Dang, always on the lookout for hotswaps that use the lower-right 1U setup. Hopefully the Tofu 2.0 lets us do that, as the DRZ PCB is still sold out.

Reply to comment by Lei_Fuzzion in Novelkeys mystery switches. Gateron milky green?? by Lei_Fuzzion
afaik they have a different leaf than the gateron linear housings and gateron browns. So that's why I said a tactile stem might be nice

you could probably just sandblast it/brush finish it off. anodizing doesnt go very deep. Any jeweler would be able to do that for you. maybe not something youd want to do for resale value tho.

yeah i wasnt so much worried about it looking good, i just didnt want the stock cherry ones and i had heard good things about the durocks so i knew i wanted them. There was no price difference between colors so i figured why not?

I have a solder pcb, so the there was a bunch of options that I could use, the pcb that I got has the option for the "normal" 60% layout, or one with arrows and 1u keys. that was my first mech so I wanted the arrow keys so that's the layout soldered. I not 100% sure but I don't think the hot swap pcb for the old tofu has all those options.

Kono got the artisans to match. They are worth the score.

Dude, nice. I have a similar project in limbo myself, I just need to learn to design the PCB and get it ordered. The breadboard prototype is working and gathering dust on my desk though. So, congrats on actually completing the project.

Wait, how did you get all 1U keys on the right-hand side, where shift was? That's my preferred layout but I thought the old Tofu60 stuck you with no "?" Key and a small right shift?

Go for RP2040 based MCUs, everything else is extremely outdated by now.
Edit: for example KB2040, Helios, Frood RP2040, at least here in the EU. Don’t really have examples beyond the KB2040 for US. If you Design from scratch, of course your don’t have to use the pro micro footprint
