Hi

Sorry for your inconvenience.

Keymap file for B.87R EX X2 is “keymap_gb_B87(EX).hex”.

For more details, see http://blog.winkeyless.kr/183.

Thanks.

Noramlly for a full keyboard, it takes roughly 2 weeks.

But from tommrrow to next Wednesday it is Korean Thanks-Giving day, one of the biggest holiday.
So all companies are off and I can place an order of your housing case next week.

So in your order, it takes around 3 weeks for you to get it.

Thanks.

In addition, when you select options for a PCB, you have to add “soldering controller parts + switch + soldering switch + diodes + soldering diodes”
(Other options are for personal preferences, not essential.)

Thanks.

Hi

If you order fully assembled keyboard, you don’t have to assemble it(so you don’t need that assembling guide.)

To place an order of fully assembled keyboard, you have to order at least PCB(soldering controller parts + switch + soldering switch + diodes + soldering diodes) and housing case(“BBB acrylic case” or “Acrylic case with RGB Diffuser”).

Thanks
Hojin.Yi

The housing case is “Acrylic case with RGB Diffuser” (http://winkeyless.kr/product/bbb_acrylic-case-with-rgb-diffuser/)

The colors of that keyboard are
– Matte Black(or Black opaque)
– Matte frost
– Matte frost

Thanks.

Hi

The spacebar length of winkey layout is 6.25U, while winkeyless 7U.

The spacebar in the pic is using 7U long, so it’s winkeylss.
If you want the same keyboard as the pic, it’s B.face(X2) and spacerow layout is “blank- 1 -1.5- 7 1.5 -1- blank”. You can find this layout option at the item “BBB acrylic case” or “Acrylic case with RGB Diffuser”.

The color combination is personal preferences, and the look is depending on your imagination and aesthetic skill.

Anyway the colors in the pic are “matte frost – white – matte frost”

And I heard that some one was using our PCB with TEX case.

Please check the layout.

Thanks.
Hojin.Yi

Hi

Here is a link to a manufacturer’s page http://hanaacryl.com/product/?s_category=85.
You can see all colors available for the housing case.

If you want to see the differences among “frost”, “matte” and transparency,
visit http://winkeyless.kr/case-color/

Thanks.

Here is CONCLUSION!!
NO It’s impossible.

I used a sharp tool like a chisel to open switch’s top.
It made scratches on the switch and case.
Sometimes broke the connectiong point and made it loose.
(You have to make small cutout to the case with chisel.)

Sorry for my pool english to depict the situation.

Anyway… Please don’t do that without desoldering.

Thanks.

Officially no.

If you are using a tool, it would be possible.
But in my experience, I strongly don’t recommend to do that.
Becasue it could make your keyboard messy.

Thanks.
Hojin.Yi

[flashteker@gmail.comMember]

Sorry for my mistake.

I was so busy with handling requests from client that I didn’t answer it in detail.

4) Do the upper two layers function as plates?
–> Yes
Do they allow for switch top removal/modding without desoldering?
–> Officially no. But with very carefulness, you could.
But we don’t recommned it without desoldering. It could make your keyboard messy.

Thanks.
Hojin.Yi

[flashteker@gmail.comMember]

Hi

Thanks for visiting our shops.

Yes T2(1st) and T3(2nd) act as a plate.

But I don’t think they are fitting the body of Tex case.
(Screw hole’s places are different.)

Thanks.
Hojin.Yi

Hi thanks for your interests in our products.

All the switches must be soldered for our PCBs.

But we, Winkeyless, offer soldering service if you order switches also.

Thanks.
Hojin.Yi

[flashteker@gmail.comMember]

Hi

Sorry for late reply.
Your order are not shipped yet.

Your order date is Aug.22, and it takes 2 -3 weeks to prepare.

Please be more patient.

Thanks.
Hojin.Yi

[flashteker@gmail.comMember]

Hi
Here are my answers.

