Beautiful design!!

Is there a PCB holding the switches on the control side?

some switches and caps arrived. I put in brown. No click. A tactile bumb (that is to tactile for me to confirme). Blacks are no click no tactile harder than red which are otherwise alike. Blue has click. My Romoral keypad could be ordered with blue og red, and i stupidly ordered blue, and my family reacted instantly to the clicking noise.
I also ordered some low profile switches, but they had a slightly different pin layout. Whatch out for that.

Blue and low profile brown and some caps:

Different pinout on the low profiles - hard to see, but the lowest pin is different. On the brown it is centered, on the white it is a bit to the right. The white one is the correct pin layout for my romoral keypads:

Assembled with brown switches (no click - normal profile) and some different style of caps:

  • with different height of the caps i hope that there will be some physical reference that tells my fingers where they are!

All the best..

I’m adding this link to a Topic created by @gadg3ts with an article about a very cool new Zynthian with a DIY Wooden Keyboard to Success Cases:

Just to make it easier to find.
