I filled out the form. I'm down for 2 definitely. Any idea on holtite support?I'm not sure about holtite.
I'm pretty bad looking at these PCB's, but I assume you could do a layout with arrow keys and a regular 6.25 space bar? Just five 1u keys on the right.
It will have rgb led Underground ?

It does.
Is the PCB going to be black and QMK support?For now.

We focus on TMK firmware, and I never study QMK.
If there's many people want QMK support.
We have to do some research.

Yup,
I believe QMK add some more features.
And the setting file must have to support those features.
QMK is an extension of TMK and uses the same core, if you know TMK it is really easy to add also support QMK (unless you have extensive custom code and non-standard hardware at least).

Add one more key on the right of spacebar.

If you examine the layout sheet, this will most definitely not work, sorry.
Only 7u and split space support with arrows.
Are there significant differences between this board and the DZ60 from KBDFans? I'm not criticizing, just curious.
This PCB looks great but:
- No screw hole near the space bar (ATMega is on his way?)
- No right screw hole
I think this 2 "issues" will limit the cases choice.

I hadn’t noticed that. You’re correct. I would expect all 6 standard mounting holes. I might be able to live without the bottom one, but we need thr one on the right for sure
This PCB looks great but:We remove one of screw hole from the PCB because of it is on the stab/switches' position.

Do you have any choice over soldermask color?Only white now :(
Could you possibly support offset 6u spacebar?It should support if you mean 6 units (114mm wide, 3 keymounts, 57mm and 38mm apart).

What options are there for a convex gmk space-bar? Convex like the standard spacebars, while existing shift keys are concave and unusable as spacebars, in my opinion.

Not sure whether you mean cherry profile or not but I don't think GMK makes convex space-bars other than 6u, 6.25u and 7u.
If you mean cherry though, a few pbt manufacturers make cherry profile space bars in white, beige, light gray, dark gray and black.
Wait. Jun? Did you mean June or did you mean Jan as in January?
Don't you mean January rather than June?
Cause we changed the switches direction for each and 1.
Which means we have to push the usb and Pcb out.
So the Pcb will go into the USB port.
If the cutout space is really tight, it is not able to fit.

If you use USB C instead of mini, it is wider and thinner. So it fits. USB C connector is 2.5mm tall, while USB mini is 3.9mm, so you could even use a 1.6mm+(3.9mm-2.5mm)=3.0mm PCB.
There is also the option of using a cut through connector

Thanks for your answer, so the mid mount connector would be the only chance.PCB mount stabs don’t work with thicker PCBs. So a thick PCB will work only if used with a plate and plate mounted stabs. You could order the PCBs with z-axis milling to thin them around the stab holes, but the cost would be prohibitive I think.
I think that many would like the chance of saving (money, time), by not having a plate, with a thicker PCB.

Really? How thick? Even screw mounted pcb stabs require the pcb to be 1.6mm, as only one side is mounted with a screw while the other end is held via mechanical retention.Thanks for your answer, so the mid mount connector would be the only chance.PCB mount stabs don’t work with thicker PCBs.

I doubt that they don't work since the UNIQEY PCB is thicker and has PCB mount stabilisers. There are also screw mount stabilisers, that work with any thickness. The point is that trying new layouts is easier if you don't have to order a plate too.

Since gmk makes 1u and 2u convex (spacebar-like) keys, what about contacting them asking for other sizes? I don't know if 3u or 3.25u .... Or both?

It is different direction.Show Image(https://imgur.com/V28n9RC.jpg)
No matter how thin the port is.
The PCB's space is the same.
You can see there's no room for thicker PCB.
(This is first sample, , PCB is not extended near port, 2mm is okay, but for 2nd sample, it will extend and goin to the cutout, if it become thicker, not able to fit I think)
Not every case's cutout is the same as this one, but if we make it with 2mm.
Means some cases might not fit.
Would you have a picture of the pcb and stabs? I’m interested to see whether they have resorted to z-axis milling or custom stabs.Really? How thick?

I won't have one at hand for a long time. You can simulate the different thickness with paper (0.1mm/sheet)
Did you measure it?It fits tight on a 1.6mm pcb. No rattle.
Did you measure it?
It's not irrelevant.

