The ones for the LightSaver fit my T6 metric star-shaped screwdriver.  Probably the same for the keypad.

How much is one atom of elements with half lives of milliseconds? This pad pales in comparison.

But to answer your question, high quality aluminum

Time and knowledge of CAD to make the product, distributed prototyping cost, small production run, high quality aluminum, milling costs, anodizing costs, PCB SMD component soldering costs, laser cut stainless steel plate (or aluminum, not sure which it is) and so on.  It would be considerably cheaper if it were just the PCB, but a milled aluminum case and laser cut and properly finished plate makes it much pricier. 

I couldn't afford one at the time, but, all things considered, it's actually not a bad price for what you're getting.  I think it's actually cheaper than some of the other Korean custom keypads you see pop up on here from time to time.

Having a play with the pad:

To get it into programming mode with the USB unplugged hold down the top left key down then plug the USB in; in Device Manager you will see "ATm32U4DFU" appear. Programming will be done with flip.

When i get home ill have a stab at it.

Got FLIP running, recognizes the pad but I have no idea on how to dump the hex / write my own from scratch.

I haven't assembled mine yet but I'm not sure if the scanner/copier/printer I have scans properly as I usually use a portable document scanner. I'll give it a shot this evening.

Is it a CAD extension? Some of the places I've checked out can't work from that format.  In any case, I'll definitely take it and see if I can make it work.

Does anyone have the matrix of these? As in Row/columns to what keys?

Metalliqaz is trying to adapt his Easy AVR USB Keyboard Firmware and Keymapper to several boards. It's a whole lot easier to use for programming and gives a ton of options that the classic TMK firmware doesn't account for such as volume and media keys.

I just got mine a few days ago so I will be making some shots before I send it off to be modified anyway but maybe someone already has the necessary info.

I believe you can find them here. I can check later but I definitely have a pair that fits.

Could be that they are the same ones as for the Lightsaver V1

I may or may not have damaged part of the PCB of my keypad while desoldering. :-\

If I wanted to buy a replacement PCB, would KBD4U be the only one that fit this case, or are there other ones that are compatible as well?
