Title: [IC] 60% PCB with arrow cluster NEW Layout (GB thread link inside!)
Post by: yasintahir on Mon, 21 November 2016, 22:36:23
---UPDATE 3---
GB THREAD :
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=87511.0

---UPDATE 2---
Don't forget to vote pcb color and plate option  :p
https://goo.gl/forms/VWoRxca2NuBCtyAB2

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So guys after talk to leeku here's the final layout for this pcb and it will be support universal 60% case but some layout lose 1 bottom screw
(http://i.imgur.com/x7CnBwz.jpg)

PCB will be designed by leeku
-Fully programmable
-Underglow Led
-controller use Atmega 32a
-Use L3 firmware like other leeku PCB

Price for PCB $55 (presoldered)
Plate $30 for alu/ss and $35 or $40 for brass

--- UPDATE 1---
after i contacted leeku to check if he can do 8 bottom combination r5 option, he said still working on it and not be sure until he arrange it... so to make plan B if he can't put 8 option R5 in this PCB i'm taking poll to see which bottom option you interest for this PCB. It will help me to see which option with most interest for this pcb, so that option with most interest will be put in plan B. And for people who want make it mx/alps PCB sure it will help with less option to make mx/alps PCB.
So please vote which option you're interest :)
Thanks!

When this size will still fit 60% standard case, that gap on the bottom row will be the enemy since blocker only come in 1u I belive.

But it just me, really.

yea.. i still wait confirmation from leeku he said its need give up couple of bottom combination.
i will update again the layout after i got reply from leeku

Hell yeah!

Would prefer a closer to standard, unsymmetrical but more uniform,
(1.25 blocked) -1.25 -1.25 -6.25 -1.25 -1 -1 -1
bottom row option tbh.

I'm good either way tho, really...

I don't need dedicated arrows on a 60% but I gotta say this is probably the best possible solution.

I'd like a 1800-like bottom row, with vim-like arrows. Moving the right shift will make our life miserable.

The blocked/white areas on the hhkb actually aren't symmetrical tho. :)

In Addition this layout would give you more blocker space and therefore be closer to hhkb looks imho.

Just my opinion tbh but this has been debated in multiple threads and there is always people that prefer the symmetrical approach vs people who prefer the more standard layout with a more uniform bottom row.

Edit:
Does the pcb have enough room left to support layout A with 1.25 left ctrl and alt?
That's pretty much the only change required to my ideal layout.

Ouch :-) that's a shame.
Maybe losing one screw on a total of six isn't so important? I'd try to remove one screw from my poker, if it wasn't at home...
Accepting to lose one screw, could open the way to a number of new and original layouts, and this could expand the interest in this pcb.
Will this be iso compatible?

i think it's acceptable with pcb i can change to it, but for plate i think we need more less 5 quantity for 1 layout

that's layout look like Type E without blocked on bottom row, if it's easy to find 1u shift keycap i will try to make another bottom combination from that layout.. or if u want i can just add iso enter option ;)

Very cool! I like Type B most as a short-term thing, but I'd be interested in something like Type E with a little different bottom row. The spacebar is too far to the right in my opinion, I'd rather have it centered.

This is a good start, but what I have in mind is something more like this:

[attachimg=1]

Symmetrical gaps towards the sides and allows for 5-7 thumbkeys.

thats a good layout but getting 3u stab and wire its really hard and of course 3u caps is a problem too xD

Post by: childofthehorn on Fri, 02 December 2016, 11:55:38
Type A would be near perfect for me if it allowed for a split spacebar honestly!

2.75u, 1.25u, 2.25u in the spacebar would work pretty well, even with some obscure sets and very possible to find on SP in Row 3 for SA anyway.
Title: Re: [IC] 60% PCB with arrow key (support universal 60% case)
Post by: Giorgio on Fri, 02 December 2016, 11:59:08
Still I think that a bigger liberty in the button row, by removing one screw, could be a big plus, attracting more users.

Well if there was an option to replace the 3u spacebar with two 1.5u keys, that would be fine with me as well.

I would suggest at looking at the newest revision of the GH60 SATAN as a reference. It has QMK/TMK support + it has arrows on it. People refer to it as the "XD60" right now for the arrow version. Just a reference but I hope you figure this project out :). Looks exciting! The "HHKB" versions look interesting and I'd love to see an offer for a custom case.

