Good evening, during this time of being stuck in the house and with my Polaris no where to be seen, I made an impulse purchase of a beautiful olive Matrix 1.2og. I learned that Matrix does not make replacement PCBs and although I am getting a brand new PCB with it, I fear the day where I find out my PCB is dead.

In order to combat this, I've decided to enlist the help of PCB guru Ender to create a PCB that can be a drop in replacement for the 1.2og. When my Matrix arrives, I will be shipping it directly to him so he can begin work on it.

TLDR: I'm getting replacement 1.2og PCBs made

Drop in for 1.2og
Designed by Ender
ESD protection
QMK compat and possibly VIA
Maybe FR4 plates if people want them?

Fill out IC form so you can give me feedback on what y'all want.

I am definitely in for one, but in the meantime, does anyone have a cheat sheet for the stock 1.2 pcb LED controls? I've figured most of it, (pause + tab) as well as changing speed and colors, but can't seem to get a static color. Any help is appreciated!

Any thoughts on offering a silicon pad that fits between place/pcb, similar to the 2.0 Add?

Sorry, I don't want to have too many things going on at the same time.

We're already offering PCB, daughterboard (acrylic diffuser, rubber gasket thing around lights), more individual parts may increase lead time or cause delays.

Prototypes will be shipping to me in the next few days.

In the meanwhile, here is the LED daughterboard in action, they can be set very bright

PCB received, sending my Matrix off to get built (I don't trust myself).

I tested it out of the box and was functioning properly, cross checked placement of everything with the original PCB I have and it matched up.

Pictures of PCB (final PCB tbd: I want it to be black, but green is classic)

Light bar comparison

New light bar placed on top of proto PCB

Nude PCB front

Nude PCB back

There are several things left to do before we can start GB on this, once prototype PCB is built, things should fall into place quickly.

Additionally, I am looking for someone with an AbelX in the CONUS who is willing to test this PCB (I heard that this PCB fits the Abel), DM me here or on Discord Hoodrow Thrillson#6850.

I should have my board back in my hands next weekend (just finished moving into my new apartment).

Talking with Upas to get this up and going, but he is a very busy guy.

Excited for this! Also, probably the wrong place to ask, but does anyone know all the default LED lighting controls? Just received and all I've figured out is that tab+pause is how to change the patterns.

Edit: Figured out a bit more, pause+1 or 2 changes colors for the led pattern that has two "beams" moving around. For the pattern that has 4 colors of beams moving around, pause+1,2,3,4 control those colors. Light bar seems to react to tab+q, w, e, r, but not sure what these 4 key combinations do.

Edit 2: Pause+s controls speed. It cycles through speed options and then wraps back around.

Edit 3: Pause+c controls color for the patter than consists of the led pattern that moves from left to right. Who would have thought.

Edit 4: Pause+n controls "length" of the led pattern that moves from left to right.

Wondering if there are any updates on this as well. I've been following/lurking this thread for a while, but I'm worried that the project is dead.

Right now, Ender and I need to put all our files together and send it to Upas. We have it scattered across 2 different group chats and we're both busy but this is just to let y'all know that we still intend to get this going.

Sorry it's taking so long, I won't give excuses as they aren't really necessary.

Thanks for pushing this forward! I love how my 1.2og sounds and feels, but since I can't program it, I was using it way less than I would normally do.

I did consider 2.0add but that one is a tough one to get done.

I did hear that H87 technically fits but will need some modification.

I measured the spacing between left arrow and right control and it's shorter on 2.0 than H88. I don't have H87 but I would assume the spacing is the same on H88 and H87. All Matrix TKLs have the same slightly shorter spacing

ah yeah you are totally right. I actually measured on 1st gen Abel and it is shorter. I just placed 2.0add plate over Jane v2 CE and the spacing is identical. 1.2 OG spacing is the same as 2.0add.

Welp - I got my original 1.2og pcb repaired (it just died one day for no apparent reason). Worked fine again for half a day when I got it back from being repaired, then the same thing happened - just died.

I think this pcb has some real issues man, it needs to go see a counsellor or something.

Can't wait for the replacement!

I think this pcb has some real issues man, it needs to go see a counsellor or something.

Can't wait for the replacement!


Man, I feel bad just reading this lol. I have a spare desoldered PCB and brand new light bar that's yours if you just pay shipping if you needed it

Welp - I got my original 1.2og pcb repaired (it just died one day for no apparent reason). Worked fine again for half a day when I got it back from being repaired, then the same thing happened - just died.

I have a spare PCB if you want Petrov. Oh, I just saw aadk5's post.

What are your plans for ground pour? The original green didn’t have any and sounds much different/nicer than the white one w a full ground pour?

My PCB is dead. Should I wait for this or keep bothering Albertzzz on the matrix discord to sell me a replacement PCB?

Upas told me that he'll have time to dive into this once his keyboard GBs are complete (so in a week or so).

I mean, honestly, if I were in your position, it would depend on how often you use your 1.2og. I haven't touched mine since I got my 2.0add. If you're really itching to get yours rebuilt, then I would keep bothering poor Albert.

I'll make sure that it's a thing.

I really want to try PC half/full on this board, it would probably sound pretty damn good.

There were some questions posed about the 1.2og pcb working in AbelX. I am currently using a 1.2og yellow pcb in my abelx, albeit there are some caveats.
- For alphas everything is fine
- For tkl cluster (arrows, print screen/delete etc) spacing is off
- I had to cut and trim the pegs in switches to make them fit, but it works
- Mini-USB port sits further back on 1.2og pcb compared to the abelx pcb, which extends the mini-usb port out about 1cm. Usb ports align, however, which means if you have a small cable it works fine.

258795-0

I would not recommend doing this, but if you are in a pinch and want to use your abelx, a 1.2og pcb will work...sort of

Hope this helps, and gives some closure to the issue.

258797-1

edit: I figured it was obvious, but without some janky hand wiring the leds will not work...as there are none on the board.

Got any status update on the project? Really excited to rebuild my 1.2  :thumb:
Btw, if you need files for the half-plates just let me know. I could only find the files for full plate, so I had to make it from that.
