I want to order two GH60s, but can't decide which obscure switches to use

For the price of GH60 & Caps & Stickers & Accessories you could feed an African family for 7 weeks.

What would they do after the 7 weeks was up?

SmallFry · « **Reply #3 on:** Fri, 29 March 2013, 18:07:29 »

Buy more GH60's.

Also, you can get them for pretty cheap depending on how you pull strings.

SmallFry · « **Reply #6 on:** Fri, 29 March 2013, 20:21:41 »

Work for them, trade, solder, etc. My budget for my GH60 is $50.

That comes with switches and case?

I've had switches for a while; the case I'm going to build out of wood or plastic stock we have at school.

Breakdown...
Case: Free/minimal cost, build it myself
Plate: Free (maybe), solder some stuff, have someone buy me a plate
PCB: Free, Help out AKIMBO get his KMini back
Switches: Free, I have them handy
Stickers: Free, I have these handy also
Lube: Free, also handy
USB Cable: Hopefully from MiMiC or buy some parts to make my own.
Keycaps: Likely a Flynn MY7000 set, with a Moogle/Tsangan depending on layout.
So, almost totally free. 0.o I feel like a freeloader.

Klaxon will never be truly finished. It's entered the culture of GH as far as I'm concerned, like PING and oneness of cup rubber before it.

Have to buy custom keyboard to use up excess switches.
