[GB] ComPact SQ - 1800 Inspired [COMPLETE]

[popkorn62]

If only there's a TKL version of this!

That makes no sense...

1800 is a specific layout, same as TKL. This keyboard would look extremely odd with the numpad just missing and the arrow cluster sticking out.

I should've clarified...I just want a TKL that looks like that (the plate and case and such...) since I've always wanted a LZ or Duck. I didn't mean to say that I want this one to look like a tkl because yeah that makes no sense lol.

if you like fullsize board with a size of TKL then this is the answer.
leeku compact SQ size is almost similiar with TKL board.

you can see at the picture

Oh haha I just got my first TKL built, I'm enjoying the layout. However I do agree with gadzkun, this is the best option for a full-board layout.

i like full board but i hate the size.

and the price, no need to think twice about it.

That image really puts the board into perspective. It makes me even happier with my choice to get one of these but goes to show how different some of the keys are compared to a normal layout and just how hard some of the keys will be to get as well. I'm super glad I got into the SKIDATA+ GB after seeing this, thanks!

I don't like the numpad to be included with the board that's why . I only like a separate topre numpad <3.

For stabs, I am guessing I can use either Plate or PCB mounted or no? I haven't had to deal with this before as it will be my first build.

Based on pictures I've seen of the acrylic plate and the diagram on the order form for the steel plate, I believe it will only support PCB mounted stabilizers.

[Kempher]

Is it possible to get the width of this keyboard please, looking to get a custom wrist rest made <3.

I'm afraid this steel plate dose not support the plate mounted stabs. sorry.

Leeku,

Can we get the size/specification of the bolts/screws used to hold the layers together? I would like to find some in other colors for my build

PM I recieved from leeku when I asked, I am not for sure which measurement is for which.. I think smaller measurement if you have thinner metal top + bottom but not 100% sure. confirmation would be great.

EDIT: tip for getting coloured hardware look at RC hobby places.. they have lots of anodized screw options in m4-m2 range.

[katushkin]

LMAO. I'm such an idiot. This isn't going to fit in a regular 1800 layout. Sent you a PM leeku about cancelling.

What was your order? it might be easier if someone takes it over instead

Thanks for understanding Leeku!

I didn't even think about the different top plates having different sizes. I actually have a metal top plate coming... So clarification would be great.

Not looking back, but I think he ordered just a pcb or something.

[katushkin]

Yeah I did, it was just a PCB and an ISO plate

This screw on the top is 18mm(15mm is enough though), and the other 10mm is for bottom to Feet.

[jaffers]

When will these ship roughly? Can we get an ETA?

yes I think so since the light stops at the sides

Say I wanted to lube and sticker my switches after everything is assembled. is this possible or do i need to disassemble the board?

So the acrylic and the steel plates do not allow for easy switch removal?

Thanks for the pics. I had to sadly cancel my order. Moving plans always get in the way of new toys T.T
