B-Series online site open

[hojin.yi]

B-Series is a group name of PCB produced by Hyodong.Min(nicknamed "beastmask").
Recently he opened new web site to introduce them internationally.

I want to know your opinion on B-serices if you know this products already.

One of the most noticible features of B-series PCB is the ability to freely change the color of RGB LED.
Additionally you can set the keyboard functions as you wish by using “bootMapper Client” program for PC.

New firmware “ps2avrGB” is the upgraded version of ps2avrU with the power to control RGB LED.

And also you can customize and order the acrylic case easily.

Really liking the b.mini.

What is difference between R and EX?

[Evo_Spec]

I would have gotten a B 87 had i not ordered another board before hand. Heck i'm still interested right now....

[zennasyndroxx]

What is difference between R and EX?

R is reversed on switch LED position from the usual bottom to the top.

EX is extended. Bmini EX would give you a Bmini with a numpad while B87 EX would give you a full layout

Interesting B pad if it have "000" function

Aren't these programmable? I don't know much about B series boards, although I would expect customs to allow that.

I don't know more about B pad. But I studied about some custom keypad via software keymap like KMAC, Aikon, O2D. It 's seem impossible Only hope found Cherry MX keypad can do that

Nice site, lots of cool keyboards!

Hi.
Thanks for your interests.
Model with "R" means the switch LED is placed on top of the key instead of at bottom.
"EX" board has the "num key" like full sized keyboard.(Look at the pictures I attached above.)
Thanks.

B-series is supporting custom macro settings.
So it's possible to set "000 functions" by customizing.
I'll translate the manual in English as soon as possible, and post it.
Thanks

I guess you can set a macro string of 000 and set the key to that macro.

Wish there was a list of all the parts on the site required for each assembly. It seems you'd need to purchase the PCB and acrylic case but it's not clear how many LEDs, diodes, etc is needed for each keyboard.

Edit: misread. Seems the diodes and registers are included, and can be ordered to come pre-soldered.

[quochung1989]

I seems never macro, only think to keymapping. If so, any custom keypad have macro can type "000". I 'll try that in the future
@hojin.yi: waiting English manual from you

check the screencapture of the bootmapper.

You can set custom macro with delays and stuff and save it under CstMac1 or anything until 12. Then when you're on the keymapper, you can remap the CstMac1 key (if you save the '000' macro to CstMac1) to anywhere you want on the pad.

Hope this helps

So tempted by the mini...damn it.

Yeah I completely understand. I think I can do it. Thanks for your instruction

Where do you get the cases made for your keyboards?

Hi.
Drawing design is by ourselves.
Cutting is by an acrylic factory in Korea.
(you can search them in the internet.)
Thanks.

[intelli78]

Do the TKL PCBs fit in a Filco case?

[zennasyndroxx]

Do the TKL PCBs fit in a Filco case?

at least not the top part of the case since korean customs' f-row is closer to the numrow compared to costars or oem

[berserkfan]

looks like everything is going to be custom, thus increasing the cost again.
