790 received with damage to the package, but everything was inside.

With SA Retro just going on sale, this might be a bad time...

I'm not associated with this in any way, I stumbled upon it this morning while looking for parts for a MAME cabinet. While not a keyboard, it seems as though there exists arcade style buttons that use Cherry MX switches. They're also set up to be able to change switches any time... called ...

I'll take a base with lime, and a side of true and pro modifiers, with a retro numpad for dessert.

I know that no one was implying that the AC and DC stuff would be combined (unless someone is shoe horning a RasPi or an Odroid C1 inside a case)... Just passing time waiting to get my taxes done.

Should be fine electrically. The only oddity I've seen with Model F keyboards is that the grounding screw (controller to back plate) is really important. Either your metal chassis will need a solid connection to ground (soldered or screwed), or be entirely electrically isolated. "Let Ground Abound ...

7Bit - I'm wondering if you ever got my payment issue sorted out? I haven't heard back from the 2x PM's I sent you...

For order 790, I've been credited for the 2nd payment I made, but not the first (which is probably my fault - don't think I included the right info in the subject of the payment). Is there anything I need to send to fix this? I realize the MXLocks are still a month or so out, just want to make sure ...

Success! Thank you, gentlemen. Time now to add a few more lights.

Nope, the electrician in me took it to ground. Let me fire up the Hakko and move it to the +5V pin and see what happens.

No, only the caps lock. And with two USB keyboards plugged in, the other keyboard lights up correctly. With only the Atomic plugged in, no lights, but the key behaves like it should.

Not sure if this the correct area... but, I've run into a small problem using this guide to build an Atomic semi grid from Jack Humbert's Ortholinear. Specifically, the caps lock LED doesn't light up. I've tested the wiring of the LED (red T1) by using the simple blink program, and it blinks happily ...
