that looks nice. clean and useful. Tell us how it feels after you type on it for a fortnight or so.
I I conceived a new layout (http://www.otd.kr/bbs/board.php?bo_table=pj_HHKB&wr_id=1919) for more convenience. And draw the board (http://www.otd.kr/bbs/board.php?bo_table=pj_HHKB&wr_id=1944).
Did you use Kicad for the Layout? Do you have a library for the Cherry Switches? Can you share that?
Thanks,
André

Awesome! I've long thought that if a keyboard is going to have staggered keys, that they should be symmetrically staggered, just as you have done. I'd love to give your keyboard a try.
Did you scavenge your stabilizer bars from another keyboard? If not, where did you get them? And what are the 4 pads below each key?
Have you assembled your keyboard with the new PCBs yet? Did you work out what to use for a controller? The teensy++ works well as a controller board.Show Image(http://www.pjrc.com/store/tpp_main_1.jpg) (http://www.pjrc.com/store/teensypp.html)
Just out of curiosity, what are the four pads below the center holes for each key?
I finished assemble. In this time I used an Aikon (remappable usb controller). Thanks for the information of the controller, teensy++.
Previous time, I miss-understood what you wrote. Yes as you wrote, each key has 4 pad (or terminal) two for diode and two for LED. Cherry switch has space for holding diode xor LED. Actually diodes are important part of the circuit, because I want to my keyboard have to be n-key rollover.
