Parts list for mini keyboard / how to start

[indeParticipant]

Hi,
I’m interested in building a mini keyboard but I am not quite sure I understand what parts I need to order and how I put things together. Can you point me to a guide maybe?

So far I gather that I will need:

• Switches + Stabilizers (that you sell)
• PCB (sold by you; comes with resistors, diodes and controller, right?)
• Key caps (that you don’t sell according to reply here: http://winkeyless.kr/forums/topic/will-all-of-this-work-together/)
• case (for instance the acrylic one you offer)

Am I forgetting anything obvious?

Kind regards,
inde

edit for clarification: I am not interested in LEDs for now.

Hi

Yes the itmes you selected are almost perfect.
But one necessary thing missed.
– USB cable (We don’t offer)

And custom spring, lubing and sticker are optional.
Thanks.

I also missed one thing.

If you don’t want in-switch LED,
you don’t need resistors.

Thanks.

Hi,
thanks for the quick reply.

So I’d get the b-face PCB w/ controller parts. http://winkeyless.kr/product/b-face-pcb/ Switches and stabilizers are on the same order page.
Diodes and resistors are only required for LEDs, correct?
USB cable is standard and should be easy to source locally, isn’t it?

I add the case from you and then I start looking for key caps.

One last thing: Where do I specify ANSI vs ISO layout?

Cheers,
inde

Hi

1. Diodes are required for switches.
Resistors are useless when you don’t use in-switch LED.

2. I’m sure it’s easy to get a USB cable around you.

3. You can set Enter type(ISO/ANSI) in the case item page.

Thanks.
