Thanks a lot, plus that's not too expensive.

 

There is a little bit of a lead time at the moment as we are gearing up to order round 2

 

Worth the wait though, nicest board I've used for typing

 

I not got one still

They are nice though!

Building another 7 at the moment.

GeorgeK - i ordered all the wrong resistors for your board, so just waiting for the new ones to arrive Should post on monday.

So at the moment I'm building 7 Jd40's, 456CL, 360c coming in a week or so, GON TKL. I will get the OTD 456 and the GON done this weekend, started doing the diodes on the jd's, which is the longest bit, then they come together quite quick.

I've built an insane amount of keyboards this year, I wish they were all mine.

 

Cheers for the update dude

 

I still have an order for the SmallFry version of the JD40 (titanium) which I've not found anyone to take over. If you're up for building that one for me too when it finally arrives...

 

Yeah no worries dude no charge just send it over.

Don't know if this interests anyone - http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=64168.0

 

With all the work you're doing I'd feel bad not paying you! You do a top job.

 

I like sweets and cakes.

 

and a fresh mocha, in my experience (no, not that sort of experience)

 

Mocha is quite literally my weakness, especially in the morning, or if I'm working away, or it's a weekday, or any day.

 

I'm a coffee lover myself! <sips coffee>

 

My work has a new coffee machine, it makes delightful coffee. I haven't drunk coffee at work for a good few years as the old machine made it taste like it had been filtered through an old pair of pants. Now, CAFFEINE CRAZY ALL DAY EVERYDAY

 

Awesome. I'm really glad you're getting the use of the keyboard because it was a shame to see it collecting dust in my house, and I just don't think I have the competence (or the patience) to have done all that fiddling to get it working. It's great that you found such a cheap alternative to the Teensy and your write-up is fantastic.

 

A MarGON 70% Nice!

It's a shame I'm not really looking for any new boards right now and don't really have a use for ISO. Looks good though.

The only board I am dying right now is the Matias 60%... and several keysets

 

I have a question about the JD40 keyboard. Does any one of you have the key mapping somewhere ? I'm especially after the symbols as it would be used for coding.

 

This is the function layer. It's programmable though, so you can have whatever you want.

 

it will be ISO and ANSI

Have you looked at the infiniti keybaord? supports matias switches and is a 60% - it's on massdrop at the moment.

 

Yeah I have, I don't really like 60% boards. I use arrow and home cluster keys too much.
That's why I prefer this one instead.



Just look at that option A.
