What does an "extended USB port" mod entail for the KMAC rows in the spreadsheet?
What does an "extended USB port" mod entail for the KMAC rows in the spreadsheet?
I was told that the KMAC board(s) have a USB port that extends further out than a typical a.87 PCB. Someone may correct me if that's not true.
So far at 31 sold including 5 dedicated to an Australian vendor - more than halfway to MOQ. Very nice showing after only two days.
No physical reset switch - just short two pins on the PCB (for case compatibility)
QuoteNo physical reset switch - just short two pins on the PCB (for case compatibility)
Sorry for the dumb question, but does this mean I have to take the PCB out of the case to reflash it, or is there some sort of hotkey I can set up in qmk to put it into flash mode?
Not really well versed in qmk.
Has there been a GUI or something released yet for QMK besides https://config.qmk.fm?
Spare me the QMK evangelism please; I want to grab a couple of these before this closes, but I don't want to deal with QMK..

Unfortunately, no, there isn't anything yet.
This is also one of my biggest gripes with QMK -- I eventually found myself with enough QMK boards to make learning how to do everything "manually" worth it, but in most people's cases (yourself included) it's really much too complex. That being said, I think something is being worked on, but you'd need to inquire with folks like MechMerlin or Jack Humbert himself.
The QMK Configurator (linked) is pretty good, and h87a is on there. I need to work with mechmerlin to get more layouts for the board on. You pretty much click and drag the keys you want, where you want them.
The code itself is pretty clean as well, and is clean to compile and use as long as you're just replacing keys. If that's all you're trying to do you shouldn't run into issues.

Do you think this will work theoretically with the Jane v2?
With the final version/revision of this PCB, yes it will - yuktsi is supplying me with the Jane V2 PCB outline so I can adjust the h87a so it'll fit.Awesome! thanks

Just received invoice for 2 PCBs via the Southeast Asia Proxy for 50USD each. Before paying the invoice just want to check if this is the proxy pricing? Thanks!
I got quoted for $11 for conus shipping, is that normal?
I got quoted for $11 for conus shipping, is that normal?
Depends on how many you order - that should be normal for 2 PCBs. Note that's base shipping price (for one) + PP fee (described in the product listing) + additional price for second PCB packing/material/weight.
GB is officially closed. Pre order will open in a few days for $50/pcb. A limited number will be available (20-25 I think).Already regretting not getting one of these, will definitely be in for a pre-order.
Thank you everyone for supporting this project!

Regret not getting in on this. My Leeku is acting up. :'(There will be extras
May be a weird question, but I forgot to ask before I ordered: are the PCB-mount pin holes Cherry spec? I'm not sure if anyone's been adjusting them to fit the thicker Gateron/Zealio pins, but I'm planning on using Cherry PCB-mount and want a tight fit.
Also, do you know how thick the PCB will be?

I've tested the holes with Zealios and they're snug but the switches can be removed fine. Cherry PCB mount is a slight bit looser, but still snug.

Just FYI, the upcoming v2 switches from Zeal are supposed to have the slightly smaller Cherry-sized PCB mount pins.

I guess we are looking early-mid december shipping?
I think I may have to delay the pre-ordering until at least tomorrow (Thurs 10/25) because I'm waiting on some more info from my manufacturer for the money transfer.Cool. thanks for the info, will be on the lookout

The EU proxy doesn't appear to allow preorders (the GB page shows out of stock).
Hiney could you allocate some stock over there? I forgot about this GB and missed out during the buy period so would be nice to grab one of the preorders before I forget. Thanks!
Ordered!
I'm a little confused why my shipping cost was $8.55 to the US (Oregon) given in the OP it should be a lot less (even including Paypal's fee)...?
Damn! I might need one of these, are there any plans for future runs?You can still pre-order them on his website

Not exactly sure, but I expect to have them in 2-3 weeks.
I'll be out of town on a business trip from the end of November until Dec 6, I'm hoping they arrive during my trip so I can get to flashing/packing/shipping as soon as I return.
Just got confirmation that they shipped them today via DHL. They should arrive within the next week.

Only issues I've seen so far are a few of the 22ohm USB resistors touching, because I had the factory use them to replace the STF202 ESD chip I originally wanted to use. An easy fix for me. The chip caused a lot of issues with getting the PCB into bootloader mode, I think because it may be designed for USB 1.1 only? Not 100% sure. Regardless the PCBs work flawlessly without the chip, as long as the resistors aren't touching ;)

Sorry I don’t fully understand the issue. Are a few resistors touching on all the boards, but it’s not a big deal? Or, on a few boards, there are resistors touching, causing those boards to fail QC?

