------------------------- Upcoming layout:
An OG XT and DE alphas combo on the TMO50 layout. The top row is R1, because the letters can easily be typed on by touch; while the symbols are not that easy. The DE set has three symbols per key, making it more efficient for this small footprint. What do you think?

Looking hot ideus! So cool that you've thought about this and can't wait to see this keyset combo on the board! :)
Hey funderburker
I‘m incredibly sorry if this question came across rude and made it seem as if I didn‘t want to support you and your design. To clarify: If the situation (money etc.) is right when the GB is running, I will totally join in!
The question came up in a discussion with a friend when talking about what kind of projects with customized keyboards would be cool (an the fact that his school seems to have, for lack of a better word, a „machine“ with which you can theoretically assemble and produce PCBs). I posted it without thinking twice about it being inappropriate when the GB didn‘t even run yet.
I know that some people in the community have a weird entitlement attitude and I myself find it often annoying. Even though I acted the same with my question, I want you to know that it was not my intention and I really appreciate the time and work you put into this awesome design!
Cheers!
No problem man. It sounds like your friend is going to one heck of a cool school! :) I appreciate you giving me a detailed answer and wish you the best with trying the "machine" out. There's a bunch of OS keyboard projects out there now that customs are not only for the wealthy (probably now a lot of these :D) but also super minimal and low-cost ones. Some of which I used to understand PCB designs better. You can
ai03's repos as well RealLaugh's mentioned GH60, Toad and there's definitely some others. Do check the "Building Things Together" part of GH too!
Registered specifically to watch this thread.
Gorgeous work, this is pretty much my endgame :D
Haha, it's an honour to be in the spotlight for you. GH has a great community btw so if you're really into mechanical keyboards, there's a lot of interesting threads here. Do follow TMO50 thread though as I'm hoping that GB could happen in about two/three weeks time.
It's a special layout, very interesting! I hope it's pink!
Definitely thinking about it.
I really like this design. It have a full alpha area which is great! Would buy when it's available!
All alphas are a MUST for myself and was one of the most important design choice for this board. Definitely nice to have a full home row. :)
