Interest Checks / Re: [GB] Protagonist (60%) *Updated*
« Last post by sK0pe on Fri, 21 November 2025, 06:20:02 »
Some belated feedback, if you guys ever rerun Protagonist please do not use AllCaps as an OCE vendor.
I put in a premium order for the Protagonist through them.
The vendor took my money gave me updates of when the items arrived in Australia and stated when it was to be shipped locally (late April) and then didn't send out my order or never placed it to begin with.
The vendor refused to respond to tickets, email or direct Discord messages.
Already reported to Visa.

First time I have had this egregious an issue over 12 group buys.

Unfortunate since I had already bought matching caps and specific switches for the build  ^-^

Keyboards / Re: Dz60 - Can i fix the circuit damaged by using milmax.
« Last post by HannaLee on Fri, 21 November 2025, 05:51:18 »
If the Mil-Max installation damaged the DZ60 PCB, it depends on how serious the damage is. Minor lifted pads or scratched traces can sometimes be repaired with jump wires or careful soldering. But if multiple pads are gone or the traces are torn too deep, the board might not be recoverable. A clear photo usually helps people judge the repairability, because some fixes are simple while others just aren’t worth the effort.

It sounds like your DZ60 PCB might still be salvageable! Mil-Max pins alone won’t fix broken traces, but adding small wire bridges to reconnect damaged circuits usually works. Take it slow, check continuity with a multimeter, and you can often bring a row back to life without replacing the whole PCB.

Hi hisimomo,

It sounds like some traces on your DZ60 PCB might have been lifted or damaged during soldering, which is why row 3 isn’t working. Using Milmax pins alone won’t repair broken circuits—it just provides better switch connections if the pads are intact.

To fix damaged traces, people usually use one of these methods:

Wire bridges: Solder tiny wires to reconnect broken traces. You’ll need a multimeter to trace the connections and ensure continuity.

Conductive paint or pen: For small breaks, a conductive pen can restore the connection.

Replace the PCB (last resort): If too many traces are damaged, it might be easier to get a new PCB.

Regarding the DZ60 map: it shows which pins connect to each row and column. You don’t need to fully read it—you just need to identify where the broken trace runs and bridge it manually.

If you want, I can explain step by step how to check and bridge a broken row safely.

Ergonomics / Re: Keywell and Topre mounting options
« Last post by pulatgu6 on Fri, 21 November 2025, 01:18:14 »
I am on my most difficult building journey so far, bringing authentic topre feel to a keywell.

I will be scavenging a topre board for components. I have figured out the electronics already, but I am uncertain how to mount the topres.

The case will be in alu. I am thinking of mounting the same way HHKB does, by attaching the sliders to the top case, but I am uncertain if the sound will be pleasant if the sound goes through an entire aluminium case. So it might be worthwhile getting a dedicated slider plate in plastics instead.

Has anyone here any ideas regarding this or maybe perhaps played with the idea themselves? I couldnt find much when searching for it.

I got this,...
