  • My Filco Minila holds a special place in my heart so I've continued to mod it despite having boards much better and more expensive, it truly is a board that I can never let go of.
    Here I show you what I think will be the last mods that I'll be giving the board for the TLC that it deserves.
    Thanks for watching!

    I am too scared to leave hot-swappable :D Really nice to see a detailed build of a solder. thanks

      Honestly if it wasn't for the fact that my friend gave this to me, I wouldn't have done it.
      But since a lot of board makers don't have hotswap iso options, I'm really glad I learned how to do it.

      hey man, honestly this is the best compliment I've received on any of my videos, truth is I definitely have the passion to make the videos just not enough time and even money, although, I have another keyboard video coming up soon and a couple trips planned where I could possibly make vlogs.
      Thank you so much for the comment

    Is it possible to map the fn key to be something else? I want a keyboard with a small spacebar that has room for an extra modifier key (super or altgr) that i can press with my thumbs.

    Quick Q, how did you initially have a ISO short left shift?
    I've always wanted a keyboard with a JIS bottom row but an ISO left shit and / key!

    • @goatphew

      The plate isn't multilayout so I don't think you'll be able to do what you're looking for on this board.
      I didn't say this in the video because I didn't think a lot of people would notice, but I basically had to buy another board because I damaged the one that my friend gave me while soldering, so I used the plate from the new board that changed the layout, was able to get it for cheap off ebay.

    What did you do with L shift?

    • @goatphew
      @goatphew  6 місяців тому

      To be honest, I didn't think a lot of people would notice the L shift change, but truthfully, my friend gave me the JIS one (you can see in the ig post) and I had attempted the resolder soon after, I didn't do a great job, infact I damaged the board.
      So I bought a second hand one off ebay which was iso and only now did I get the energy to fix the original board that my friend gave me. Luckily filco made the multilayout pcb, all I needed to do was replace the pcb and keep my old plate.
      I tried to put it in the video but it just made it too long.

    This is solid board, i have one and like it. Sadly i sell it because 1u backspace and annoying japanese r1 modifier.

      Wait, we can't remap it to the other key? Thought it has a dip switch

    • @goatphew
      @goatphew  6 місяців тому

      I''ve been using powertools to change the keys that I need but while the dip switches are quite limited, I still use two of them @@davidchandra8722