In any case, good luck!

imo i dont like xd60 style because no "/ ?" key we can remap it to another position but i dont like unstandard alpha so if this project still happen i will keep hhkb style maybe just more bottom row combination.

and jchan if u want make custom case for this project it's will be great  ;D

Haha, yeah I definitely need the "/ ?". It's a pretty important key. Funky! I'm just thinking that the GH60 can be used as a base. Just add the extra compatibility / change the bottom row to fit this :D

Post by: kmba on Wed, 04 January 2017, 00:46:22
I really think the ultimate 60% with arrows allow for 6 keys on the bottom row aside from the arrows and space.  Personally if I could get left control, left alt, left win, right control, right alt, and a function key in there somewhere (anywhere), it would be awesome.  D allows for that, but with a small space, which isn't optimal.  I would sacrifice and go with a non-standard arrow key layout (up arrow on the right of the right shift, move all arrows keys to far right) in order to fit extra keys on r4.

sure that's possible to add standard r_shift, but this main purpose is 60% + arrow cluster right?

No soldering is required for 1.5mm switch pin holes, but I forgot the size for compatible LED pin holes.

Some more questions:

1. Will the PCB be supporting only MX switches? By any chance it can be made to support also Alps switches?

2. Will there be any (Korean?) keyboard makers interested in creating blocked-corner cases that support this awesome layout?

Thanks.

It's perhaps one of the most effortless arrow cluster implementations on a 60%.
If Leeku is going to create it, this PCB definitely deserve an IC/GB of some proper Korean custom case.

1. Will the PCB be supporting only MX switches? By any chance it can be made to support also Alps switches?

2. Will there be any (Korean?) keyboard makers interested in creating blocked-corner cases that support this awesome layout?

Thanks.

already ask to leeku about the pin hole size, now we wait him to reply ;)

and for your another question :
1. Yes for now it will be for cherry mx only
2. Idk about blocked-corner but if u scroll up jchan said would make custom cases for this pcb  ;D

EDIT : it's 1,6mm pin hole size

No ISO compatibility? It's a deal breaker for me.

It's compatible... here's the final layout compability for this pcb but some layout lose 1 bottom screw for 60% case
and idk i will keep doing this project or not  :(

Wow! this could be the most flexible 60 layout ever.

already ask leeku about last final layout concept, if he said it possible to make yes it's become most flexible layout ever !  :p

With arrow keys and such bottom role support, if completed with a Korean case... This is definitely my 60% endgame.

Already talk to leeku here's the final layout for this pcb
(http://imgur.com/v3pEXel.jpg)
Maybe some or all bottom combination lose 1 screw for universal case

price for pcb $55 (presoldered)
plate alu/steel $30 and $35 or $40 for brass

Start to make GB thread soon  ;D

Based on the render a bottom row with


1.5-1.5-6.25-1.25-arrows is also feasible, right?

Ah sorry i should give some combination because 8 combination too much in 1 pcb, hope u still interest with other one  ;)

Edit : u can still use 7u spacebar using 6,25 pin hole... and bottom row should be 1.25-1.25-7-1-arrow but u need to make custom plate it self

Based on the render a bottom row with

1.5-1.5-6.25-1.25-arrows is also feasible, right?

hmmm i think its 1.5-1.5-6-1.25

Hopefully we can still use this 8 bottom combination

with this many bottom combination? it's seems really hard but i will ask leeku after get final layout from him and if possible we will go with mx/alps pcb to get more interest.

I see you have the split spacebar option.
Have you thought of replacing it with the options from m65 or exent?
Or even better make sure of the 2u from the numpad.

Glad u notice that, i never use split spacebar before XD
so if we do like other split spacebar default that should be 1-1-1-2.25-1.25-2.75-1.25-arrow keys

i will keep support 7u spacebar
here's bottom option i give to leeku to check
(http://i.imgur.com/TxRhimp.jpg)

--- UPDATE---
after i contacted leeku to check if he can do 8 bottom combination r5 option, he said still working on it and not be sure until he arrange it... so to make plan B if he can't put 8 option R5 in this PCB i'm taking poll to see which bottom option you interest for this PCB. It will help me to see which option with most interest for this pcb, so that option with most interest will be put in plan B. And for people who want make it mx/alps PCB sure it will help with less option to make mx/alps PCB.
So please vote which option you're interest :)
Thanks!

Current Poll results shows interest in the layouts featuring 6.25 and 3 units space bars; however, I wonder if 3u space bars are available some where.

Personally, I am interested mostly in 6.25 and 6 unit space bars support, but would take a PCB with split space bars for future experimentation.

Edit: I like the 7u space bar but I do not see a need for one in a layout whose main focus is to provide space for arrows and alternate layouts with split space bars.

