Latest revxlp prototype is a success*!

* New case tweaks for sizing, the height and fit are great now.
* Moved reset and power closer to the edge, for easier access in the case.
* Half PCBA'd by JLC
* Shorter 2mm standoffs for lower overall height of the build.

#mechanicalkeyboards

* Small copper fill issue, but not a show stopper, and already fixed in git.

@petejohanson what is that case?? 👀
Show threadPete JohansonNov 11, 2022
@kukkurovaca my own design, using CadQuery on top of DXF and pick and place exports from the PCBs.

@petejohanson sorry, I meant the xpac pouch with the g hooks : )

(not to disrespect the keyboard at all)

@kukkurovaca oh! That's a Mustard Packets bag, not sure they're selling them any more.

@petejohanson it is extremely dope
Show threadPete JohansonNov 11, 2022
@kukkurovaca for sure. I was super happy to snag it before they stopped being available.

@petejohanson this looks super amazing 😍 is there already a build guide for this / when do you think it will be ready to be built by newbies like me :-)
Show threadPete JohansonMar 11, 2023

@hansamann everything to get them made and built is up at https://gitlab.com/lpgalaxy/revxlp

Hopefully also will be available from a vendor eventually.

@hansamann I would say there's a few aspects to the build that make it not great for super new solderers. The shift register and the pogo pins are very doable with an iron, but certainly more involved than basic through hole builds.

@petejohanson one column less would be totally fine with me. Would you use Miryoku on these or what else do you recommend?
Show threadPete JohansonMar 11, 2023
@hansamann I have a 10u version in the works. Miryoku is an option or I use a Callum style mods keymap.

@petejohanson I've never messed with choc switches myself, but ~36 key layout is near and dear to my heart. very cool board!

@abstrktionLair the new sunsets mean we finally have a nice tactile option. Doing one more final prototype run before I formally release this (OSH), and hopefully a vendor will be carrying it for sale too.
