lumberjack-keyboard VS Mech-50

Yup, I love using them on my DIY Lumbjerjack keyboard.

Lumberjack Assembly Guide

Designed by the very talented Peej, The Lumberjack is a DIY 5x12 ortholinear "mono-split" keyboard using through hole parts for easier assembly, fits in most 60% keyboard cases, and supports MX, Choc v1, and Alps switches. Check out Peej's Github page here for all the details on this incredible keyboard.

the Lumberjack is what got me into ortholinear boards; it’s his second revision and I imagine he (and others) would be happy to provide some design suggestions about how to space things out for maximum compatibility with cases.

For all the details on Peej's board, check out his Github page.

I'm trying to build a Lumberjack keyboard but I'm having a very hard time sourcing the case. I'd like a case that hides the switch stems, so like the Tofu60, not the Planck EZ style.

Ah, it's a custom PCB design https://github.com/rgoulter/keyboard-labs/ and the design takes a clear inspiration from the Lumberjack PCB https://github.com/peej/lumberjack-keyboard

I’ve been putting off sharing this because it didn’t quite feel finished, but progress is slow so decided to give it a share! It’s a custom 50% ortho powered by an elite-c, with three extra keys on the left (I use for media control). The PCB and base plate are designed by me with KiCad.

ha ha, well, I just took a bunch of precreated footprints that Keebio published and rearranged them until they did what I needed. I've made the repo public, if you want to follow along (just don't order the pcb until I can confirm it works!)