Looks like people will start receiving these today. I've redone my site and added a project page for the h87a, with default keymaps, links to .hex files, and other relevant info.
https://hineybush.com/h87a-project/
Just built a Keycult No. 1 with one of these PCBs tonight. I noticed that right shift is really sticky compared to the other stabilized keys. There's resistance on the way down and it doesn't spring back like normal. Is there something tricky about the stabilizers in that position? Maybe I gummed up them up with too much/thick lube. I'm using the clear Zeal stabs.
...
I think I know why.. The right shift and spacebar stabs are bi-directional (the stab wires can be in either north or south-facing direction) which makes the footprints slightly oblong. My best guess is the stab is loose in the mounts right now. You'd be able to fix this by loosening the stab screws slightly, pushing/pulling the stab in the wire/clip end's direction, and re-tightening the screws.

Anyone know how to enable the caps lock LED?
Anyone know how to enable the caps lock LED?
I've been meaning to add that to the project page on my site, check it out in the next few days.
To connect the caps lock LED, locate the jumper pads (three next to each other, would be either J1 or J2) and bridge the center pad to the pad with a dot next to it, or to the opposite pad to add it to the standard led backlight.
Note that I may have those pads backwards, I won't be able to check until tomorrow.

Can you clarify what you mean by "thinner?" I'd really like to buy one of these to put in a nerd tkl case, but the usb connector needs to be on the bottom side of the pcb to fit. This is literally the only thing stopping me from ordering one right now.

Group buys:
H87 round 2 ~$45 for 1.6mm, ~$50 for 1.2mm and alps (based on estimated order numbers)
h87a 1.6mm (regular) and 1.2mm (thinboi) versions. h87a 1.6mm will be red, 1.2mm will be matte black
h87alps - 1.6mm thick only. will be matte black.
Hineybush.com is down.
Whats the appeal of the thin PCB?
Dagnabit, you're quick! I'm redoing my whole personal project to match these PCBs instead of a custom one because of the amount of support you've shown with your products and your good communication with other creators.Hineybush.com is down.
Working on switching over to Shopify, hung up on squarespace not giving it up in the DNS lol
I'm a bit out of the loop, but neither the Alps PCB nor the thinner MX PCB GB has started yet, am I correct?
The new PCB design stuff is done. I plan to have pricing by the end of this week, and the next GB round will likely start this upcoming Monday (Mar. 11, 2019). It will run for ~3.5 weeks, ending Mar. 29, 2019. No proxies are set up at the moment, but I will be reaching out to vendors to see if any are interested in taking up some stock.Hey that's on my birthday. Nice! What are the new features and specs?

Differences from previous version:
- Fixed WKL winkey LED issue
- Changed RGB LEDs (2020 vs. 3535 on the old)
- Improved/redone routing
- Small tweaks etc. that don't really affect anything
- QMK will be the exact same as the first round
This time around I'll have three versions:
Normal (1.6mm, same as last round) which will be red
Thin (1.2mm, will add more flex etc) which will be matte black
Alps-only (1.6mm thick) which will have alps-only compatibility (WKL, ANSI, and AEK) - need to add bigass enter at this time. This one will be gloss black
In for a flexy boi
Any meaningful difference between the types of LEDs? Wondering what motivation you had to change it.

can someone highlight the differences between this PCB and the XD87 by kprepublic? Was ruminating on getting this for an alps tkl build for a while, then I came across the XD87 which apparently also supports alps. I see that this one uses QMK, which is awesome, but the XD87 being 12 dollars cheaper is definitely appealing to my literally empty wallet, especially if I'm considering buying two PCBs. and lastly, will the XD87 case work with this PCB? unsure of what bottom USB not top means and if it applies to the XD87 case, but if its something relatively easy that a dremel can solve, I'm okay with this. Hard pressed to find a cheaper tkl case anywhere, most of the compatible cases on the list are distant future end game cases at the moment.

There was an option for no pcb though.
Any chance you can make the pcb work with holtites? I recently got my hands on one and was disappointed to discover that they are loose and don't work :(
Only 2 days left!
I'm considering making the alps PCB 1.2mm thick instead of 1.6mm.
The 1.6mm Alps is a fair bit stiffer (10-20% I figure) than a 1.6mm MX - mainly because of the holes for the MX switches.
any thoughts?

