The landlord used to use a red axis of Cherry's MX-Board 3.0, 104 keys:

Ikeb has used the green axis, 104 keys:

However, because the blue axis sounds too loud, it still likes the softness of the red axis, so the green axis was later given to people.

I always watched the dishes in the bowl, very much concerned with Filco's gynecological second hand 87 keys:

However, given so many examples, they could not resist the enthusiastic attitude of the landlord's own DIY! Say dry.

DIY small keyboard, Taobao has already had a very mature solution - GH60. Feng Yu is chosen by people according to different usage habits and needs. According to their needs, the landlord finally chose the following allocation:

64 keys with arrow keys

This arrangement retains the arrow keys. Some special functions can be achieved using the Fn function key. The seller has given this arrangement a name called XD60. The size of the board is basically the same as that of the GH60. The base of the GH60 can be used.

The arrangement of the key positions can basically be easily switched over from the full keyboard, and it does not feel unaccustomed.

I chose a shop that sells XD60 boards at the richest man's house. There are packages in this shop. You can choose PCB+Axis+Satellite Axis+Floor Shell+Help to arrange the brush. I chose the arrangement with arrow keys. In this way I can purchase another set of 104-key OEM keycaps, which is just enough to remove the keycaps in the numeric keypad area.

Package configuration

This package comes standard with the red axis of the G-axis, which is currently the most popular autonomous axis. The evaluation of this axis and the related knowledge of the key-cap distribution:

Three major popular axes dismantling and contrasting - Cherry axis VS Squirrel axis VS High axis - Keyboard area - Peripheral world - Computer peripherals Enthusiasts gathered three major popular axis disassembly comparison - Cherry axis VS squirrel axis VS high axis bbs.wstx.com direct link [Picture] [SpongeBob SquarePants] Popular science - distribution, keycap height and common keycap multiple recognition.

Start with the keycap height: The common keycap heights are listed in order from highest to lowest: OEM (OEM)-SP-Cherry (Original) The ball cap is divided into SA-DSA. Simply distinguish the words. Ordinary Keycaps in addition to Cherrytieba.baidu.com direct links

The last key cap chosen by the landlord is a PBT non-engraved 104 key cap, you can also according to their own needs carved or custom.

Regarding the problem of light bulbs, because the landlord did not like light pollution, he did not light the lights, but this board could be lighted. There is a need for value-friends to study for a little while there should be no problem.

According to the need to be on the lamp, PCB reserved lamp control and lamp position

Regarding the positioning board problem, because the landlord here comes standard with a 5-pin shaft, it is not necessary. You may need it, but it may be hard to hit the bottom and it will also be loud.

Next is the electrician who loves to operate. Three thousand words are omitted here. And ten maps.

Remember that each key is individually tested after soldering, and no further shaft or keycaps can be added after a stinky shaft or imaginary solder joint does not appear. After the finished product looks like:

Phone slag diagram. I forgive you. PBT key caps are actually much better than ABS key caps. For me such a big sweat hand, it is really a gospel. Because the Cherry MX-Board 3.0's ABS key cap was already greased all over my armpit.

In addition, I do not know the reason is my technology or plate / keycap, after the completion of welding there are always several keycaps look down when it is awkward, how to adjust but also to adjust, but fortunately do not see clearly, but also It does not affect the use of.

In addition, I installed too much force, bought a no-touch keycap, overestimated his ability to play blind, when using the number keys, the error rate is really scary at first, fortunately after a period of familiarity, the number keys are also No longer a problem. The weird thing is that the symbol may be used more often at the time of coding, so even if the symbol did not encounter problems at the beginning!

The full keyboard down price is:

Two sets of prices

This is the price of two sets. Yes, I have two sets, the same one, and the other set:

PCB board + shell = 264 yuan

104 without PBT cap = 55 yuan

Mini USB cable = 18 yuan

A set of total: 337 yuan (excluding labor costs)

This price can not be considered as a cost-effective, but it is value for money after you get into it.

Finally, we summarize the difference between Cherry's red axis and Gott's red axis. Personally I feel that Gotthard's red axis is soft and the amplitude of key shaking is slightly larger than that of Cherry. However, the evaluation of the forum shared above, the G axis of the red axis is Chest pressure greater than the Cherry axis.

The owner of the PCB board sent a Cherry red key puller. I personally compared the keys with my MX-Board 3.0. I have a small guess - the lot of Chery's red shaft may not be the real thing. Hahahahaha. It's just a small guess that individuals reserve the right to be blamed.
