Hello. I do not seem to see it mentioned whether the (internal) hardware of the M01 is open-source, as in there is a set of PCB layout and other required files which others can use/adapt to build their own simple M01-like keyboards able to use Kaleidoscope, especially without RGB leds, simple single…

I note that here @jesse has said: [image] More portable version Are there technical/electrical drawings available that I’d be able to use to do that? We haven’t published them, because we’re running behind (and the final manufacturing versions are all in Chinese.) We do intend to publish the…

Indeed, we’re still running behind. And we didn’t want to publish the design before we’d actually shipped preorders. Kaia and I agree that we will publish the electrical design for the Model 01 in the near future. We’ve never published the electrical design for a keyboard before and want to make su…

[image] jesse: It’s also worth noting that if you’re thinking of building a keyboard similar to the Model 01 without the LEDs and with MX style switches, you’re going to end up redoing so much of the layout that it’s probably almost just as easy to start from scratch. Thank you for that most …

Hi @jesse , was just wondering if you decided to post the PCB design/layout publicly or not. I desoldered the keys and replaced them with a different set but in the process messed up somewhere. It would be nice to see the PCB design to help me troubleshoot. No worries if not, just thought I’d ask. Th…

Would you also be able to share a file for the casing? I have access to a laser cutter and would like to cut my own casing. I could always take it apart and trace it if necessary.

I think you can find what you are looking for in this thread Enclosure specs and Lasers Also I got the outline of the bottom for the keyboard by sending a mail to help@keyboard.io

Jason: Sorry for the delay in my reply. We don’t publish the full layout drawings, but drop us mail at help@keyboard.io with a note about what part of the board’s busted and I can get you the detail you need.

@jesse , thanks for the response. The problem is that my palm key on the left doesn’t seem to be registering. I replaced the switch by desoldering the old switch and soldering on a new one (knowing that this would void the warranty, but I have experience soldering, so no worries there). However, eve…
