[Order] TX60/TX65/TX84se [Finished]

[kin25]

I've checked it's not there - I only see the stabs, films and LEDs which I ordered.

sorry, I will send them on Monday.

[pr0ximity]

TX kits always look so fresh and clean, not sure what it is about them.

Nice work, kin

The amazing attention to detail and quality

Does anybody have the dimensions and weight of a TX60/65 bag?

Does anyone know what diodes Kin uses for the boards. My pcb has a diode cracked for the left ctrl and it does not work. I put a picture of it below to see if there is anything I can do with it without replacing it. I couldn't find any spares in the kit.

My silver TX60 arrived yesterday.  Flawless condition, looks great.  Thanks Kin.

Dang that's a good looking board. Though I have to say I'd recommend OG dyesubs instead :P

in for one. looks great

Waiting on invoice still. Has me nervous. is this still open or is the stock gone?

Gorgeous. I love it! I too concur with pr0ximity on OG dyesubs :) Or you can always get in the new BSP run that will be up tomorrow on Massdrop.

[regionfree]

for the TX84SE, is the diffuser a required piece in the assembly? or is it something you can choose not to install?

[Snappo]

Is this still open for order? I've heard its closed and the invoices have been sent but I'm not sure.

Tx84se were sold out.

Maybe some TX60/65 still available?

There was a problem of google drive.
I can't see updated google form file.
after 25 Match, orders can't be shown.


PLZ send email to me, if you want to buy extras.


225ozzy@naver.com

I believe there are still at least some extras; I ordered a silver tx60 on April 12 and was invoiced within a day or so. See Kin's note above.

Thanks I'll try that.

thank you kin!!!~

using it as a storage unit for this kmac until i can be bothered to sell it. perfect fit

Wow, high five bro! This is exactly the same I'm going to do with my gray TX84SE: egro clear, 9009 keycap except that still waiting for the switches to arrive.

I know what you mean by the blue being even better in person.  Honestly, the only thing I can think of that is that same blue is women's blue satin panties.  I think that's probably appropriate...
What keycaps do you plan to use on the blue?

Are there any guides anywhere on how to flash QMK to the boards?

I have a TX65 and I'd like to put QMK on it but I haven't had much luck finding information specific to Leeku PCBs and QMK.

Pretty sure Leeku are not compatible with Qmk

correct, the controller on leeku boards won't work with QMK

i think it's ll4148 for SMD diodes

Yeah I did, he told me to take a diode from the iso enter and use that to replace it (feels really bad to not think of that myself).

Thanks for the replies guys. There is a TMK port for some Leeku PCBs so perhaps working from that the TX65 PCB could be ported?

There are some boards with the same controller (Atmega32A) such as the JC65, Bface? but that might not be relevant...

I would highly advise against using QMK on the Leeku boards. PCBs are cheap, TX60 uses standard 60%.
The requirement to use QMK on these boards is to completely replace the bootloader using a tool called an AVR programmer. There's no going back. It is a fairly difficult task that can be avoided by just buying another PCB.
For the non 60s, it's probably worth a shot but hope you have a spare PCB just in case.

[midnight2903]

Anyone here have any idea why my JigOn connection kept failing?

I updated the layout few days ago and now I can't even connect.

[trikoi00]

Did you update to latest pcb firmware ?

[midnight2903]

Did you update to latest pcb firmware ?

Didn't do any update. I was able to program it previously so not sure why suddenly doesn't connect anymore 

[trikoi00]

I have the same issue, tried update jt. Reset to factory default solve it but not for long.  Once I bricked it by playing around with rgb settings. It just totally refuse to connect, light were on only. Then I hold ~ when plug in to reset to factory. It work fine now.

I will try it again. Thanks.

[pixelpusher]

Couple of tips for dummies like myself.  Yes, you snap off that top and bottom part of the PCB.
Always test every single key before you build!  I had 3 diodes on my TX-65 that were not properly set.  Two of them responded to some flux and a hot iron.  The other one had to come off completely.  And yes, diodes are polarized.  And yes, these DO have markings, you just need a good amount of light to see them.  They are printed (debossed?) in the black.  You'll see two vertical lines and a "W1" if you look very carefully.  I removed the diode, added flux, reseated, and with a smidge of solder on the iron tip, I touched it to the diode and surface pad.

Built mine today with lubed box yellows. Case is flawless.

[YisSerL]

Very clean.  How do you like the box yellow?  Is it a pain to open up box switches to lube them?

Not really, I opened them all up with just my finger nails. Pull both sides at the same time and the spring does the rest.

They're ok, really like the 85g bottom out weight. Box switches are super smooth when pressing them from the middle, if you happen to hit a switch off centre you scratch the side of the box on the top housing, particularly noticeable on the 1.25u and up keycaps obviously. Don't think I will build with them again but I like having a different switch on each board so no regrets.

[Peppermint216]

Also, fully built it weighs 2.3kg, is this the heaviest 60%?

The Fjell is still heavier.

It's not a "no going back" procedure. You can dump the current firmware to back it up, then restore it if you run into problems. Also not hugely difficult as long as the PCB has headers and you're moderaly comfortable debugging things. Buy a USB ISP, download avrdude, then read some tutorials.

Getting QMK actually working on one of these though, is a different story. Can't speak to how difficult that is, but I think it would be fun to try.

It's worth mentioning that the Leeku uses an Atmega32a chip which doesn't have native usb support and will require vusb.c .  The Pearl QMK branches uses this but it's still limited, certain things like QMK Macros won't ever work due to timeout issues. I ended up just handwiring my Pearl to a teensy to get QMK on it.

[wholypantalones]

You can build it with or without. I put some white paper in the bottom of mine and it diffuses the light a lot better.
