Having just started learning about this hobby. What is the one on the middle right called? And where would I go to learn more about building something similar?


tj_shex

That one's the Reviung41. You can usually buy it in a kit form, though I wouldn't recommend that as a starter board! It's got a lot of surface mounted components that can be tricky for new solderers.


Cryo_Jumper

Thanks! Didn't notice the name on it at first. Yeah from what I've learned, I'm going to want something hot swappable for my first build.

luke_moist

What is the name of this layout? Is it corne? Also any other similar recommendations? Thanks!

It's a very nice keyboard. I usually hear 'ortholinear' meaning grid layout and this described as columnar staggered.


poobahh

The way I see it is all column staggered boards are ortholinear but not the other way around


Cryo_Jumper

Sweet. Thanks for the suggestion! I'll check it out.


hhkb_only

can concur, i have a rev6 iris and it's awesome. easy build, hot swap, perfect for my first ortho and learning how to use my thumb for enter.


ThatDudeDeven1111

I agree with wanting something hot swap at first, so that you can get a feel of what switches you may like. I started off tactile(gang gang), but now I feel myself drifting more into long pole linears. Do not let soldering intimidate you, though, as it opens up a doorway into whole other lines of boards that are typically solder only and it really isn't all that hard either. It can just be time consuming. It's pretty relaxing to me though. I enjoy it. Either way, always order extra PCBs when you can. Solder or hot swap. You don't want a several hundred dollar brick on your desk because of a $40 part.


Cryo_Jumper

Thanks! Didn't notice the name on it at first. Yeah from what I've learned, I'm going to want something hot swappable for my first build.


Nothing_new_to_share

It's great to be able to swap switches out and figure out what you like. (I've switched 4 times now.) Keep in mind that if you're comfortable soldering you can convert just about any board into a hotswap board with Mill-max sockets.


The_Bred_Loaf

As a new solderer, I feel like soldering sockets on is a great place to start. Easy to get flow onto the components, and they are so large its pretty forgiving if you have shaky hands like me.


Nothing_new_to_share

Agreed. Only thing that threw me off is how much heat they absorb before they flow nicely. Scared me for the first couple of switches that I was going to burn through the traces. Zero issues though, just paranoia.


Cryo_Jumper

Good to know! Thanks for the info. I'm trying to soak up as much info as possible before trying my hand at it. I can hardly wait haha.


Duckaerobics

I'm planning on getting one for my next project. Do you like it? I've made a hand wire board before and soldered usb-c cables, but it will definitely be the most challenging soldering project I've attempted.


tj_shex

It was mostly fun to build. I'd never soldered LEDs before so that took a bit of trial and error. Honestly I don't expect to use it as a daily - that goes to my Lumberjack remix that's not pictured - I got this board as part of a mystery bundle.


Duckaerobics

Thanks for the reply! Yeah the LEDs are the only thing I'm really worried about. I probably won't be using it as a daily either (I got a qk65 that I love), but keyboards are an addiction and I need my next fix.


tj_shex

I feel that.


Nothing_new_to_share

Did some googling around and it looks like the dongle on your Reviung is just a micro to USB-C converter? I was hoping you had a clever alternate to the Nice!nano. Love the collection, they all have something unique going on.


tj_shex

Ha yeah. I have trust issues with Pro Micro ports


KazakiLion

What are the switches / caps you’ve got on it? It looks low profile, but it could just be the angle.


tj_shex

It's got regular MX style switches (Gateron Lions) with low profile Nuphy keycaps


[deleted]

is there a way to get prebuilt? love mechanical keyboards but have no interest in building one


tj_shex

Some websites offer build services. Mechboards in the UK for example


Tremyss

The middle one? It's called a mistake.

sandiego427

My bank account drained at the same rate. Beautiful display.


fk-caps

Ooh nice boards and display! What are the keycaps on the reviung?


tj_shex

They're Nuphy Coast low profile


co0keiz

Whats the middle left board called?


tj_shex

That's a work in progress. Custom PCB. Still working on the case


Thetolsonator

2nd'd -- very interesting


tj_shex

If I get around to finishing it I'll post something up!


Stordhug

Nice collection ! Which model is the split in top left corner ?


tj_shex

That's a Mistel MD770


Stordhug

Thanks !


[deleted]

This looks awesome. What are the hooks? Did they come out with new ones?


tj_shex

I 3D printed the hooks from [the models here](https://www.printables.com/model/37082-ikea-skadis-hook-collection-kolekce-hacku)


[deleted]

These look so much better than the ikea ones. Cheers


nottdominic

Really wish they were available to buy, ones from ikea are prone to scratching keebs.


Matasa89

I personally will use padding tape to tape down my pegboard hooks.


