ragecat, first of all, i haven't ship out your stuff yet, this week is busy week at work for me, couldn't manage to go out to post office to post them  sad.gif

also to answer your question, satellite axis is referring to cherry stabilizers.

g-axis, i'm not so sure d, probably it means gateron switch? need some taobao masters to answer.

No problem bro. Expecting mid-may only items all arrive.

Aiyah. Looking for costar stabiliser. :S

Was looking at the B.mini and the B.miniR. Anyone used em before? I understand the need for diodes, but are resistors necessary as well?

Diodes is a must resistor is for LED so if you dont plan on using leds than can skip the resistors but if you want buy get with pre solder cause both of these is very small therefore hard to solder and hard to make it look nice.just pay him for this 2 soldered

Fair enough. Going for two keyboards. 1 for home 1 for office. Parts I've more or less decided on for the office keyboard:-

Office
Chengal wood case
Acryllic plate
Gateron black
DSA keycaps
B.mini pcb
Cherry stabilisers
Teensy 2.0 controller
1N4148W diodes

Am I missing anything from the list?

you do not need teensy controller for B.MINI build in .acrylic plate can be bought from winkeyless so might as well
*
Oh sweet! No need for controller then! smile.gif In what situation is the teensy used for then? I can't seem to find the plate on winkeyless. Just acrylic case.

Btw, I won't need a controller for the GH60 Satan as well right? I'm looking at that for my second keyboard. This one will be for gaming, so I don't need the function keys. B.mini is fantastic for office as its small, has direction keys and the function keys.

Chengal wood case, sounds interesting to me.. biggrin.gif

I'm picking up my wooden blocks this weekend! Can't wait. I haven't figured out how to chop it yet though. Apparently it is stupid hard to work with.

Winkeyless acrylic case comes with acrylic plate.

Yes it does. But I won't know what to do with the acrylic case as I only need a plate at the moment.

What facilities/equipment do you have? A cnc milling machine?
I have built the lyn keyboard and have a cnc aluminum keyboard in production
zennasyndroxx is an expert is designing custom keyboard
he will help if he is paid with the right amount of consultation fees  icon_rolleyes.gif

I have no facilities or equipment lol. However, I have found someone on LYN with a laser cutting machine to cut the keyboard although he is more into PC modding than keyboard modding. The principles should be the same? Thanks for the help though, much appreciated! smile.gif That is a very nice keyboard btw. Love what people do to their keyboards. Maybe people start making custom mouse next?

Currently, I am planning on experimenting with different materials for casing. A bit ambitious as I haven't even started on my first keyboard but one can always dream. tongue.gif

Well, know what material you're playing with. Cutting wood is a little tricky, I've used to cut those small F1 cars(F1 in school) out of wooden block(very low density wood), it's very easy to get burnt, hard wood might be a little different but I can predict the edges probably will have very slight burnt mark or appear darker. Well, that's with my experience on a old CNC machine few years back.

Laser cutting? Laser cutting wood? Can meh? Laser only can etch wood only wor, if cut, means cut through one for laser, too thick also cannot cut through. It cannot like cut to certain depth like CNC, except if you're talking about the plate. Need very precise design, or else the switch cannot mount properly. Just my 2cents.

No leh. Laser cut acrylic plate tongue.gif Not sure how I'm going to do the case also! Thinking of the round edges like tables. Got so much to read about wood work!

Just bought a filco majestouch 2 tkl. Was mildly surprised when i went back, opened up and found out it was pink with white keycaps. But for the price you pay, the feel is really good. Really solid keyboard, very little wobbles and general all round good feel. Pink keyboard for my office though. Previous keyboards ive used are the cm storm quickfire rapid black switch and rosewill rk9000 blueswitch.

If exclude the donation, the price will be lower, I buy HKP also not cheap.. Some are even mor expensive than the brocap. Nice, I like, looks very well made, definitely live up the hype.
Many tried and failed. Good luck.
