diy cherry mx... keyboard ql key caps...
i first to do the... hack you must know.... that:
a) you cant roll back to membrane keybord....
b) it need somer work to do....and tools...
c) because shιιιιt hapent you take the responsibility... if you are damage your QL....(i checked and the keyboard works)
at second you need... the plate...
(i will give gerbers only in p.m of the rev 2 because now i install the rev 1 and i work on rev 2...)
tools(file.....rotary drill or dremmel sand papers solering iron...)
step 1.... remove everithing from upper case of the ql.... and the pilars that not have bolts .....
step 2 tri to match the plate circuit withe center of the keys.....y can use the dremel to center the bolt screws and the pass hole bolts....
step3 try to close the ql....(maybe you must move the plate little up-down-left or right to do this .....)
step 3(i done it with a 16 mm drillbit) remove the circular pilar of the old keys.....) picture 1 part 4 rebolt the pcb plate and mark the squers that you see removed with file....or dremmel but not brake the bolt pillars... on the center....(ihas 2) picture 2... part 5
bold the pcb back or make the next step with the pcb out....
then you solder the cherry mx....(because we have not a plate that holds the cheery mx in line..... its allitle tricky to...solder it strait)
pic 3 part 6 pute the keycaps of the ql on cherry mx.... (it fits on the cross no problem....)
the space stabilew with the space bar so do not damage it(all the system o stabilization)
part 7 take a cable of a disc drive or hdd and cut 9 and 11 wires...
solder the wires (the 11 is all from bottom of the pcb..and the 9 from the top so its difficut to mess the lines) part 8 to do the edge conecttor i tace a 9 hole pcb vero and a 11...hole vero and i make it thiner to instert to ql keybord conectror
part 8
i found this... and is corrected of this board.,...4 keys is no rigth on the matrix o-9 and 1-3 its inverted)

i say that i found it but i search an jose lendro funt it olso in the past....
Re: diy cherry mx... keyboard ql key caps...
Nice job well done. It is needed to eliminate the constant membrane problem. Several people here including me were looking at making a PCB but time is my problem. I am sure you can sell the PCB to some.nikosdoykas wrote: the pcb cherry mx plate....

Nice work indeed!

I also found this when I worked on the USB Keyboard interface. Wonder that no one mentioned it before.i found this... and is corrected of this board.,...4 keys is no rigth on the matrix o-9 and 1-3 its inverted)

Re: diy cherry mx... keyboard ql key caps...
Hi,
I could be interested in producing the finished keyboard.
Is it possible to make the keyboard PCB fit into the upper QL case without altering the case?

I WILL GIVE THE GERBERS OF REV 2 FOR FREEEEEEEEEEEEE
FOR FREEEE
ITS FOR QUANTUM LEAP ALL MY DESIGNS NOT FOR MY POKETS.....
ITS MY IDEOLOGY TO MAKE THE QL FINALLY A QUANTUM LEAP THAT UNCLE CLIVE THINK......
AND WAS DEAD FROM A BUSSINES MAN NAMED ALAIN SUGAR...
CLIVE WAS A DREAMER....

If you swap the disign with tact yes but the keybord will be like a wood..... hehehehehDerek_Stewart wrote:Hi,

i was thinking to do like that.... but i was made in the past by line to line tackl and i dont like the think\
was toooo woddy no
the only way is cherry mx....or pads with membrane like germans do.....
but is another storyy...
prOdution,,,?
nope free gerbers and free for eny one like qubide 0kb 512kb and 768 (its not my desing acctuall that will puplish a friend) qdisk -- extenal an internal rams for QUANTUM LEAP
ιi am a drreamer not a mechant

Is there another keyboard related one?nikosdoykas wrote:yes.... and is not the only one
