Does this board need mounting holes (there aren't any right now)?
Well, now mounting holes might be nice. Maybe you can use some of the same relative positions as the GH60 uses. Obviously not all of them will fit.
So it seems only 2 of the mounting holes that match would be useful. Others are off the board entirely, because the 60% is so much larger
. Between the B & N, and on the left board-edge vertically between CTRL and SHIFT. The one between TAB & A will probably be too difficult to access, it's probably 30-40% under the 'A' switch body. Given the size of the board, I just added one under the ENTER key. I guess that should work ok?
Because I must be coo coo for cocoa puffs, I also tossed together this alternative board which uses my teensy-on-a-daughterboard and THEORETICALLY offers full individual LED support with a MAX7219 (also on a separate daughterboard). Those boards under the main PCB add something like 8mm to the overall thickness.
I might try to add the MAX directly to the other design, but I haven't been able to get it to work outside of an Arduino sketch, so, it's kind of unproven. When running Teensyduino it works great, you can make neat running LED patterns, slow-glow the LEDs, etc... but then I don't have a keyboard... so uhh... anyone who knows more than me want to take a stab at making the Teensy talk SPI to the MAX?
I'd love to get that working, because I have 3 other projects I'd like to use it with
