should the cardboard angle down there? The front and back are secured, but I just didn't show those inserts. As far as pivoting though, the tolerance is pretty tight on ...

did i win?

I think the idea is to establish an EU proxy to receive the larger sea freight shipment, then distribute within EU countries for lower overall shipping costs.

I had two critical mistakes on the board, reverse USB signal lines and misalignment of

pins :( completely disaster. Yesterday, palced order new pcb and stencil to easyeda.

I'm a little late to the party, but I've had a great time reading through the thread. I remember that mini QFN controller that bpiphiany made a few years ago, I found it inspiring - I was hoping a community created controller would take over for the Teensy 2.0 in the following years but now it's ...

I'm so excited, I really want to make one of these

My controller arrived a few minutes ago, and it's straight in the SSK and working like a champ! Phosphor's done a superb job with these. I ordered the deluxe version with Bluetooth and battery goodies, still to be installed. But USB works right out of the box. The easiest USB conversion I've ever ...

Well, finding a voltage regulator above 3.3V with a good dropout voltage is a bit difficult apparently.

So, with a 16MHz crystal and the firmware flashed at 5V, I can run it at 3.3V. Just can't reflash it at 3.3V.

8MHz crystal flashes at 3.3V, but firmware doesn't run. I'm confuzzled.

But ...

Exciting stuff . I take it D11-16 are the LEDs around the perimeter?

Not per-key lighting. The LEDs will be in the frame of the case and my hope is that the case will funnel the light to the barrel frame (under the key caps) and the case edge around the key caps. I will be using just a few bright LEDs so it is quite possible that the light will not be evenly ...

Looks fabulous phosphorglow!

Thank you, Matt3o, for putting this together. I muddled around with it before, but didn't quite understand what was going on, but you've explained it all very well, and I've got some good firmware now for my keypad.

#707 Arrived safely to the US, thanks 7bit!!

So if that happens, will we be able to (as individuals, not you or samwisekoi) "pick up the slack" and take some of those extra orders? Not that I really need more... :oops:

that shall not happen! :)

if it happens, we will find a solution (which probably involves me and other volunteers buying ...

Last day to review and modify your order!

Tomorrow we sill start invoicing!

Cancel your order now or forever hold your peace.

All incomplete or "weird" orders (you know who you are) will be removed!

Please understand that if you confirm your order now but you don't pay the invoice, all the ...

What if language kits were ordered to cover the people that need them. But the language kit users ANSI keys that they don't use go back into the pot. These could be added to the ANSI users sets as spare keys they could use.

nice idea. usually US people don't like those kind of things, anyway if I ...

fun fact, USA orders are a minority

Would be cool to see where the orders are coming from around the world... not specific addresses, and not tied to individual users, just list countries and count... in your free time, of course :mrgreen:

Of course, I might be the only one who finds that sort ...

Looks good, thanks matt3o!

I would be fine with this... adding $1-2 to Alpha, TKL and TKLPlum might work out well and spread the extra cost across the largest group.

matt3o wrote:I'd start the group buy right away. If we reach a decent tier we proceed with the order otherwise we cancel it.

Consider that it will be a different GB from the Retro set. regack offered to handle that as US proxy.

I can justify buying a set to help get to the 75 tier...
