I'm planning to order a m60-a when it's available in march and am trying to order my switches (and stabilizers?) beforehand so I get everything in before the case arrives. I got some questions regarding that:
- will zealios fit the hot swap pcb, which the m60-a uses?
- which stabilizers should I get - do I even need any?
- zealios 67g vs zilen zealios 67g?
thanks for your help!
Not sure what PCB the M60-A uses - I see a picture of a keyboard that looks like a HHKB layout on RAMA's facebook but nothing else, so I'll keep it general.
Basically any key that's bigger than 1.75u and smaller than 3u needs a 2u stabiliser. On a standard ISO board that's one each for backspace, right shift and enter. For the HHKB layout you would only need one for Enter and one for left shift. Or you could probably have a hybrid with an ISO left shift, PCB permitting (most PCBs support ISO) or a standard backspace... the joys of a custom board
In addition to this if you're planning on having a big space bar you'll need either a 6.25u (standard) or 7u stabiliser to match, or if you go for a split spacebar you'll need two more 2u ones.
Zealio pins are standard size so should fit the hot swap sockets.
I won't comment on choice of switch as that's personal preference. Unless someone who sits near you would like your board to be quiet...