Is there any advantage to it being thinner?
But alps are already paired with fr4 plates for the most part, so I'm not sure if 1.2mm would be too much flex, considering the plate and everything. But I'd be okay with either.

Update-
Still on track for mid-June delivery (to me at least). The blank PCBs are made, and assembly will start after the Chinese holiday. I have a vacation during the third week of June so if I get the PCBs in before then I obviously won't be able to ship many out. It may take a bit for fulfillment on these as there were a LOT of orders, but I can assure I'll get them out as quickly as I can.
Anyone know if the caps lock works in the default layer? That seems to be the only key that doesn't respond :rolleyes:

The vendors/GB runners who ordered the PCBs from me for their respective buys will be first priority for me, as they will have a longer ship time. I will likely start actually shipping individual orders ~June 24 or 25 because I'll be out of town a few times again between then and now - I know I know, June's just busy for me. I'll get these out as quickly as I can obviously, with a goal of having extras available ~July 8
Really hoping the extras won't be too limited, I'm holding off building a board and it hurts waiting for an extra
I'm waiting for the Alps PCB, do you have any news about when can you ship them out?
Started packaging/shipping. Will drop off the first orders from my site later today or tomorrow.
I decided to explain my shipping process a bit since I'm sure I'll get the "where is my shipping if you're shipping them" questions:
- Sort by "h87"/awaiting shipment/# of line items in ShipStation
- Start packaging the higher # of line item orders first (more complex/etc)
- As the # of line items decrease, the # of combinations increases. I then sort these out to like orders (example, if 3 orders have the same 4 items ordered)
- Pick/pack/label these as I go
- Drop off
This inevitably means I ship individual ones last, but those are the quickest and easiest to do since it's a matter of putting the single PCB in a box while packing. I can do a bunch at once this way to save time and effort.
Proxy/large order ones will go out later this week/early next, because I needed to order some larger boxes - I wasn't comfortable reusing the ones my fab shipped in bc 1. they're massive and 2. they're slightly beat up from the shipping
Sent out about half so far. I'll be taking a break til next week as I'll be out of town, so the rest won't ship until then. Due to that and me ordering a bunch of FR4 plates for Jane V1 and other boards it fits, I'll push back the extras to ~July 15. Just an extra week, I think that's all it'll take!

Okay, so I'm a bit late (as usual) and looking for a PCB+plate for my Jane v1. Besides the extras, will this have another round, and are you expecting to have plates made for the Jane v1?

All GB orders from my store (minus one that I'm holding on to for the time being) are packed and labeled. Will be picked up tomorrow.
Now to do a couple proxy/vendor orders.
Extras will likely be up later this week, will post here and on my Discord at least 24h in advance

Will the plates be up at the same time? Asking for my wallets sake.
The round 2 group buy extras will be live on my site only starting tomorrow, Monday July 22 at 7PM EST. I'm imposing a limit of how many you can order, 1 normal and 2 thin or alps per order just because I only have so many. Novelkeys will have plenty of stock though and should be getting them soon!Are plates going to be available at the same time?

All gone? Sucks to be euro...They were gone incredibly fast lol didn't matter US or Euro tbh
Same. But I didn't have the dough anyway.
These will go later on NovelKeys, won't they?

I'm sure it's already been asked but when are we going to see a USB C hiney board? I need an excuse to own this many USB C cables 😂

Hotswap adds an unnecessary amount of complexity to the PCB, and the people who would be buying this PCB would probably prefer to solder their finely tuned switches onto it anyway.

Hotswap is v possible in the future, we'll see
USB C may happen too, depends on if new stuff in the market dictates the necessity

Support for Via Configurator would be awesome...
Can you add support for beamspring switches?
This groupbuy has made me one happy boy.

Great pic, thanks! Looks like the right shift key stab mounts may be slightly on the outer limit of width based on the wire, would it make sense to narrow the distance between them a bit?

Yes. They are literally just a touch too wide. I ended up taking a razor to the stab mounts to make it fit just right. I also ended up bending a wire from an apple bus spacebar because I only had one right shift large enough. It might make sense to make them the same spacing as the others. I know some wires have a reverse bend and alot of boards use a shorter spacing on the right shift.
the pcb looks nice, just wondering how i get it into a programmable state?

