Without a PCB?

Do you mean you have your own PCB?

You want only a housing case and RGB LEDs?

teensy2 as main controller?

I think it’s not the question I should answer.

Please contact the maker of your own PCB.

Thanks.

Yes you can leave a message at the checkout page
or send me an email. BackSpace 1+1

[flashteker@gmail.comMember]

YES.

[flashteker@gmail.comMember]

You can see the combination
Layer 1 : matte frost
Layer 2 : white opaque

here : http://i1.wp.com/winkeyless.kr/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/DSC_1934.jpg

I don’t have this combination
Layer 1: matte frost
Layer 2: red translucent

Thanks.

HI

Seeing your PCB, I could tell that you should check all switch soldering.

My best advice is
– Whenever you are done soldering one part, then check it works.
If you test it after soldering all, you can’t find which soldering is bad.

Anyway, the switch soldering looks not good.
– enough lead
– careful not to make short.

Thanks.

Sure

Please send me an email with order number.

Thanks.

Hi

Yes that’s from my site.

The color of second layer is matte black.

Thanks.

The layer’s colors are

Color Layer 1 (2T): Matte Frost,
Color Layer 2 (3T): Matte Black,
[Diffuser]
Color Layer 5(5T,inner feet): Transparent
Color Layer 5-1(2T,outerfeet): Matte Frost

Hi

Here are my answers.

1. Does the plate support switch top removal?
–> NO
2. Answer this if Question 1 is No or Yes, could you solder in SIP sockets into the switches?
–> NO

3. Answer this if Question 1 is No, do you do custom requests for switches? Ex: Cherry red switch with clear gateron tops? Cherry clear switch with spring from cherry brown switch (essentially cherry brown switch with clear stem)?
–> Sorry NO.

4. What diffuser combo is this: http://i0.wp.com/winkeyless.kr/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/DSC_0692_face_diffuser_1.jpg
–> Sorry I can’t understand your question. Layout? layer color? Please ask me in detail.

5. Could you solder a special layout (Right shift is 1.75u + 1u)?
–> YES

Thanks.

It depends on which in-switch LED color you choose.
820 Ohm : generally used for white/pink LED
910 Ohm : generally used for blue/green LED
1300 Ohm : generally used for red/yellow/orange LED

Thanks.

Since version 160404, I had fixed some problem with FN layer.
So your mapping of FN2 and FN3 to C_m2 and C_m3 would work differently.

I think I had better to going back.
Please wait for the next patch.

Thanks.
Hojin.Yi

[flashteker@gmail.comMember]

I think you changed something.
(Could you tell me your order number?)

Try again. http://blog.winkeyless.kr/183

[flashteker@gmail.comMember]

Please check one by one.

I think your soldering skill is very good.

Just careful of direction(polarity).

Thanks.
Hojin.Yi

[flashteker@gmail.comMember]

Oh I missed last line.

Do you mean you fixed it?

[flashteker@gmail.comMember]

Hi

I think your soldering looks very good except Main controller.
(Very good compared to other user, I mean it.)

If your computer doesn’t recognize your keyboard,
probably your main controller was burnt out or some pads were detached.

If you send it to me, I could check it.
(But delivery fee is on your charge.)

Thanks.

1. What kind of stabilizer would I need? I have plate mounted cherry and costar stabilizers.

–> Cherry PCB mounted one.

2. Do I need PCB mounted or plate mounted switches?

–> Either is OK.

3. What resistor value do you recommend or is the most used?

–> It depends on which color of in-switch LED you want.

820 Ohm : generally used for white/pink LED
910 Ohm : generally used for blue/green LED
1300 Ohm : generally used for red/yellow/orange LED
4. Do you sell the relegendable keycaps in the picture or any keycaps for that matter?

–> We don’t off keycaps.

5. Can I skip the installation of the back feet in the case so the numpad lays flat on my desk?

–> YES.

[flashteker@gmail.comMember]

Hi

I didn’t do that.
Could you check you mapped “RGB mode” and “LED mode” in FN Layer like pic I attached?

