I simply want to share my work so far with the community. Once I have my first working prototype, I'll be posting pictures.

The PCBs are currently being manufactured (5 of each) of the V0.1 with the stupid row diode arrangement that I've fixed for V0.2.

I already have the switches, diodes, teensy 2.0 loaded with the firmware, wire to fix my diode fuck up. The switches I have currently are real shitty and more just to use for proof of concept. PCBs supposed to ship in three days per AllPCBs order thingy.

edit : as far as switches go only a few select people who have helped me so far (one for firmware and another for PCB design). I have a far way to go before making V1.

Look... Post something up other than a badly designed PCB, so we know what the hell you are talking about. So far, all we know is that it's a keycapless design, with mechanical switches with less than 0.5mm travel, yet uses a common switch with over 50 varieties, and has a top panel with no keycaps that you can print your own designs on. It sounds terrible as a device to type on.

Me salty? You're the one PMing me, crying about why I am being mean to your imaginary keyboard. I'm just giving you my opinion, based on the little you have divulged so far. If you don't like it, just ignore it instead of harassing me via PM. Perhaps if you published some details people wouldn't need to speculate. So, about these switches for example. You say there are 50 varieties available... so why not just tell us what they are so we can take a look?

For those wondering, this is a controller for a Noritsu commercial printer for printing photos. You use this keyboard to perform colour corrections on the photos before printing. You use the arrow keys to select a photo, and then YMCD (Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, Density) to select the parameter to adjust, and then the -, N (Neutral), + keys to make adjustments. It's extremely fast and efficient once you know what you're doing. The screen displays 6 images at a time, and a fast person would spend less than one second on each image. You need that kind of efficiency when you're dealing with thousands of photos.

Hm. I can't really speak to the Keychron at all, as I've never used any of their boards other than trying a few friends' out before.

All I can say is that this Akko board is my favorite, and I'm thinking of buying a second for the office.

It's very well built, and the stock switches/stabs are fantastic. I have the one with the Crystal switches, I think.
