Any updates if HHKB will be available for purchase? Waiting with unbuild TX60 HHKB for this pcb.

Nice! Glad to see those left shift stabilizer holes cut out. Not that I didn't trust you... but y'know.

You say bare, so does that mean you are doing all of the surface mount soldering?

Last question... when could one expect these boards to leave you and be en route to us?

Hey guys! I'm excited to get this PCB and do my very first build!

Any recommendation for a nice aluminum plate to go along this PCB?
I've seen Sentraq selling one in their website (with a nice Champagne Gold color); and am also aware of KBDfans selling them in their stores. Are these good options? Any other vendor I should be aware of?

Thanks!!

Both of those plates are fine and basically the same quality. I've ordered two from each vendor. I had a problem with one from KBDFans where the side had been crushed a bit and I couldn't get it back in the right shape (which is usually pretty easy for aluminum), and they sent a replacement quickly. The only ones I've had issue with is the ones made for costar stabilizers (i think they sell them on aliexpress and ebay both). The plate was too large to fit most of my 60% cases. But the ones you mention shouldn't have that issue.

I would like to see an ISO only plate on your website. Universal plate might be really loose with kailh hotswap sockets for a 60% board. There is really no one selling ISO only plates any where.

Quote from: Jon_Flynn on Sat, 14 April 2018, 07:12:33

It’s something I’ve mentioned to David as well. I’m doing a livestream build of a prototype HS60 a week today with Meliewx - we will be using a universal plate so will be able to confirm then

Hey guys, I finally ordered a Sentraq aluminum plate in Universal Layout. I am worried now that maybe I should have got the ANSI one instead.

Are the Kailh hot swap sockets loose on Universal Plates?

Thanks!

P.S.: I may still have time to change my Sentraq order.

It's really not that bad but yes some switches will be a bit looser than others where there is no alu on top or bottom of the switch where the switch clips are at, for example the pipe key.

I i were you and i got a ansi pcb them i would get the andi plate. Your switches will have a better fit and if you want to you could always so the plate later

enrique.aliaga · « **Reply #68 on:** Fri, 18 May 2018, 13:25:59 »

I’m gonna try to get my order changed and get an ANSI one instead of the Universal.

So all individual orders have been either shipped for EU customers, or shipped to US proxy. All other orders that are combined with GMK stabs (for example) will need to wait till mid June sadly as that is when GMK will ship.

Here are the ANSI ones

No tracking here, either.

I guess time will tell.

We're still waiting on GMK to send their stabs so all orders with those included are delayed. We'll have extras available soon, in the next couple of days or so.

FYI, I live in Tennessee, USA, and I just got my HS60 in the mail today.

I'm in the middle of packing for a week long vacation, so I don't know that I'll be able to test out much. I'll report back what I can.

I do know that it won't fit in a Tex low profile case b/c of a diode by the USB cable. Those cases have supports going across that restrict quite a few PCBs. I wasn't really expecting it to work. I'll try some more cases tonight if I have time.

pixelpusher · « **Reply #97 on:** Sat, 23 June 2018, 21:06:10 »

Okay, here's what I've tested:

Doesn't fit properly in Klippie (D2 diode is like RIGHT NEXT to the mounting hole) It will go in if you put the PCB off-center which, I will not.

Doesn't fit in the 5degree case from KBDFans. The extra two top screw mounts on that case come into contact with a diode and the hot-swap pieces on the back of the PCB.

Doesn't fit in Aliexpress wooden case (something making contact on the left and also the middle screw support)

Soooo.... I don't have any cases this will work in.

I guess I can put it in my TX60, although I'm not sure how a hotswap board works in a top mount board... maybe it will NOT just fall out? Maybe the PCB mounted stablizers will hold it in? AND I just remembered my TX60 is HHKB layout and this has no split right shift. Hmm... I've got 5 empty cases that this PCB will not go in. This blows.

Anyone have a case this fits in?

So I’ve got an ISO one here, and it works in a 5degree case - a bit of tape over the additional mount stops it shorting.

I have a wooden royal glam case, no issues whatsoever. I’ve got another cheap Ali wooden case that’s low pro - again no issues.

It also works just fine in my tina C, tx60 as top mount (seems held in pretty darn tight).

My klippe and revo also have 0 problems.

Do you have a pic of the pcb? I’m wondering if there is some part that is catching just on your one.
