Help Needed - What PCB, Plate and Case to get?
« on: Thu, 05 February 2015, 22:45:58 »
Hey Guys,

I am having trouble researching what PCB to get for my first custom keyboard. I have had a look at Phantom, NerD TKL and KMAC.

Eventually I want to make two keyboards, but the first will be a TKL one. My inpiration is this keybaord here - https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/3a/2d/37/3a2d37c274e09a3c419f331157751bcf.jpg and unfortunatly I dont know who made it but its what im going for. I think the case is a TEX one and I don't think they make a purple one in TKL  :(

So for the PCB I first had a look at the Phantom with a Teensy on mechanicalkeybaords.com. I really don't know much about this stuff, but is the Phantom with the Teensy a better choice? should I go with something like Gon's NerD TKL (With SMT soldering done by him) to just leave switches and LEDs?

And of course the mounting plate. I'm assuming this needs to be custom made right?

So to sum up I am looking for someone to point me in the right direction. And help is appreciated, Thanks.
