Do you get both connectors, if you decide to upgrade to type c?
I am not a smart man, will this work with any 60% tray mount case, like the bumper for example?
Mate, the FR4 plate option does not relate to the switch plate, but rather the bottom right? So if I'm getting a case I wouldn't need it.
Does the PCB support VIA or only QMK?
TYVMMate, the FR4 plate option does not relate to the switch plate, but rather the bottom right? So if I'm getting a case I wouldn't need it.
Sorry I should have made it clearer. The FR4 plate is a switch plate not a case bottom. If you don't want a plateless board and want a cheap option for a switch plate, this is for you.
The PCB will come with a default QMK keymap but there will hopefully be a VIA keymap and support within VIA. I'm not a VIA user myself so there is some learning I must do to make this happen.
Nooooo! I could not buy it! Fk!
Was deciding on the colors, didn't know there was a limited stock

Is there any plan reopen at a later date or another run? I was planning to purchase but I see I was too late due to the early closure of the GB :(

+1. I'm hoping for another run in the future.
That's a really nice move! I would love to buy it from you.
Any ideas for cases and keycap sets that might help accentuate the pcb window? So far I'm considering the MT3 susuwatari paired with a black tofu, or possibly the blue and white MT3 set paired with the ultramarine klippe.
I tested the flashing process again on a spare blank MCU I have, everything works with the flash and the production bootloader image including the VIA enabled QMK firmware.Thanks for the update, personally I really appreciate the VIA support =)
Anywhere I can subscribe for possible r2 or left over stock about this PCB? I don't always check this forum and really am interested in picking up a PCB sometime.
looking forward to build this keyboard!
to improve my 3d and render skills, i used the lumberjack as a test piece today:

Not sure what post GB plans are but there will be extras and probably other stuff.
I've put up a form for if you want to be emailed when there is news: https://forms.gle/AuwkYoE6p6PvZoRX9
Thanks again for keeping us so well informed. Very sorry about the mix up, hope you can sell these extras quick enough. I, for one, am fine with just USB mini and will look out for the extras.
Got my keycaps, switches, and case ready and waiting! :thumb:
You need to share what you're planning, I can't wait to see everyone's builds.I will absolutely do that, but I want to share when it's done only because I'm not 100% confident what I had in mind will work or not, and I have a Plan B.
I just got a wooden case in, the typical wood 60% out of Walnut and it is surprisingly nice.
Licit Mk2 Brass case 1 of 20
Licit custom plate for Lumberjack 1 of 1
probably Tangies with gazzew silver stems
not sure on keycaps yet.
Decided it was time to make an account after lurking for some 2+ years.
PCB arrived today, and it looks super clean! Thank you for running this :D
Is there enough space to place an LCD display unit in the middle?
Another Sunday, another update.Beautiful keeb, optional OLED support, AND in-stock PCBs (hopefully), what else can we ask mate!
Kits have gradually been turning up in people's mailboxes, it's nice to get word from people that they've received their kit. Please send me pics of your builds, I'll start:
(http://i.imgur.com/jXMUWbE.jpg) (https://imgur.com/jXMUWbE)
The same white Tofu case but this time with a blue PCB, pink Bobagum switches and GMK Dark.
For those of your still waiting for your order to arrive, remember, the real hobby is waiting.
Hopefully it won't be much longer, I think I confused some people by adding the postage order numbers to the Paypal invoices, these are not tracking codes. Postage has definitely taking longer than PostNL specify, I think this is due to a combination of Covid just making everything take longer and the fact that we've just been through spring holiday season here in the Netherlands where every other weekend has a holiday of some kind for some reason or another.
For those waiting for extras, there will be 20 extra kits available once everyone's GB orders have been received, ensure you have joined the mailing list. And following that there will be more kits as I get parts in to complete kits for the remaining PCBs I have, I'm not sure if this will be in the form of a mini group buy or as in stock items.
Enjoy your week/keyboards everyone.
Kits have gradually been turning up in people's mailboxes, it's nice to get word from people that they've received their kit.Hi @Peej,
The link to the extras form is broken and it turns out I'm going to need an extra black PCB.
This might actually work! ;D
Yeah buddy! Signed up. Now, we wait.The link to the extras form is broken and it turns out I'm going to need an extra black PCB.
The mailing list signup form for extras is here (https://peej.us1.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=ab8e9bbf4e9743beb374b50eb&id=aa921d60d8), let me know if it's not working for you, I decided to switch away from a Google form cos I wanted people to be able to unsubscribe.
Yeah, the plate is mounted with pins in the corner, so there's no downward pressure on it!This might actually work! ;D
Nice. How does the mounting on the Prophet work? Is the plate attached to the case somehow?
Maybe I (we?) happen to have gotten an mcu without flashed bootloader?
Handling so many chips alone I can imagine that you accidentally skip one or another getting interrupted.
I tried two mcus so far (ordered two sets) and both didn‘t work.
I could try reflashing the bootloader and firmware tonight. First I have to solder the headers though, I skipped them for aesthetic reasons ;D
There is a VIA compatible firmware available in QMK.
Fair enough, now the board connects! Thank you very much! All buttons work and I can reconnect it in qmk toolbox.
While testing the buttons most of the times the left LED lid up. Only some times the right one lid up. Is there a pattern to why which lights up?
Now just one short question: In the docs (https://github.com/peej/lumberjack-keyboard) you mention VIA-Support:
qmk compile -kb peej/lumberjack -km via
Another quick question: If I'd wanted to replace the red LEDs with a different color, R7/R8 are the resistors which belong to the LEDs, right?
The LEDs are configured to light the left on key press and the right on layer change. This is in lumberjack.c in the firmware so if you want different behaviour you can adjust it here.
[...]
The firmware that comes on the MCU in the kit is the VIA keymap, if you fire up VIA it should "just work".Oh no, I didn't try that because I'm not used to VIA-support out of the box :D
Yes, pick the appropriate resistor size for your LED of choice and how bright you want it.Thank you for the quick confirmation.
Mine ha s started acting up as well, was working fine the other day and I could flash it. Now it does it turns up as an unknown device 7/10 times when I plug it in, and when it does work it's only for a few minutes before it disconnects..
Could it be a bad batch of zenners, or am I just bad at soldering :))
IDK how I would test them, is it enough with a multimeter or do I need a regulated power source as well?
I think I can get some this week from Amazon. Your BOM on Github does not mention a parts number, just a voltage, is there a specific one I should be looking for? Zeners are black magic to me as well, don't know a whole lot about them to be honest! ;D
Here's my build:
Tofu E-white case
Black Lumberjack PCB
Tangerines 67g + 8 Roeslio 67g, both lubed with kryptox 0205 & everglide screw in stabs
AliExpress Apple classic-keycaps.
Have 8 roselios close to the middle panel so the orange of the tangle-cases don't shine through :D
I use this together with an apple mouse on my iMac work.
I ordered a pack of zeners, will probably have time to test some this weekend even if they don't get here by then!So now I've replaced the zenners, double checked every soldering point, I tried the atmega IC from the second kit, I reflowed and multimeter tested the USB C connector, but still Windows will only detect it as an unknown device!
Those of you waiting for extras, they will be available once all the GB orders have arrived. As I've said before, there will be plenty of extras due to my PCB ordering error. I will be using some left over funds to get the kit parts together so the kits will be ready to send asap as the parts are compiled together. The only limitation will be how fast I can do that, so there will be a form for orders and it will produce a queue which I will work through.Question on that, will you be offering PCB only, or is it just easier to do the full kits from a workflow and inventory perspective?

Just wanted to announce for those that are waiting, ThocKeys will be having some extras available on Friday June 18th at around 11AM Eastern Time.

Made a geekhack account and a thockeys account just for this. hopefully i can get one and the shipping to Manila wont cost as much as the kit. Good luck to all of us, campers!
To frame the question, I only need a Black PCB, but if it's easier for you just to sell these as kits I would still be interested.

Also from Manila! When I ordered it through peej, the shipping was around 9 euros, but it was sent as a mailbox package. Hope ordering it through ThocKeys won't be too expensive for you.
Hello, due to an unforseen personal conflict (one of my kids is sick), I'm going to have to push this out one week. The sale of extras will now be next Friday June 25th. I apologize for the short notice and delay.