Filco Minila uses 'OEM' profile caps.
It's possible, but 6.25/7 and 6 are much more common and supported by most key sets, not the case for 3u space bar, e.g. any GMK set support 3u space bar?
The 2.25 + 1.25 + 2.75 are also smart move because of the 2.25 and 2.75 shift keys.
In the long run, 2.25 and 2.75 caps with real space bar profile are preferred.

I really want to see more 60% board / case with arrow cluster, e.g. like the HHKB JP version.

There is no 3u GMK space bar available, as far as I know. There is only support for 2.25 and 2.75 unit space bars at GMK. Most sets offer support for the classic 6, 6.25 and 7 u space bars, of course.

But I can't even think of a single GMK set that has 2.25u and/or 2.75u space bar even provided as an option (not talking about the R4 profile).

Still I have no idea why this pcb doesn't have a full length bottom row, and chooses instead a shorter hhkb bottom row  :)) aesthetics I suppose.

It's difficult to deal with the 0.75u spaces on both sides.
The L_Shift (2.25u) and R_Shift (1.75u) on the row above remain to be some of those more available Shift units.
HHKB JP has 2 sensible 0.25u dividers on the bottom role.

All these 60% boards with arrow clusters have their smart solutions: 1u R_Shift (HHKB JP & Filco Minila), "Banana split" 60% PCB, and this one.
If I really have to choose one among them, I think this one has a more elegant solution in my opinion. I believe I would enjoy the larger R_Shift compared to the 1u R_Shift of Filco Minila and HHKB JP.

One thing I would like to add is the L_Shift split to have a 1u + 1.25 option, instead of just the usual 1.25u + 1u.

A Sixty PCB with arrows and split space bar is always an exercise on balancing usability, convenience and usage of standard key caps. We may not like the final result, but I think this one in particular is a great common ground that meets all the requirements elegantly. I like the Banana split, also; but, the small empty corners makes this one particularly good looking and the flexibility for using different space bar sizes is great to have.

1.5 1.5 6.25 1.25 arrows would be an awesome adition tho, since it seems to be one of the most popular choices.

Is it possible to do a split spacebar layout with this PCB but with no key in between the two spacebars? (instead of 2.25 - 1.25 - 2.75, have e.g 3.25 - 3 or 3 - 3.25)

If we can make this fit most standard 60% cases, this would be tits!

Congrats! it would be fit 60% universal case, just miss 1 bottom screw for some layout  :p

Wow! Great job.

Edit: Does the 6u bottom row feature the classic Cherry off centered switch position? If not it will not take any six units GMK space bar.

for 6u spacebar i will make it center and off stem option

------- update -----
i'm already talk with leeku about change 1 layout 1.25-1-1-1.25-3-1-1-1-arrow with 1.25-1-1-1.25-3-1.5-1.5-arrow to make it better with bottom hole screw for 60% universal case

Would this layout worth trying? Not sure if I should go the ISO route, this time. I may try it with Ergo Clears.

Is there an option for PCB mount(without a plate)?
Thanks.

I think it depends on the switches, doesn't it?
The 5-legged (1 center stud, 2 plastic legs and 2 metal pins) version of MX switches can be PCB mounted while the 3-legged (1 center stud and 2 metal pins only) can only be mounted to a plate. All Alps switches need a mounting plate to be installed.

sure... but your enemy when you use PCB mount is 0.75 blocker on bottom both side

---UPDATE 3---
GB THREAD :
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=87511.0

---UPDATE 2---
Don't forget to vote pcb color and plate option  :p
https://goo.gl/forms/VWoRxca2NuBCtyAB2

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So guys after talk to leeku here's the final layout for this pcb and it will be support universal 60% case but some layout lose 1 bottom screw
Show Image
(http://i.imgur.com/x7CnBwz.jpg)


PCB will be designed by leeku
-Fully programmable
-Underglow Led
-controller use Atmega 32a
-Use L3 firmware like other leeku PCB

Price for PCB $55 (presoldered)
Plate $30 for alu/ss and $35 or $40 for brass

--- UPDATE 1---
after i contacted leeku to check if he can do 8 bottom combination r5 option, he said still working on it and not be sure until he arrange it... so to make plan B if he can't put 8 option R5 in this PCB i'm taking poll to see which bottom option you interest for this PCB. It will help me to see which option with most interest for this pcb, so that option with most interest will be put in plan B. And for people who want make it mx/alps PCB sure it will help with less option to make mx/alps PCB.
So please vote which option you're interest :)
Thanks!

Just got around to seeing this now, but I really like this layout. I'd totally look at purchasing if you ever did a round 2