Hi

If you soldered all other parts like diodes, resistors,
desolder all of them except Main controller and connecter.

And then please plug your keyboard and try to upload firmware.
If it’s OK, then solder parts one by one.

If it doesn’t work, please let me know.

Thanks.

Hi

One you installed RGB LEDs, just plug it to check if they are lighting.
You don’t need diodes nor resistors for the RGB LEDs.
(But you need Main controller and RGB Controller.)

could you show me your PCB?

[flashteker@gmail.comMember]

[flashteker@gmail.comMember]

Hi Sorry for confusing you.

1.75 + 1 is default.

But if you want whichever is OK.(combo, 1.75+1, 2.75).

Send leave a messaing in the check out page or send me an email.

Thanks.

Hi Thanks for your interests in my products.

The housing case you showed me is “BBB acrylic case with RGB Diffuser”(http://winkeyless.kr/product/bbb_acrylic-case-with-rgb-diffuser/)

The layer colors are
– 1st layer(2T) : matte fost
– 2nd layer(3T) : transparent
– feet(5T) : matte frost

PCB is B.pad X2(http://winkeyless.kr/product/b-pad-x2-pcb/)
You can select all optitions except “soldering switches” and “soldering in-switch LED”.
If you want me to do those jobs, you should tell me separately.

Thanks.

Hi

Sorry that layout is impossible.

You can see the layout we supports at http://i1.wp.com/winkeyless.kr/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/layout_face.jpg.

Also HHKB style is possible.

Thanks.

Hi.

Regardless of in-switch LED position, PCB color is white.

Yes indicator LED’s position is same as other keys.

Thanks.

Hi.

Now I’m looking for a good source and checking the quality and price.
Good quality requires too high cost.
Reasonable price is followed by high defect rate.

I expect to re-offer new aluminum plate in a month,
But I’cant guarantee.

Thanks.
Hojin.Yi

[flashteker@gmail.comMember]

Sorry No.

Thanks.

Hi

Sorry for late reply.

Here are my answers.

1. Are you going to start selling the aluminum plate separately. I ask because it looks like
i can only get the acrylic with diffuser. Would any TKL aluminum plate work with this or does it
have to be unique?
–> I have a plan to restock aluminum plates.But currently I’m not sure when I can.
Now I’m testing and examining the quality and reasonable price.

2. Other Q’s: Is it possible to use a Tex TKL Aluminum case for these PCB’s with LED’s on them and this controller pre-soldered by you guys, into another TKL case. Is this possible?
–> Officially no. But I heard that someone modified the case to fit B.face PCB.

3. If I want to get the in-switch LED soldered by you, must I order the switches with you too? I have Zealio’s at home I wanted to use as my switches but unsure how the LED install works. Should I just select to solder those myself with my own switch install?
–> Yes. in-switch LED is installed in a switch. Without the switch I can’t solder in-switch LED.
If you can solder, just order only in-switch LEDs without soldering option and resistors (and with soldering them.)

4. Are the stabilizers plate or pcb mounted? Looking at the 60% universal plate on massdrop for the b.mini but states pcb mount only, no plate mount.
–> PCB mounted one.

5. and last, I am very confused by your color 1 2 3 choice on the acrylic + diffuser kit. What is the one shown in all your photos, which 3 colors should I select for that?

this for the b.87 http://i1.wp.com/winkeyless.kr/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/B_87_0464.jpg
–> layer 1 : transparent
layer 2 : matte black
layer 5 : transparent
layer 5-1 : matte frost

and this for the b.face: http://i0.wp.com/winkeyless.kr/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/B_FACE_0441.jpg
–> layer 1 : matte frost
layer 2 : matte black
layer 5 : transparent
layer 5-1 : matte frost

Thanks.
Hojin.Yi

[flashteker@gmail.comMember]

I’ll send you the update by email^^

[flashteker@gmail.comMember]

Hi

If you want to return to Normal layer from FN2/3,
use toggle key or “ESC + Backspace” keys.

Thanks.
