We continue our quest for making PCBs compatible with old
and non-standard boards. After difficult projects such as
OTD and Duck (Jetfire & Black Bird) and many other
revival projects that weve done in the past, theres probably
not that much left to tackle, but theres one thats always
been on the back of our minds: an Exclusive E6-V2 compatible
PCB.
We initiated this project in early 2020 and
finished drawing up a basic design soon after that. The
special (and difficult) aspect about the E6-V2 PCB is that
it has a non-standard switch spacing on the custom PCB
version with a middle USB connector. There was another
version with standard GH60 footprint, and since its
standard, it is not the subject of this project. To be clear
again, only the Non-standard E6-V2 PCB with centered USB
port will be made.
Interestingly enough, we were
recently asked to look into an UTD 356mini compatible PCB,
and found out that it has the exact same switch spacing as
the E6-V2 PCB that wed been working on. The main differences
are the spacebar stab orientation (south on the E6-V2 and
north on the UTD) and USB connector (Type-C for E6-V2 and
Mini-USB for UTD 356 Mini), and based on community responses
from the
INTEREST CHECK, we will offer two separate versions for each board.
A
question we get asked a lot: WILL THE UTD 356 MINI PCB WORK
WITH OTD 356 MINI? We were desperate to put this to test but
we simply couldn’t source a OG 356 mini Plate for proper
testing. We sent the PCB & Plate files to several
community members who have their own iterations of the OTD
356 Mini measurements, and though things seem to check out,
that’s not enough to confirm compatibility.
WHATS AVAILABLE
- South-facing spacebar PCB with underglow RGB (made for E6-V2)
- North-facing spacebar PCB without underglow RGB (made for UTD 356 Mini)
- NO PLATES in this GB. We will make the plate files for both the E6-V2 and UTD 356Mini available for the public instead.
