HS ISO TKL PCB

V1 Layout - Disclaimer

V1 PCBs do not support full Right Shift (you'd have to build split) and won't fit all cases with flush USB-C ports (such as Kage) due to issues which are fixed in V2. In additon V1 units are considered "B grade" stock because of cosmetic blemishes with the matte black finish.

Broad Compatibility

HS ISO TKL PCB provides ISO users with hot-swap support for F13 TKLs. Primarily GEONWORKS keyboards like Frog TKL, a first in the ISO layout. Most cases that support a H88c or H88nu should also work, like Freebird TKL, HE Kage, KFE CE, TGR Jane V2 ME*, Cloudline, and more.

DB/JST (Daughterboards)? You're Supported

For an additional fee, get a pre-installed JST connector and have us break off the integrated USB-C port in order to support daughterboard design keyboards. We positioned the connector where the h88nu PCB's is for best compatibility. We can't guarantee support for all daughterboard designs.

Customise To Your Heart's Content

The PCB supports both Win Key Less (WKL) and Win Key (WK) tops, and lets you choose between stepped/full Caps Lock, and split (1u + 1u)/full Backspace. For however you want to build your TKL.

You're In Control

Open-source keyboard software, Vial is supported by this board. It's compatible with QMK too. Your shiny new PCB will be tested by us and pre-flashed. Just install Vial, configure as you wish, and off you go! We've done the hard work, you don't have to.

A Dream Made Reality - Origins of HS ISO TKL PCB

The origin story for this project is a frustration over ANSI users always enjoying hot-swap, and ISO layout users (the regional standard for keyboards in the UK and Europe) always had to "settle" for solder only. We grew tired of that second class treatment and wanted to change things. HS ISO TKL levels the playing field. We love our big enter keys.

Important Notes

When building your keyboard, support the hot-swap sockets from behind as you push switches into them. Building with the PCB and plate resting against a desk or table surface is ideal. Be warned that failure to support sockets may cause them to tear away from the substrate and potentially destroy the mounting position.

We cannot guarantee compatibility with every keyboard kit on the market. Even if your case supports it, your plate may not. Issues could arise depending on your specific kit.

* = Monokei's Jane V2 ME is supported. Other editions of TGR Jane are not supported.

JST units will not have the USB-C port attached and can only be used with JST/DB design cases, not integrated connector cases. However, USB-C only cases can be converted to JST using the included through-hole solder pads orJST-SH connector pads (not populated by default).
