[IC] 40% custom keyboard with full-size space bar
« on: Sat, 14 May 2016, 15:11:45 »
Hey guys, first time posting on here~
I designed a 40% keyboard and already have my first pcbs here and i got kind of a good feedback on /r/mk so i thought i'd show you guys :)

The layout i'll be using is this one, just so you get an idea:


Yesterday i soldered the diodes, the switches and the teensy to my board and i think that's a good point to show my project :> I'll make a sandwich case in the next few days, i have 3mm thick acrylic glass for a top and bottom plate here and i'll mill it myself.

Here are the pictures:

Please tell me if this layout would interest you or not and why! Thanks a ton!

Edit: Everything finished!

Looks good! I question the functionality of a full-size spacebar on a keyboard that's literally less than half the usual size, though.

Looks great! But wouldn't it be better to have options on the spacebar row? Maybe support for multiple layouts.

I'm still interested though..  ;D

This looks pretty good. How much you thinking one of these is going to run for?