1. Is it possible to get costar stabilizers instead of cherry?
–> Sorry No.

2. Is it possible for winkeyless to get the new RGB cherry switches?
–> Oh Sorry. I don’t offer the RGB cherry switches.

3. What is the difference between white translucent and matte frost under Acrylic Diffuser?
–> If you visit here (http://winkeyless.kr/case-color/), you can see the differences.

Thanks.
Hojin.Yi

[flashteker@gmail.comMember]

Hi

The order status “completed” in our shop means “Checking Done” which has no problem.
So please don’t misunderstanding.

When I ship an order, I always send an email with tracking number.

On your order… could you tell me your order number or invoice number?
(Please send me email.)

[flashteker@gmail.comMember]

Sorry.

Some day I’ll considering to add that function.
But now I’m a little busy.

Please understand me.

Thanks.
Hojin.Yi

[flashteker@gmail.comMember]

Hi

Sorry for late reply and your inconvenience.

I think your problem is due to soldering mistake or some short.

Probably the later is more reasoning.

Please remove your RGB bar, and test it.
If it’s working, then just move RGB bar and attach it.

If not working, please send me the pics of PCB to check the soldering.

Thanks.
Hojin.Yi

[flashteker@gmail.comMember]

Thanks Gracz.

Yes he is right.

You have to choose “blank/1x/1.5x/7x/1.5x/1x/blank” for the space row not “Winkeyless”.

Other optios are OK.

Thanks.

안녕하세요.
한국어 사이트는 한국내에 있는 사용자들을 대상으로 하는 사이트이고,
영어로 된 사이트(엉터리 영어이지만)는 외국에 살고 있는 외국인들 대상입니다.

차이점이 있다면

1. Housing Case
– 한국어 사이트에서는 제공하지 않습니다. 단지 레이아웃 파일을 제공하고 사용자가 직접 하나아크릴이라는 회사에다가 문의해서 당사자간 거래가 이루어지도록 유도합니다.
– 영어 사이트의 경우, 주문을 받습니다. 하지만 직접 거래하는 것보다 20%정도 가격이 높습니다. 이유는 품질 체크 및 배송 서비스를 겸하는 것뿐만 아니라, 발송 이후 하자가 발생했을때 이유를 불문하고 새로이 보내야 하는 위험성 대비 때문입니다.
(공장 물품들은 대부분 이런 위험성 때문에 영어 사이트가 10-20% 높습니다.)

2. PCB
– 물품과는 달리 Soldering은 가격 차이가 없습니다.(환율 1000원적용)
– Lubing, Stickering 서비스의 경우엔 한국이 비용이 높습니다. 한국내 공임표는 다음과 같습니다.(단위원)

(87ex, miniEx) (87, mini) (face, thumb) (pad)
윤활 64000 53000 39000 15000
윤활 + 스티커 92000 76000 56000 21000

– Soldering이란 표현은 납땜을 의미합니다. 만약 “resistors and soldering”이라고 한다면 “저항 부품 + 저항 땜질”을 의미합니다.

질문이 있으면 언제든지 연락 주시기 바랍니다. 그리고 앞으로는 메일을 부탁드립니다.
제 메일은 flashteker@gmail.com 입니다.

Hi

Thanks for your interests in our products.

Here are my asnwers to your questions.

1) Is the acrylic diffuser the same as the acrylic case, except with layers 3 and 4 replaced by the frosted diffuser “tray”?
–> You are correct. But diffuser is cut out by CNC while other layers by Laser.

2) What does the T# mean when referring to the acrylic case layers? Thickness in mm?
–> Yes. T is meaning around 1mm in thickness.

3) Are layer 1 and layer 2 interchangeable? I am debating between upper frosted/bottom opaque or upper opaque/bottom frosted and can’t decide. I see there’s a thickness and that the top layer is slightly smaller on the perimeter but other than that are there issues swapping them?
–> No you can’t put the first and second layer alternatevely.

4) Do the upper two layers function as plates? Do they allow for switch top removal/modding without desoldering?
–> Yes right.

5) What style feet are in stock now? The old 3 piece feet or the new 4 piece feet?
–> Sorry for confusing you. New 4 piece feet.

