Parts
If you are just building one half, you don't need a TRRS jack or cable.
Included in the kit
- Set of PCBs. Top, middle, and bottom are standard. Bases are extra.
- 2 TRRS jacks (CP-43514-ND)
- 62 1N4148w diodes
- 32 100NF 0805 capacitors
- 32 SK6812 or WS2812b RGB LEDs
- 28 3x1 Pin connectors
Half of the above values are included in a small bag with every half-kit.
Not included in the kit
- Keycaps, all Ergodox sets are compatible. The outer column supports 1u and 1.5u.
- 2 5V/16MHz Pro Micros with pins (official, blue clone, or black clone)
- 4 2U PCB-mount stabilizersTransparent stabilizers work best. The case does not support plate-mount stabs.
- 62 Switches. The PCB is alps-compatible but the top plate is not. For best RGB effects, get switches with transparent housings like Zealios, Cherry RGB, Gateron RGB, Aliaz, or Outemu Ice.
- TRRS cable
- Micro USB cable
- Bumper feet of your choice or rubber sheet (12"x12)
Tools required
- Soldering iron. I've used a few cheap ones that don't work so well, the Hakko FX-888D is worth every penny.
- Flush Cutters Can be found in hobby shops
- Solder wire 0.032" or smaller will make SMD soldering easier
- Tweezers to hold small components while soldering
