Kewl. What controller does it use?
Kewl. What controller does it use?
Teensy++. I needed the pins for the big ol' matrix.
So are we able to fit these babies in our 2100s and can we order plates along with them that will fit?
This looks like a dream for me.
But a few question left:
1, Shipping to Germany is possible?/How much?
Or is ordering it/receiving it in September is fine? (will visit New York so shipping costs could be shorten.. maybe)
2. Do I need to solder anything other than switches onto the board? (If I will have to solder a teensy maybe it works, but anything else I really DO NOT KNOW (the total newbie at this)
3. Is it possible to replace the display in the top right corner which switches?
4. ISO is supported, but (like you said) I can make some nice things like HHKB Rshift..., or?
5. Casing is probably meant to be made by myself - so wood work I come.. ;)
6. Whats about the top plate? Include/ not because of the many different variants?
Thanks so far!
Overnight update:
I have an empty beige PC-122 case from Unicomp. They cost $20, and look like a nice textured-plastic M-122 case, which they probably are. I believe I can modify the layout to enable the PCB to be cut into two or three sections to fit the Unicomp case with some ribbon cables.
Would that path be interesting to anyone?
For non-US people, you could buy the case from Unicomp and have it shipped to me. I could then place the raw PCB into the Unicomp package and re-ship it to you.
- Ron | samwisekoi
Wouldn't that case be really odd fitting due to the curved backplate though?I tested it with a 60% board and some SA keycaps.
Kewl. What controller does it use?
Teensy++. I needed the pins for the big ol' matrix.
- Holes and pads - but no circuits - for LEDs in all positions.
To be clear, there's holes for the leds but the leds are not connected to the teensy. So, if I wanted leds, I would have to somehow wire them up, right?

Wow, I didn't even notice that... but I think we are only seeing a few layers of the entire PCB. I doubt sam would bother cutting holes for LEDs and not connect them back to the controller.
Honestly, I would like to see the extraneous LED holes and pads removed, to bring the price down. But I'll buy one anyway.
Those LED holes don't add cost, and they are tiny, so they don't interfere with trace runs.

Wow. Any idea, roughly, what such a sandwich case would cost?
Looking good.
Is it possible to make some of the macro-keys on left side/up 2x size? Maybe also delete key?
Top left should be cause I can see the stab mounts (if I interpretate them right)
Upper-left corner is for a pair of (optional) 2x keys. The bank on the left is not. If that is exciting to someone I can easily add that capability.
if backlighting is too hard to make, could I use LED strips?
Probably not. At best you will get lighting on the sides of the case, but not from the keys themselves.
However, I am not the best guy to answer LED questions, since I don't use them.
questions about buying.More
I like it. Will also take diodes, so I don't need to get them from somewhere.
Are you also selling (eventually from previous groupBuys) some pcbs/keycaps/stabs/this tool to easy change switch springs?
Fine for diodes; remember to tell me later (when I ask.) I am absolutely not offering anything besides the PCB at this point.
And maybe a kit to add backlighting to this (assuming I am able to do the main part without problems)?
Again, not my thing.
Also looking to get a matrix-board pcb/gh 36/ergodox/Atomic or WhiteFox..
Just curious, if you have something in stock ;)
I have no stock, but keep an eye on the GH-36 thread, as I may be having more of those made.
--
if you are fine with keeping it for a few month - shipping on time (around 2-3 weeks time to arrive in NY) is not a problem i assume, or?
Shall I pay now or only before flying to New York? (im fine with both)
Pay when I ask for payment.
Whats about the plate? I assume it isn't bent so should I get these sculpted keycaps for? Otherwise I will use normal ones
The PCB is flat.
Would the PCB be mounted to the case in any way or would it be the type that is held in suspension by the switches and the switch plate?
Got some prices back. A single custom plate is $80-100; less with volume. The price is pretty much the same for SS or Acrylic. And what adds cost is cutting time, so a plate of any configuration is around $100. From there you can build a sandwich case, or make a plate-mount in an empty Unicomp PC-122 case.
Or you could make the plate a little larger, bend it a few times, and do a bent-plate case.
This is the least expensive option, and it seems to go with the design, in an industrial 1950's kind of way. Add a beige crinkle-finish powder coat and some sides and some Nuclear Data keycaps, and you've got a big-ass Cold War keyboard.