Thanks
Hojin.Yi

Hi

Sorry for saying that it’s impossible to set MX lock for our products.

Thanks.
Hojin.Yi

[flashteker@gmail.comMember]

We don’t recommend nor offer a service to change switch’s top case to clear one.

And, yes it’s possible to put the different switches to each key.

Thanks.

Hi
Window OS is controling Numlock-Status in common.
So when you send the numlock signal to the OS from one keyboard regrardless of main keyboard or numpad, it affects both numlock-status of both keyboards.

But there is a solution ^^

As you know, our keyboards are all programmable.
Keymap the numpad’s keys to numbers when NumLock off.
Set the keyboard to NumLock off.

Thanks.
Hojin.Yi

[flashteker@gmail.comMember]

You know a full keyboard needs a set of stabilizers, which is composed of 4~7 short stabilizers and 1 long stabilizers for a spacebar.(Ten key pad doesn’t need long one.)

It decides the length of the Spacebar stabilizer.
– Winkeyless’s spacebar stabilizer is 7unit long.
– Winkey’s is 6.25unit long.

Hi
Your selections are almost perfect. Here are my answers to your curisioties.

5. Diodes: What are they? Can anyone explain?
-> They are necessary for switches. For general meaning, please see the wiki(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diode)

6. Resistors: What are these also? Can anyone please explain!
-> You don’t need them if you don’t want in-switch LEDS. Resistors are controlling in-switch LED electricity currency.(for general meaning, please see wiki)

8. RGB LED parts: Are these the LED’s that make the keyboard glow around the edges and bottom?
-> Yes you are right.

10. Soldering Switch – Is this like dip switches on the back?
-> Yes you are right.

11. I’m guessing I don’t need lubing? Unless I should?
-> You are right. It’s a personal preference. It’s not essential, but optional.

12. What are stickers even for?
-> Functionally it prevents the top part of a switch from wobbling.
Next, someone says, aesthetically it looks good.

13. Anyone know where to get keycaps for the last row on this keyboard? They seem like it is completely different from regular layouts.
-> Sorry I bought them from a GB. You can find them by searching on-line.

Also whats the difference between the the caps lock positioning and space bar positioning of cherry and majestouch
-> Only pics can explain the difference. See the page http://winkeyless.kr/capslock-position/

thanks.

In the point of functionality, there is no difference between diodes 1N4148W and LL4148.
But in the point of looking, they are a little different.

Both of them are SMD type diodes, not dip ones.
– dip type diodes have 2 long legs going through PCB holes. But SMD type ones don’t.

Anyway, someone says that 1N4148W is easier to solder than LL4148, though it’s not my opinion.

So I can’t tell which one is better.

[flashteker@gmail.comMember]

Hi

Thanks for your interests in our products.

Here are my answers to your questions.

1. You are right. If you don’t choose the soldering options for each service, a PCB comes out unsoldered.
How difficult…. It depends on your ability. But I recommend you to solder them by yourself, because it would be quite pleasant experience. In the while, Soldering Controller parts for a PCB is quite difficult. so I hope you to choose option “Soldering Controller parts”.

2. Stabilizers are necessary even though you use B.pad(Tenkey pad) which requires 4 short stabilizers. It doesn’t matter which type switches you use, pcb-mounted or plate-mounted ones.(We offer only PCB mounted ones)

3. Diodes are required for the switches, so it’s must-have.
Resistors are for in-switch LEDs. Unless you don’t want in-switch LED, you don’t need resistors.

Thanks.
Hojin.Yi

[flashteker@gmail.comMember]

Hi

All the keyboards shown in our site use PCB-mounted switches.
And we recommend PCB-mounted one because it holds the switch more tightly.

But our keyboards supports both PCB and plate mounted switches.

Thanks.
Hojin.Yi

[flashteker@gmail.comMember]

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.
Hojin.Yi

[flashteker@gmail.comMember]

I also missed one thing.

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

Thanks.
Hojin.Yi