Here are the images of the board I made! Using the kbdfans walnut case and mt3 profile keycaps, the case ended up 3mm ajar at the number row. Still works good enough for me.

Nice, the wood and components together reminds me of those old wooden radio cabinets.
How come the case doesn't quite sit right? Is it a misalignment with the USB opening?

Been up for 3hrs for this, I think & hope I managed to get it! :thumb: Looks like my first keyboard has been decided if so
godspeed! great choice for a first keeb. just got my order in! cant wait for the second batch of people and their builds.
Will all extra kits in the future (usbc ones) also not have fr4 plates?
I assume that there are no extras for those so there isn't a point in holding out.
Just got my extra buy in and took it on a super scuff "test run" (aka I stuck switches on it on my deskmat and pulled the keycaps off my current board). Just off looks alone this was one of my endgames, and now having played around with it a little bit? I don't think I'm ever going back to standard layouts. This is just such a nice design. Having the hands apart that little bit is way comfier, and ortholinear has my fingers flying around the keyboard much less. So excited to get these finished and turned into daily drivers!

Glad to hear you enjoyed moving away from row stagger! Next step would be trying a split keyboard with column stagger! :cool: Thats where I'm currently at as of the moment.
I moved from standard layout to planck, and I even typed using the ergoplanck method of having my pinkies rest on the outermost columns. Trying out a split keyboard made me reach new levels of comfort with how I could have my hands further from one another. Doing the ergoplanck method on the lumberjack feels all the more comfy, and i don't see myself touching my planck even more so anymore. Though my split is what I find the most comfy, I'm enjoying the lumberjack way too much to go back to it. Loving the sound and I love playing with my new toy, so that takes priority over the comfort I have with my split. The lumberjack is definitely gonna be the board I use outside of my home going forward.
Sofle V2 is the plan. :cool: The lumberjack will likely become my at-work board, I alternate between WFH and in-office (or both in one day) but my in-office work would likely make a split more of a nuisance than an advantage with my desk setup there. There's some games I'd probably want the lumberjack for at home as well just to have all the keys on one board.
We'll see! Half the fun of keyboards I'm learning is in experimentation.
Is there a .dxf plate file for this board?
Is there a .dxf plate file for this board?
I exported the relevant layers from KiCad and plotted them as a DXF. You'll probably want to adjust some things to your liking, but the switch and standoff holes should be correctly positioned.
Anyone having issues flashing it via qmk msys? I get the following error when I try to flash the keyboard. It was working fine when I had flashed it using qmk toolbox before, but for some reason qmk toolbox isn't opening for me anymore. Due to this, I've been using qmk msys for all my flashing lately.
Does anybody know if the PCB would work in a B-Box60? I'm thinking of putting a white PCB in the Tianwen Box60. It looks like I could screw in the middle hole. And it looks like I would have to modify the outlet in the back to accommodate a mini-usb since that's the kit I got.

It would work but the pcb is banana shaped the black one and the red one is warped on the right so one or two sides will bow up if that makes sense. At least with my units
I was able to finally build one of the extras I snagged! This was also my first ever build with MillMax sockets, and it was surprisingly easier than I thought it would be :DShow Image(https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/585255742068621378/881663864507367465/image1.jpg)Show Image(https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/585255742068621378/881663864163401809/image0.jpg)
60% Wooden Case from KBDFans (It also has a lid!)
KTT Roses (61.5g)
MT3 e2048 by biip
The lumberjack is also one of the most comfortable ortho boards I own—also got a friend interested in mechanical keyboards after he saw my build.
Next thing on the list is to try and get some FR4 plates for this build. If anybody has extras, please let me know!

Which sockets did you use? I've been considering mil-maxing one or both of mine when I get them built.
I see Topre, DT990 and Lumberjack in the same picture and I approve! (in spite of those clear caps)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/FEWT6Cl.jpg)
If anyone needs a plate for there lumberjack i have enough left for 3 builds. EU only. ps its not free
Contact me trough Discord Sup#2504
