Neither board is compatible as far as I know.

Just reviewed the dxf file for the pcb - the dimensions of the holes are ~38mm across so it seems to be way larger than the the specifications of the holtites here: https://www.digikey.com/catalog/en/partgroup/holtite-series/26789 . Gotta put the solder to the metal again!

I don't have my autocad laptop with me right now as I'm outside, but I'll take a look next week on that to see if the dimensions are that. I also have an order of holtites coming in so hopefully this works with the final product
What kind of support will we get for the QMK PCB? Will it come flashed with a default layout? Will the QMK repository be updated with matrix, keymaps, config, etc for the M65-A? If so, when?Thanks!

Will the QMK repository be updated with matrix, keymaps, config, etc for the M65-A? If so, when?Thanks!My guesses:Assuming that Jack accepts the pull request, the QMK support would likely be done before the PCBs ship. Worst case you'd have to grab a fork of QMK.Yes. It's almost unheard of for PCBs to go out without a default layout pre-flashed
Is the original timeline still accurate by the way? If not, what's the latest?
Does anyone know if holtites will be compatible with the QMK PCB?
Quote from: dyoungc on Fri, 31 March 2017, 18:33:50Does anyone know if holtites will be compatible with the QMK PCB?No, as per the discussion a few pages ago. I've also asked jchan directly via discord. No holtites unfortunately. *looks at pack of holtites*

I've also asked jchan directly via discord. No holtites unfortunately. *looks at pack of holtites*Does that apply to both the standard JC65 PCB by winkeyless as well as the QMK version? They were designed and manufactured separate from one another, and QMK seems to be pretty new. Does anyone have the QMK PCB specs yet?
Figuring something out atm, and am wondering what kind of aluminum does the M65-A use?
Made with RAMA from RAMA.WORKS, the M65-A is fully reprogrammable, has underglow, allows for backlit LEDs, and features an ALU6061 rigid body frame design.
I just got the production box and the foam is so nice! These will be packed very nicely.

Any box design spoilers?Probably will take photos of it tomorrow. Gotta take my m65-a apart to make it look good.The box uses a lot of foam, and custom cut outs for each part. These will be packed like this from the manufacturer -> to me -> to you.When I get the shipment, I'll open each box and check the contents to make sure the order is yours, and QC/QA them. Then if its good, pack it into a box and get it out to you .
Dear jchan, I am now with 4 emails unanswered for the qmk. I am still waiting for an updated invoice to pay the 18 usd. Can you please check ? Thank you !Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
weeeeeee... is end of April, early May still accurate for shipping?can't wait to see the awesome box and the awesomer keeb sitting inside it
For those asking to see what the box looks like, Rama posted a picture of it last week on his Facebook.

Please remember I'm moving offices end of April so they might be chilling for a little while! I hear things are a tad behind, due to the recent holiday in China. The delay should only be up to 4 days. But other than that, I think we should get this tracked to me in about 2 weeks.

Jk, I got switches a month or two back, but I'm going to be waiting on keycaps for quite a while. I'm in the SA 1965 GB, but I'll be missing a 1.75u right shift since I based my order around a full sized board at the time. I really wanted to put GMK Nautilus on this, but that GB hasn't even started yet
(Attachment Link) I have all my parts ready—just need M65!

waiting for photos of the packaging!
Is there any recommendations as to which LED's I should get for the underglow and switches? This would be my first build with LED's.
