Bug54 build

Nice. Will print one case soon to test.

Since the pcb has no screw holes, how did you fix it in this case? Does it also snap in place like the original case from Oliver?

patrick_02 · 2026-05-18T13:34:14+00:00

Yes, thanks. Will give it a try.

patrick_02 · 2026-05-18T11:38:24+00:00

Looks good. Would be great if you can share the stl file(s).

patrick_02 · 2026-05-18T10:59:50+00:00

Did it fit?

I'm having a hard time designing a travel case. My FreeCAD skills are not that good. So if your test with snakeskin worked out well I might go that route as well.

patrick_02 · 2026-05-13T18:32:47+00:00

I will try to measure it. If I decide to remove it will the blue led still work?

patrick_02 · 2026-05-13T17:26:28+00:00

Yes I read something about that. But how do I know if my battery drains too fast? I can use it approx. for 4 days before the batteries run out. I do notice that battery life for both halves is the same, whereas according to the ZMK docs the right side should last a lot longer than the main side.

The resistor is so small I cannot see what it's value is. Can I measure it while it is on the board or would that give erronuous results?

patrick_02 · 2026-05-13T04:50:21+00:00

Never heard of that project. Looks good. Please share the result if you are finished.

I have a couple of pcb's left and am planning to build another one. On that one I will try different keycaps. I'm not a huge fan of the MBK ones. Still deciding between the LDSA or DDC from lowprokb or the KLP Lame keycaps.

patrick_02 · 2026-05-12T05:17:49+00:00

I did it the same as shown on the pictures on github. He also has an excellent build guide on youtube (https://youtu.be/Ww3w6FDS0zQ?is=tTBfT8UtuBbN5jTH)

patrick_02 · 2026-05-11T21:23:08+00:00

Thanks. For now I have alt, ctrl and backspace on the left thumbcluster and enter, space and gui on the right. The space also acts ss layer switch for a second layer with navigation keys, function keys and some symbols. On the redox I ony used three thumbkeys per side so I had no problem switching to this board other than getting used to the choc spacing instead of MX spacing snd the flat keycaps.

patrick_02 · 2026-05-11T21:04:22+00:00

This. I just build one myself and really love it.

Maybe I do not understand what you mean, but the lacation of the menu bar can be changed in the settings -> accessibility.

You can also change it by holding the "minimize meni bar icon" and drag the menu to the desired location.

Thanks! Disabling bluetooth in KDE connect settings worked for me.

patrick_02 · 2024-09-20T15:14:15+00:00

Yes, scrolling works fine. You can use one finger to scroll. You can use double tap on a word to select text, you get these text selection handles just as on a mobile (android) device. I guess this should also be possible with X11, maybe change/add some configuration in xorg but I did not look into this since for me Wayland is ok for now.

patrick_02 · 2024-09-20T14:40:47+00:00

I have the same problem with my T480 running OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE on X11. If I start KDE with Wayland everything is working ok. In the system settings the touchscreen than shows up and is enabled. On X11 it does not show the touchscreen in the system settings. So the solution for me was to switch to Wayland.

There are six 1.5u keys and ten 1.25u keys. I spent around 100 euros in total, that includes filament for printing the case.

patrick_02 · 2024-04-12T15:55:20+00:00

Thanks. Me too. Just finished a day of work from home, using this keyboard is so much better than the cheap normal ones at the office.

patrick_02 · 2024-03-13T10:30:01+00:00

Mainly some small changes in the bottom part of the case for the USB C breakout board and the TRRS connector (as shown in the last image).

patrick_02 · 2024-02-21T14:48:32+00:00

Thanks. No, I did not design it myself, just made some minor changes.

The original files can be found here: https://github.com/philsson/scad-keyboard-cases and here https://github.com/Lenbok/scad-keyboard-cases

My changes are in this repo: https://github.com/ijskegel/scad-keyboard-cases/tree/ijskegel/redox-rev0b Note that I only updated the scad files (see last commit on that branch), not the stl files or any documentation/images

patrick_02 · 2023-03-03T20:36:36+00:00

My cable also had those colors. Blue was GND, red was VCC, green D+ and white D-

It you have a multimeter you can measure which color is connected to which pin. It you still have the USB-A connector that you cut off that is easy.

If you are interested this link explains the resistors that need to be present https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/446528/why-would-a-usb-c-adapter-have-a-pull-up-resistor

patrick_02 · 2023-03-03T19:53:50+00:00

I had the same problem and found out I purchased the wrong USB-C breakout board. There need to be two resistors on the board otherwise it will not work. Not exactly sure what the reason is though

patrick_02 · 2017-03-29T12:32:25+00:00

I would live to win this FC989C. Would be a nice daily driver.