Not sure if I missed it, but how is the PCB programmed?
I would’ve liked the screw hole areas as an oval shape instead of circles, as some cases are a bit funky with placement (Like the Tina with the older Bfake PCB’s).
Anyway, great price I will probably join. :thumb:

We found ws2812b is too sensitive to temperature.
First sampling is using normal setting while smt processing.
Makes the failure rate too high.
We're going to make second batch and change the setting.

About manufacturing:
Takes around 2 months to manufacture
Pricing:
PCB :$30Looking for higher quantity, and make the price as low as $25
Plate :$17 eachHope we can do it with only $12 after higher quantity
Stabilizer : $6 each for 7*2u and 1*6.25u
Not sure if I missed it, but how is the PCB programmed?
I would’ve liked the screw hole areas as an oval shape instead of circles, as some cases are a bit funky with placement (Like the Tina with the older Bfake PCB’s).
Anyway, great price I will probably join. :thumb:
It will run QMK. Regarding the screw holes, from Doyu's GB page, it has been stated that they will do exactly this!
with usb c
all i need is a single cable if i use this with macbook pro 2016?
I never tried cause my mac is old ver, but I think yes, adapters just change the type of USB!
For a USB type C device, it must be explicitly designed so that it supports direct USB-C to USB-C connections. In particular, the correct arrangement of pull up and pull down resistors must be in place so that a device functions in this configuration. See the following document: http://www.ti.com/lit/wp/slly017/slly017.pdf
From that document: "Noticeably absent from the USB Type-C receptacle is the ID pin. The determination of host or peripheral functionality is handled differently in Type-C. Here, the host or peripheral detection is done through monitoring channel configuration (CC) pins (CC1/CC2) while toggling at a specific interval between a pull-up resistor and pull-down resistor. Depending on the voltage level detected on the CC pins after a defined de-bounce time, the device becomes either a host or a peripheral."
I'm curious to know if the DO60 is designed with the correct pull up/down resistors to determine that it will be a peripheral in a USB-C to USB-C configuration?
Not sure if I missed it, but how is the PCB programmed?QMK for now.

Hi,
The schematic is unconnected for cc pins.
Cause 32u4 support only usb2.0.
The features in 3.1 is not useful for the chip right now.
Why usb-c?
It will become more popular in the future.
If we change the chip for supporting more features in the future, it might become useful.
And most important!! It doesn't care direction, you will use it without annoying while plug it.
I'm checking this these days.Hi,

Thank you for your thorough reply, and letting me know about the schematic, I really appreciate it. I agree, it's awesome to see more PCBs with USB-C, and I'm glad you are using it.
Unfortunately, even though it's a USB 2.0 device, if the CC pins are floating, I don't believe it will work in a direct USB-C to USB-C configuration (i.e. you would need a USB-C to USB-A cable, then an OTG adapter with USB-A female on the computer with the USB-C port). Even thought it's USB2.0, the CC pins need pull-down resistors to allow USB-C to USB-C connections. It would be really cool to see this, maybe in a rev. 2 of the board!
I'm checking this these days.
If cc pins have to connect to GND with pull down resistors.
We'll modify it this time.

Thanks for looking into this! I'm looking forward to hearing about your findings.
I see that there is a header in the middle of the keyboard. Is that something that I could use for maybe adding extra keys or LEDs?
No,Ah. Nah, well. That's what I thought anyway. Thanks for answering.
It is for testing.

Just to add some info, the following application note might be helpful. I know it deals with a different microcontroller, but it describes in general what is required for a legacy USB device in terms of the resistors on the CC lines when using a USB Type-C connector. In particular, there's a schematic on pg. 16 that might help.

Hi,
Thank you, we've solve the issue by add resistors.
And it works with nex Mac pro type-c now.

This is good work here. Thank you sennin.

Is 1.5--1--1.5--3--3--1.5--1--1--1.5 supported?cause it will happen after v0.2.8.
The link with all supported layouts says it is, but looking at the photo of the PCB, I can't spot the corresponding switch / stabilizer holes.
Did you measure it?If it is too long, the stabiliser will rattle because there would be too much free space so it wouldnt be able to accommodate thick and thin pcb at the same time. I can imagine screw in stabs working though.
Hi,
Guys we've sent all the orders except 3.
They didn't reply me about the color issue (We miscalculate the color, so black one is not enough :confused:)
If you guys haven't received your pcb, please tell me :)