Yes. Are you in?
ALPS, on the other hand makes the bottom row and the ISO Enter block really hard. Unlike Cherry, ALPS has both leads in a line, so multi-position spacing has fatal conflicts. So no ALPS on a multi-layout board. Sorry. (I could make the fixed 1.00 positions ALPS-compatible, if that helps any.)

with the added left- Arrow cluster:You could make ctrl and alt 1.25u each, with a .75u gap between ctrl and right arrow, but I don't think you can do 1.5 for both. You can do a 1.5u alt and a 1u ctrl.

Or is 1.75u possible/Whats the possibilitys for CTRL/ALT?

Everyone else: there is still time to add yourself to the list!
- Ron | samwisekoi
If nothing else, I like that the success of this project shows there's clear demand for bigger boards. I'm so sick of the trend of SSK-size, leading to 75%, 60%, 40%, and "Well, I can only type half the alphabet without using a modifier but it fits into a pocket of my skinny jeans"
You're only No. 14 on your own purchase list? Waiting for someone else before you feel confident in signing on? :)
Does the Teensy mount on the bottom or the top of the PCB? I'm mainly asking in regards to accessing the reset button for flashing.
As long as the PCB fits a Unicomp 122 key rubber dome case you can count me in for a PCB and maybe a plate if you end up making them.
Can you ship to France? If yes, any idea how much shipping would be?

I can't say for sure about that case. I am trying to make it fit the Unicomp PC-122 B/S case, but I won't know if I succeeded untilI have the PCBs in hand.
Regarding shipping, I can ship anywhere -- but paying for shipping, insurance, and Customs will be your responsibility. I'll try to estimate shipping cost to Europe this week.

The important thing is the spacing between the blocks. On the Unicomp PC-122, the spacing is 0.330" (8.38mm), and so the PCB has that spacing. (Actually, I used 0.340, 0.330, and 0.330" so they sum to 1.00".)
Anyhow, if you can measure the physical width of each of the three bars between the key blocks, I can tell you if they are the same on my empty PC-122 B/S case. If that was a confusing request, let me know and I'll post a picture of what I need to know.
(Or, I suppose someone could just send Unicomp an e-mail and ask.)

Except for the missing LED holes, that looks identical to my B/S version. I think you're good.

Use the LED wizard I put in my parts list post. The Teensy is 5v. Each circuit has a single LED. And those LEDs probably do not all have the same electrical values. Pin separation of 2.54mm (0.10") is fine.

Ron,
Been following this project since the beginning. It's been so awesome to see everything come to fruition and all the input and help from the community in creating this behemoth of a board!
I have to ask for you to post some pics of the current one you are typing on!
Keep up the awesome work, it's been great seeing/reading the updates
Every update makes me want this keyboard more :,(
If somebody wants my spot PM me.
Hey giant keyboard fans! Typing this from the testing keyboard, currently almost up and running. Metalliqaz and I have been chasing down firmware for this big old board for the past year and/or week. As it sits today, everything except ONE DAMN COLUMN works! (The problem column contains Numpad 5.) We're trying hardware and software fixes every day, and are getting close. Close, but no cigar. (Huge thanks to Metalliqaz!)
Also, I've got a pretty good caseless solution going. Good enough to use for testing, anyhow. There is a potato pic on my Instagram, with more to follow -- probably more often than posted here.
This board turns out to be pretty sweet to use, so I expect there will be a second run. Assuming enough people want one, etc. In the meantime, here is how I'd like to do "trades":
If, to pick a random example, when I ask SpAmRaY for his shipping address, if he gives me an address that includes the real person name associated with, for example, tjweir, I'll ship it as requested, and I won't have to do anything about list management. I'll just ship boards to places that people want them shipped.
Okay?
Anyhow, best regards from the only working GH-122 in existence.

The good news, bug #1, and how to watch testing in real time.
The Good News:
It fits into the Unicomp PC-122 Case! Yay!
Bug #1:
The pads for the ISO Enter are 0.094" offset to the left. I've already fixed this for any next run AND it can be fixed for these boards. ANSI is fine, but the fix to this rev is a one-way street, and once modded for ISO, ANSI will be a problem.
Once I mod mine for ISO Enter, I'll mod anyone else's as desired.
Follow Testing in Real Time:
I'll be posting photos to Instagram way more often than here, so follow me there if you want to watch in real time:

