Also, some folks over at Deskthority stayed out of the MassDrop group buy for religious or philosophical reasons and intend to start their own group buy.  It will probably take a long time, however.

Hmm...Now you have me thinking about trying to wire up a keyboard on a breadboard. What could possibly go wrong?

You could lose your mind.

That ship has sailed. And sunk.

I'm trying to get my head around stabilizing the switches. If I understand correctly, the through-hole version of the MX switch has a stabilizing pin/lug, which I'm guessing is what the 4mm hole is for in the middle of each key on the PCB. So, if I were not using a plate, I'd need to drill out those holes to accomodate the switches.

I could also offer a chicken as a sacrifice.

That 4mm center pin is on all the switches.  PCB mount adds 2 smaller pins to either side of it.

Massdrop has 200+ requests for another GB. They will probably run it as soon as this batch has shipped. Since Chinese New Year is now over, you may be able to get your hands on an ErgoDox 8-10 weeks from now. I think we may even see a DCS keycap buy.

So last mass-drop update makes it sound like they could start shipping these end of the week or just a little later. not sure how many they can fulfill each day though.

By this time next week, we hope the first ErgoDox kits will already be in the mail!

they better damn come, i got to go on an extended business trip the beginning of April, would kill me for it to come in while i'm gone, worse if someone stole the package.

How big of a deal do you think the lack of contour would be for a long time Kinesis user?

Man I remember some years ago emailing Kinesis ... I think it was after they came out with their freestyle, asked "When are you going to make a fully split contour?"
And the answer was something like "No plans at this time."

Though TBH when i'm using the mbp keyboard its not the lack of contour that bothers me.

I didn't not get a tracking number in the email, however I checked my order status on MD earlier today and saw the tracking number.
So click your username -> My transactions -> recent transactions on massdrop.com and you'll see a tracking number if they shipped yours.

i am kind of pissed about the shipping. I realize it was free and all but i ordered 2 of these things and the keycaps, seriously spent hundreds of dollars on this and massdrop ended up shipping it out the cheapest method possible. If i would have known this free shipping was so crap i would have jammed my own money down massdrop's throat for it to be shipped 2 day fedex.

Maybe by some miracle it will come Friday (today), the tracking hasn't updated since TUESDAY afternoon so maybe no news is good news. If that miracle happens maybe i can build it Saturday morning before i head out towards georgia.  sigh, this is sort of depressing.

Anything wrong with smd with regular solder and a pen?

Should I clean my board with something if I am using flux core solder?

Wought, just got my kit today! :D Noticed one interesting change that will make assembly a tad trickier, however...

The diodes should now mounted underside rather than topside, and a choice of SMDs and thru-hole diodes are provided; apparently this is due to inadequate room for thru-hole diodes topside between the mounting plate and PCB. I'm guessing there was a slight increase in the mounting plate thickness with whatever fab shop gave the lowest bid for plate cutting, and this meant that mounting the diodes topside wouldn't leave enough of the switch pins protruding through the PCB to solder to the underside.

It appears if we decided to use the thru-hole diodes provided instead of the SMDs, we would need to insert them from the underside and solder them same-side, rather than on the opposite side as usual. Fortunately, this would at least make it easier to clip the excess wire flush with the PCB on the topside, having no solder on that side bulking up the connection.

I'm thinking this may also make a case for getting switches with built-in diodes if available next time, as the board appears to be set up for that option already.

I got mine and put it together, but I'm having a couple issues:

  • The whole hjkl;' row on the right hand side isn't registering
  • When I plug in the left hand board, it repeats "12345=" as if the keys are held pressed down

I double checked the diodes and switch solder points, and they seem to be all fine. I'm wondering if something is grounding out against the aluminum case... Anyone have any ideas?
*edit*
I didn't look carefully enough; there was a short between one of my switches on one side of the pcb to the other caused by some sloppy soldering