There are two holes on the back that say reset above them. Bridge it with tweezers!

fn + R when you plug it in also triggers dfu(?) mode.

i wont be using QMK, have my own little fork of TMK.
I plan to do two buys VERY soon: h88ce (for Jane V2 CE and associated new designs - thin (1.2mm) only) and another h87a round (normal and thinboi) without RGB underglow LEDs populated in the aim to make the PCBs a bit cheaper (maybe $3-5 per).
Hi guys, I'm completely a newbie in Alps world, and currently planning to do a TKL Alps build with DCS Yuri keycaps from Drop.
Saw the info that DCS would need MX stabs. H87a would work well for my case, right? And what about plate? Where can I buy a plate for this build?

Hey! The currently available h87alps version (1.0) doesn't support Cherry PCB mount stabs but the next version will. As far as plate goes, you'd need one with plate mount MX stab holes. It depends on the case, but some cases have publically available plate files that you can download. If you find a plate file and need it edited drop me a line.

Thanks for the answer, Hiney! That means the incoming round 3 pcb will work for me, right? Then, I'll definitely grab one, and vote for the black color ;)
Is the purpose of these boards mostly to provide a versatile quality TKL PCB for people with really high end cases? I have not gotten past to part of this hobby where everything comes a s a kit (case, plate, PCB all together). What are people doing for a plate to go along with this? Does that depend on their case? I don't know how standardized this layout is.

This is for people who need a PCB for an older kit with a "bad" PCB, or they want more programmability. I sell FR4 plates for a few boards currently, but a lot of the time plates can be reused or their files can be found around the community for someone to have their own cut. A lot of newer TKLs are being designed around the PCB as well

It's meant to be a replacement PCB for cases that are compatible (listed here (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fZ8FtTGDl222hXnomQJgKmwRnWvg2VuoJ-GeAafVTLc/edit#gid=0)). Or for those that want QMK.
I am planning to open pre-orders in the next week or two. Trying to nail down the final color for the 1.6mm version - either gloss green (likely lighter than the proto pictured below), matte black (like round 1) or black FR4 + clear solder mask (see below):I'm running out of my extras this couldnt be better timed.

New features for h87a 1.7:
Redesigned/more robust snap-off parts (USB port, stab anchors around the spacebar area)
JST-SH 4-pin footprints
One for the USB port (daugtherboards can be directly connected now, no cable soldering)
One for an RGB daughterboard (in the area between the navkeys and arrows, or anywhere you'd like really)
A bypass to allow the RGB out from the MCU to be directly connected to the RGB daughterboard, instead of to the underglow (the first RGB LED would have to be removed in this instance)
Removal of the dedicated Reset pads, they are now incorporated into the 6-pin SPI header as the two pins exist there already
Improved ground plane via stitching to avoid needing to jump ground pads when the USB port is removed on previous versionsShow Image(https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/514878509412253696/635676411163836446/image0.jpg)
I plan to order the 1.2mm-thickness thinbois soon after these - likely 2-3 weeks after.

Yep, once I put them in stock they'll be available to pre order. I'm not doing a group buy, I'm going to be ordering a large amount tonight to have ready to ship in about 5 weeks. This will cut a month ish off of the total time needed to wait.

pre orders live now: https://hineybush.com/products/h87aGot two of them. Thanks!
limited number but hopefully enough to go around. I will have stock once the pcbs arrive and the preorders ship.
2 quick questions:
1. Did these arrive?
2. I think theres a hineybush discord, can someone link it?
Thank you!
When I type "hiney" out in my phone it now autocorrects to hineybush. You and T0mb3ry.
Does this mean that preorders for the 1.2mm version will start once those are shipped out?

Will these and the 1.2 be available at mykeyboard again eventually? How will that work, what's the timeline on that?1.6 yes i will ship to them next week. 1.2 are a bit down the line i will hopefully GB those starting in 2-3 weeks.

Is it possible to get some other plate options? Aluminum, PC, POM, or CF would be nice to see.
For h88, I think you meant to say Jane V2 CE in the OP.

Has anyone been able to access switchmod.net? Been getting a 403 error.
Does the h88 works on E8.5?no
Any chance of a Canadian vendor or shipping via USPS for future group buys?ApexKeyboards: https://www.apexkeyboards.ca/collections/keyboard-parts/products/h87a
Looks like the DHL option is going to end costing more for shipping than the actual PCB after customs / duties they charge.

Is C version available?
Alrighty, thanksAre there any of these pcb hot swap, or rgb?

There's h87c though currently out of stock. It sold via hineybush directly + 1upkeyboards as well.
Don't know of any hotswap or rgb ones though.