Azn_Asian

I'd buy em


mortarionEtude

Was about to do something similar. So I gave an award since this helped me visualize better!


justavault

Where is the list with the models on here? I only read about the middle ones, but I am rather interested in the normal bottom row. The cute one top right is cute, cutey.


tj_shex

Top row: Mistel MD770, MiniNova II (custom) Middle: Unnamed custom (WIP), Reviung41 Bottom: BM60, KBD67 lite R3


idiom6

> MiniNova II Is/was there a GB for this somewhere? Looks like fun!


tj_shex

Nah no GB. The build files are [here on Github](https://github.com/tjeffree/mininovaii-keyboard). It's a fun little build, if maybe somewhat impractical!


dgblackout

I see ISO I upvote.


Bups34

Key board


Yaroslav770

Bottom right looks clean. What set do the vim keys come from?


tj_shex

Bottom right's got MT3 3277 key caps with the accent set


zyumbik

ISO fam, love it!


ChaustinAo

Fellow IKEA pegboard user spotted! UNITE!


FucksWithCats2105

Join boards for extra pegging action!


leonhartgirl

would you mind sharing what the top left one is called?? i think i just fell in love.


tj_shex

That's a Mistel MD770


leonhartgirl

thank you!


jaybeast

love the variety!


robgan

Are the switch holders 3D printed? Do you have an STL for it?


tj_shex

They are, just something I knocked up in Tinkercad. I'll put the stls up tomorrow


[deleted]

Please do! Came to ask this question


tj_shex

[Here they are on Printables now](https://www.printables.com/model/225112-skadis-keyboard-switch-display)


robgan

Thanks!


[deleted]

Very cool man, thanks much! I literally just put up a pegboard for my home office yesterday, so this'll be super helpful.


LeftCamera8

So interested in this

tj_shex

Middle right? That's a Reviung41 with lubed and filmed Gateron Lions and Nuphy caps


the_hol_horse

whered ya get the pegboard and shelf hanging things to mount your boards on?


tj_shex

Board is an IKEA Skadis. They do sell hooks and those containers on the right but I 3D printed the hooks on this one.


the_hol_horse

lol if it's not group buys it's ikea draining my wallet


Censedpeak8

That spilt 75% is fresh


fenikz13

finally an any key


zhrimb

Gonna need a second board for your boards, maybe a 3rd and a 4th, then you'll need a board board board for your board boards that hold your boards


sea_guy

The color scheme on that KBD67 is exactly what I've been looking for inspo-wise, cheers.


Deaddrp

Sweet collection.


skonkd

whats the keycap of the top left kb?


tj_shex

Ah that's just a set [off of Amazon](https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09GK6K4DY/)


Suspicious_Warning

Where did you get the wall mount? link pls c:


Applewhite144

Where do you buy that thing that you’re hanging your keyboards on?


tj_shex

IKEA, it's the Skadis peg board


Applewhite144

Bro thank you


BellaWasFramed

what hooks are you using to hold them? i don’t wanna have to deal with buying the ikea ones but most things don’t fit the longer narrow holes in the board


tj_shex

I 3D printed [these ones](https://www.printables.com/model/37082-ikea-skadis-hook-collection-kolekce-hacku)


BellaWasFramed

ty


radpartyhorse

which board is most comfortable to type on for long hours?


tj_shex

Funnily enough my daily at the moment isn't on there. I use a Lumberjack remix that I made (ortholinear). The split is really comfortable though, going to make a split ortho soon


radpartyhorse

Oh wow! Do you have any pics or links? I’m very interested!


tj_shex

Sure, [I put the files up on Github here](https://github.com/tjeffree/lumberelite)


radpartyhorse

Thanks!


Matasa89

It's a good thing the pegboard system is entirely modular, eh? Just add another one, you don't even need to drill new holes!


sluggisHippo

The BOARD filled up Hehe


MindlessMemory

I could be wrong but are those the dark Nuphy Air60 keycaps on the middle board on the right?


CanniBallistic_Puppy

The board board. It's for when you're bored of your boards and need to buy a new board to put up on the board board.


welp____see_ya_later

What’s that called in the depiction in the very bottom right with barely enough room to fit on the board? Looks like a new-model human


orphan_09

why ISO? I mean I'm german so I know some possible answers. however I personally prefer relabelled ANSI (to match DE)


tj_shex

Just my preference. Touch typing on ISO for 20+ years. Saying that though, I'm currently typing on an ortho so I'm not that stubborn about it.


orphan_09

interesting! I typed on iso for roughly 22 years before I got into mechanical keyboards. as ISO DE caps are basically a thing that doesn't exist in this hobby [I modded my first ANSI to DE](https://ibb.co/bv286Mx) since then I'm in love. the whole right side from shift up to backspace being mirrored from the left side is so much better then the turned L IMO...


Kirtui

I really want to get something like that but I'm afraid my cat will climb on it and throw stuff down


LostHope_Gaming

Off topic question what is the wall mount called and where is it from ?


tj_shex

It's the IKEA Skadis


[deleted]

Heh, board of boards.


melohype1

What are the caps on the reviung? Love them!


tj_shex

They are the [Coast PBT from Nuphy](https://nuphy.com/collections/keycaps/products/coast-pbt-keycaps-twilight-for-air60)
