$11 for upto 4, $8 thereafter. Remember, I still have to add cost of bolts and nuts, PayPal and shipping fees, along with compensation for my time, total comes out to be $20 for less than 4 and $17.5 for more than that.

Just to break down the prices:

Price of case: $7.50 (Minor Price drop)
Bolts/Nuts: $2.00
Shipping: $2.5 (Since I will now bulk ship to Flying Racoon)
My Fees: $0.00 (I thought since it is a prototype, it isn't fair to ask for my fees since everyone is taking a minor risk)
Total: 12
After Paypal Fees: $12.77

Might as well call it $13 ;)

And $6 for the PCB. So we are up to $19 not including shipping or parts. Not bad!

And the parts list is on Github. If anyone wants to help me deceiver it and possible make a Mouser parts list, that would be  very helpful.

Got the proto for TFR cut today and nuts/bolts packed as well.

The case with the feet:
36013-0 36015-1 36017-2

The case without the feet:
36019-3 36021-4 36025-5

I love these dome nuts:
36023-6

The layers:
36027-7

All nuts/bolts packed:
36029-8

Contents of each pack:
36031-9
7 M3 dome nuts
7 M3x16mm socket hex bolts
5 M3x25mm socket hex bolts
So you can choose to have the feet or not and 2 extras of each, so just incase the threads go bad on any of them.

The case kit:
36033-10

Depends on the table top surface. On a smooth one I suppose it would, I use a giant razer mousepad on my table, so I couldn't tell.

Yeah the controller is $6 and the other parts could be up to $15. So we are looking at $6 PCB + $13 case + $6 controller + $15 parts + $5 shipping. So ~$45. Of course that is just an estimate, it could be cheaper.

Here is what I have so far from Digikey. Not sure if it's 100% correct though.

I couldn't find or need clarification on DC1, DF2, DF3, R4, RF1, RF2, RF3, S0, and X1

DC1, DF2, DF3 - Any ~1.8V LED around 3mm would be fine

Looks like those should work.

TFR, the only thing on your list I'm not sure of is the diodes. Are those size 0805?

I have a bunch of 100ohm resistors and some red LEDs, will that work? I have enough for all 10 PCBs. I'm not certain on the crystal, regack will have to confirm that. I'm pretty sure that button wouldn't work though, the footprint isn't the right size. Also, they're expensive, something cheaper should work the same.

I don't know to be honest, there were so many options! Here is the diode I used. Digikey link

UPDATE
MOZ is willing to include cheap MX Blue switches from a TVS Gold for people who got in on the first 10 PCBs. They are ~$0.35 each so $7.70 for a set of switches. Post here if you are interested!

What is the power rating on the LEDs? Footprint is the correct size, I just double-checked. Agreed on the pricing.

I don't need switches either. Dudes, this is all very cool. Can't believe how fast you put it all together.

Edit: MOZ, on second thought, I will take some switches if you don't mind. I just realized I had already made plans for the switches I have already. You can add me to the switches list.

What colour LEDs are you ordering for the set? I might be thinking of picking up my own LEDs as I might want a different colour.

This is simply the prototype run and only ten sets were ordered. At this point in time all spots have been filled.

X1 - This I think? Someone can confirm: http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/7M-16.000MAAJ-T/887-1125-1-ND/2119014

S0: http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/ADTSMW69NVTR/679-2392-6-ND/2344206

I was looking for that ASX3F crystal and found komar's response earlier this year:


EDIT: Where did you source your ASX3F?  I'm having issues finding a supplier.
Unfortunately in a local shop.
Please try to find anything of similar size and footprint.
I'm attaching the datasheet: (Attachment Link) .

EDIT: I think these should be fine.

There was a datasheet in there to compare, and so...

X1: Basically, it looks like MOZ has found something that will work just fine.  The footprint is essentially the same (maybe .02mm difference)

S0: I used an ADTSJW65RV from mouser on a differnt board, the footprint isn't exact, but it's close enough.  Looking at footprint in the spec sheet for the one MOZ found should work fine, it fits within the pad locations.


DC1, DF1, DF2, DF3 are all 3mm LEDs, preferably with no lip.  I have quite a few varieties at home already, I dunno, this is kind of up to each person...
R4, RF1, RF2, RF3 are all through-hole resistors that need to be sized based on the LEDs.

If you've got 1mA, 1.8v LEDs, you'll want like a .25w 330Ohm resistors...

This calculator is a great resource: http://led.linear1.org/led.wiz

Go ahead and put me in for MX Blues... Thanks!

Good, so we are on track as far as components are concerned. I think we can omit the resistors and LEDs, since it is a personal choice and completely optional. I've put you up for those switches regack.

If I understand correctly, from your post on the 40% threads, we are testing both this and that together? So we can essentially double our order (Based on how many protos we do for the 40%), and I want , in, please!

Do we need a case for that, if yes, I can without a doubt help, I actually do have a case ready, the "Pencil Case", I got the magnets (For keeping KB and cover attached while in transit) already, they arrived a couple of days back.

Can someone confirm if we can use this switch: http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/MJTPSMWBTR/679-2461-1-ND/2344177

Should save each one a dollar.

It looks ok.  As long as the leads fit on the PCB pads - which are: length 6-12mm / width 3-5mm

So where do the four LEDs go on this prototype? I am assuming one will be for numlock, but I'm unsure about the other three...?

I see that you have four LEDs at the top for you universal version... I just wondered where they go specifically on this first version that TFR has already ordered. Thanks
I stay busy with work and family these days, but I'm still around, lurking.

Same positions.

... and I just noticed this morning that I have three of the through-hole resistors for the LEDs on the top of the board instead of the bottom... at least I don't have to move any of the traces to fix that.  The one pin on switch 5 and 21 is kind of hosed...    :'(

Does someone want to double check the parts list?

Shipping is $5.32 so total cost is $10.22 a set. This does not include diodes or LEDs. If you don't have them already, I have plenty of red LEDs and various resistors.

Rough Cost Estimate
$6 - PCB
$13 - case
$10.22 - parts
$5 - shipping
= $35 estimated total

I'd probably need the diodes as I don't have a ready supply of electronics components. What size LEDs would you need? I might need to look around to see if I can find purple LEDs...

You would need 3mm round LEDs or 2x3x4mm square LEDs.

I don't really have any diodes laying around.. :(

Ok, here's what we'll do. Everyone in the first round needs to tell me what color LEDs they want. If you already have LEDs, you can opt out. I can order the LEDs and resistors then ship them with the rest of the parts.

I'm confused. Are you talking about diodes, or resistors? Cause in the post with the part info, you say how there is no diodes included, but in the screenshot, I see 500 diodes. No resistors/LED's.  :-\

I could be really dumb right now and not know what I'm talking about.. I'm tired.

also if it's still wanted, I'd like white LED's.

Purple LEDs. Just thought I'd put it in here just for reference.
