[IC] Phantom PLATES
« on: Tue, 25 December 2012, 18:55:15 »
bavman requested for me to just take care of the plates, so here it is. Since a Phantom requires and plate, everyone that ordered a PCB should fill out this plate form as well. These are NOT the old phantom plates. I designed these from scratch again to fix a few issues with the old plates, and to add a few new things. Here are some key points:

  • Case compatibility: Filco, *CM quickfire, PLU-87
  • Stabilizer compatibility: costar, plate-mounted cherry, PCB-mounted cherry
  • every switch to can be removed without desoldering, including all stabilizer switches
  • fixed small spacing offset with whole bottom half of old plate
  • centered or off-center caps lock
  • 7bit's plate was replaced with Profesist's requested plate
ANS125 - Popular standard layout of mainstream keyboards. ANSI layout with 1.25x bottom modifiers and 6.25x space bar.



ANS150 - ANSI layout with bottom modifiers in 1.5x - 1x - 1.5x and 7x space bar. Popular with Cherry or Korean customs



ISO125 - ISO layout with 1.25x bottom modifiers and 6.25x space bar.



ISO150 - ISO layout with bottom modifiers in 1.5x - 1x - 1.5x configuration and 7x space bar.



PRF125 - Profesist's custom layout. Adds an extra 2 keys in the function row, 5 keys above arrow keys, and additional keys at the stabilizer switches.



Things that needs to be decided are material and color. Aluminum costs less, but weighs less. However it can be anodized to almost any color. Stainless steel is a couple bucks more per plate, but is heavier and most likely won't have any color. It's probably too cost prohibitive to powdercoat, and the powder will throw off the plate tolerances so I'll have to modify the plate of account for this.


If you want a hybrid combination of these plate layouts, you can request it but please don't PM me about it. Half my time on GH is answering PMs nowadays. Make sure it's compatible with the PCB, make a quick sketch/photoshop of it, post it on here, and if it's has enough interest I can make it.

Additional notes/comments:

It has screw holes to fit a CM quickfire case, but there is one case standoff that gets in the way. Either I need to PM bpiphany to add one tiny hole to the PCB, or you can easily snip/file some of the standoff height off.

The plate itself is compatible with PCB-mounted cherry stabilizers, but the PCB does not have holes for PCB-mounted stabilizers, so you must use plate-mounted ones.

These will either be shipped directly by me, included with the PCBs and bavman can take care of it, or sent to profesist to reship again. There might be additional costs that split if it's not directly from me.

For price, I realize that it can affect the number of plates people get. But at the same time, I can't get an accurate price quote without knowing quantities of each plate. I'll see if I can get all the different plates to count towards total number ordered instead of separate items.

The only switch that does not have full 4 side support is the caps lock (only supported on 3 sides). This is not a problem, but just something I wanted to mention. Once it's soldered on, then it won't matter.

WFD, if we ordered a Universal TKL plate from you, is that the same as the ANSI125 plate here?

More of those plates should have the 5 extra keys above the arrow cluster. These are easy extra keys without having to worry about odd keycap sizes with prof's plate. Considering how many Phantom orders there are this time around (and that phantom owners are the primary target of this group buy), I would rather there be extra keys above the arrow cluster than cutouts for controllers boards for keyboards that already have plates.

Perhaps I will just submit my own plate idea:

With this layout, are the "normal" function keys still exactly lined up with the open spots on a filco/plu87 case?

No. You could get by with the gap between esc and F1, but the gaps between F4/F5 and F8/F9 would need to be cut. Though if you ask me, it's pretty easy to make cuts in these plastic cases. I removed the plastic above the arrow keys for a Filco case using only a small hacksaw and a utility knife. I was somewhat impatient when I did it, but the end result still looked pretty good.

Perhaps a regular ANS125 plate with the 5 extra keys above arrow cluster would be better... I cant see much use for the two extra keys in the function row, except as a place to cram in a couple more novelty keycaps...

Ok, I guess this well exclusively but phantom plate only. I'll add the 5 extra switch holes above the arrow keys on all of them, but that just means you lose PCB compatibility with Filco and CM quickfire PCBs. The case from these two can still be used though. The reason why I dropped those 5 extra keys above the arrow was because the last phatom GB was huge, and yet only one person (profesist) actually used that space. It wasn't that popular back then. You'll also have to take a dremel and modify the case in that area.

Was anyone interested in this plate for Filco/CM quickfire and NOT phantom?

I used that space :D

Though honestly, considering how large the previous group buy was, I haven't seen very many completed phantoms posted aside from a handful of the more active forum members. Is there any data available on who used those extra keys above arrow cluster and who didn't?

Say if we buy the ansi 125 w extra holes, we still have the option to use it like a normal ANSI 125 plate right ? ( Saying this only because of casing and keycaps woes)

Any price estimate? I wasn't here before, but the numbers I seem to see are about $20. Is this accurate?)

I'm trying to decide if I want to get two plates (150 and 125 ansi) or just one... Not sure!

Thanks for doing this. I'm really looking forward to my phantom :)

150 is 1.5x modifiers, often used without any win/menu at all, however sometimes with 1x win/menu caps.

How many orders you need before you shift this to the GB section?
If this is going to happen, is it possible to have the exact measurements of the plate so we can move long to design a casing for the "special ANSI 125" ?

A proper case design needs it's own plate design that integrates to the case, they should be designed as a cohesive unit.

It's also winkeyless. I'd prefer winkey ('cause then I don't have to get a tsangan kit for it), but otherwise prefer this layout.

WFD states in the OP that the new plate will fit into a filco, Quickfire, PLU case.  I guess there could be a case build around the new plate, as I'd be interested in an aluminum one myself.  One that would incorporate the extra numpad keys.  But I like the idea of being to use an existing case as well.

Whatever the gets voted on and accepted, I would really like Stainless Steel.  It's only a couple extra bucks, I'd pay it.

Just to be completely clear.  These will fit the phantom 2 right?

How do we make sure that the cases will fit both the plates and the PCB and the tensey?

I remember some guy posting that he was designing a case and it didn't fit because of the tensey controller.  I would be pretty upset if I ordered custom PCB/Plate/Case and they didn't fit together.

For anyone who uses an HHKB on a regular basis, the 60% portion of this layout exactly matches the HHKB layout. You won't have to train your fingers to go from your HHKB to your Phantom, as the layouts are the same. Just program the Phantom firmware to match the keymap of the HHKB. Plus you have all the function keys and an arrow cluster/tenkey pad built in.

Sorry guys I've been AFK for a few days, and I think GH was down most of today. Anyways I already sent in the files for quotes for an estimate of 130 plates in both aluminum and stainless steel. From the looks of it, then need more exact numbers on each plate and they count each as a separate part rather than a total of 130 plates. I'll post more when I get the chance.

Yeah I realized that right after I posted. It was fixed before I sent it for quotes. Haven't gotten the chance to upload the new pic yet.

150 is 1.5x modifiers, often used without any win/menu at all, however sometimes with 1x win/menu caps.

So basically with a 150 you can also use 1.25 modifiers but just without the menu modifier on the right? Unless I'm completely mistaken, but the 150 has the same mounting holes from what I can tell on the pics. How would a 1.5 modifier fit in there then? *confused*

It should actually be possible to do a 1.25-1.25-1.25-7.00-1.25-1.25-1.25 setup, but that would leave some gaps... It would be more like
(0.125)-1.25-1.25-1.25-(0.125)-7.00-(0.125)-1.25-1.25-1.25-(0.125)