Can it be giant keyboard time now? :eek: :p
Is there anyone on the current list who wants or needs an ISO Enter key instead?
Can it be giant keyboard time now? :eek: :p
Yes. This morning Metalliqaz and I have achieved 100% functionality. I have built a complete configuration and am using the GH-122 for at least a full day to make sure it is solid. At some point I will do a test install in the Unicomp PC-122 case, but I think that will be fine. The Swill "case" is working for me, although it is very muted. (Browns with PBT keycaps sound like rain drops when I type.)
Anyhow, I am going to pound on this and then finalize the R1 mods that I will do before shipping each board.
FYI, at the moment I am using this with an ANSI Enter key. Is there anyone on the current list who wants or needs an ISO Enter key instead?
Thanks and best regards,

I assume the mainline version of EasyAVR now has the wrong matrix for the new boards and will have to be updated, correct?
I work at a company that constantly makes its own PCBs so i understand not wanting faulty PCBs out there as it causes confusion amongst customers and also you as the developer will be forced to support it, and plainly its just annoying.
I have a few suggestions
1. If you have a YouTube channel, you can use one as a demo in how to fix traces from design to actual hardware
2. Buy one of those big picture frames and frame it and auction it off as Art. Spray paint it even!
3. Cut it down and coat it in transparent vinyl and use it as a mousepad.

p.s. I totally want at least two SS plates. ISO Enter keys and 1.50 bottom rows for me!
The shop I work worth has raised their MOQ since my last GB. At a to-the-shop cost of $32, ten (identical) plates, alone isn't enough. Twenty might be. Or ten bent-metal (already bent so shipping might be a tad complicated) case-plates, or about twelve (identical) swill-style SS cases. Ten would not meet MOQ.
We could lower MOQ by increasing price, of course ... better sanding by the shop, stuff like that.
Last quote I got was in March, so I'm sure prices have changed but it should be in that vicinity ... from me / the shop I dealt with before.
AKmalamute, is the minimum order in dollars? Could we get them to do a single order with 10 ANSI switch plates, 5 ISO switch plates, and 15 base plates (for example)?
First Ivan, now Sam/Ron....
I'm really starting to think that all the older GH guys are just wanting to scam me and take off with my money...
:'( :'( :'( :'(

Yeah it seems like you all got your PCBs, and that I'm the only one who's PCBless.
But thanks for the support

I'm also waiting for a PCB.
Ron is not one to bail on an obligation in my experience. He loves to take on many ambitious projects, so I'm sure he is simply overwhelmed (he also owns a business), but I'm not worried that he has truly run off with our money. That's just my personal opinion though, and we will have to wait to see what happens unfortunately.
OK, I just read the thread a bit, and let me HUMBLY APOLOGIZE! I have not run off with anyone's money, but I did have 7 PCBs on my shelf unshipped. As of this minute they are in labeled boxes on my shipping bench waiting for the postman to come in the morning. This does indeed include one headed for France, which I could grab and re-direct.
Thank you Mr. HoffmanMyster for the kind words.
And again, please accept my sincere apologies.

Damn I really want to get a case like that now
Any chance of another round in the future? I dont mean to bother you but I'm just super interested :D. Have a nice holiday.
Got my PCB today, and it's huge. Can't wait to start putting it together! :p
Thanks for all your work on it :thumb:

Awesome! Thanks for letting me know. Good luck, and thank you for the wake-up call a few weeks ago.

(Auto-typed by my GH36 Matrix Keypad.)
So does anyone have any advice on how to get the GH-122 to fit the curve/angle of the Unicomp 122 case?
For the 2017 version: will Unsaver- style be supported?
(so cutting off the numpad - similar to the F key block as you described above)
great!
Another feature which would be interesting: make the numpad choppable, and this could then be connected via some sort of plug (preferrably jumper some pins to an socket of ones liking)
This could be interesting for nearly every switch block of the board.....
btw: whats about split spacebars??

Necro resurrection.
I finally got around to temp finishing my Rev 1 GH-122. I say temp finished cause I haven't gotten the case yet, just using screws along the top / bottom edges as stand offs. Costar stabs (had to make the 7x wire for the spacebar), 100% cherry green switches. Num / Scroll / Caps lock keys are green LED backlit as well.

Excellent! Really captures the 'nuclear control center' vibe :thumb:

Another round?
I am, but I don't remember if I mapped the boot function to anything. Assuming I did, what should I expect it to do?As I recall, that's the software equivalent of flipping the 'reset' switch ... so you can re-up the firmware/layout without cracking it open to find the hardware reset button.
