Also stems are different on those skfl switches, they don't have that little plastic part in center that stops you from using some alps keycaps.

They are there for pcb mount switches.

you can also do them with negative dry film photoresist, you would need uv exposure box, pyralux, and film + devoleper for membranes and for F's just clad laminate instead of pyralux, i wanted to do that but i can't get my hands on pyralux....
You can also print on pyralux using solid in printer.

Not those, I think I got one of them with the last batch of switches I got from you. The ones in Ascaii's op are the ones I wanted to try.

yeah i'm talking about those, they ...

All of them should have linear clears

Well since i'm planing on making my own pcb's there's one less hole to be drilled and that's a big advantage if you ask me, then there's a shorter travel which is my preference also they are more stable then normal alps from what i read and i don't need a plate for them.

Someone grab it http://www.ebay.com/itm/Older-Toshiba-T ... 1c4ade62df

Well best idea i came up with is gluing alps plate mount stabs to pcb, the thing is i don't have a single switch to experiment with stabs, wire length and hole placement on pcb i'm not i a hurry to buy switches and end up not being able to use them plus i'm in EU so shipping is going to kill me i ...

Thank you guys, now just need to figure out stabs and source switches.

I know this is a long shot but i'm going to try anyway, i need these dimensions
I hope someone with loose switch can help me here.

From the look of that esc key those alps caps are pad printed.

I can't really do much with that i need kickad or eagle footprints...............

Code should be 2.75, i also looked up those membranes wcass and it should be fairly easy to make nkro membranes with pyralux but ill leave that in case we cant get capacitive pcbs to work with custom layouts, i wanted to know does trace thickness or how you rout them mater on capacitive pcbs if we ...

Also i forgot to ask but do you have model m membrane drawings?

Code key from wheelwriters can be nice for split space bars

If you ask me Id like to try fiting custom pcb in existing model m cases first.

Ok this maybe stupid question but why do we need to run traces around edges? can't we use lets say matrix from model m?
Also Wcass could you send me kicad footpints for switches id like to help with pcb designs.

Yes he had them made but from what i remember it's expensive for small runs

Greens are somewhere in between reds and blacks leaning towards reds, Daniel stuff on my greens is grey-white if that helps.

I don't know if it's just the sliders maybe they just stopped applying lube at some point since my greens have some dry lube on them and blacks don't.

i got them from poorly stored board, even after cleaning every switch they were still sticky and not as smooth as my other boards with green alps so i got springs and stems and threw away rest of the parts.

Mu if you want them i can send them to you for the price of shipping, had them laying around for quite some time now i wanted to use them for my alps custom but i just can't find nice keycaps for that project so i decided to go mx way with linear clears.

Linear clears from olymipia typewriters are just as smooth as green alps to me, you just need to find cheap switch donor and change springs to your liking, as for greens i got 100+ springs laying around if someone wants them ill give them for free.

I'm sure a lot of people would be happy with PIC18F4550, it's much easier to work with through hole components.

if you can cnc alu we could make some wonderful layered cases

one question, why don't you integrate teensy as onboard controller it's cheaper like that and takes a lot less space, you can get chips pre-programmed with halfkey bootloader for 8 dollars, and here's the schematic for it http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/schematic.html

Nice, now if you could try milling some pcb's to see how that goes it would be epic cause i found this http://www.watterott.com/en/Printed-Cir ... le-plating we could actually do double sided pcb's and use these rivets for plating.

Yeah i was asking about alps, and mateo i just wanted to know rough pricing since i'm not sure about my funds atm as you know or may not know :) my country has been hit by massive floods and my whole garage was under water resulting insane amount of damage to my tools and i now need to buy ...
