Title: Best mac-layout keyboard with Kailh Box Whites?
Post by: grapefruit on Mon, 24 August 2020, 09:38:42

Any good ones? Or should I just go with a Windows one and reprogram?

Unless you're looking for a chiclet style bluetooth keyboard, I say plan to program. You're better off finding a board you can program with Kailh Boxes than attempting to find mac version of box white.

Then again, if you find a mechanical keeb with any mx switch, you could buy it and desolder the cherry mx switches (assumption based on what is normally available) and solder in some kailh box whites (or find someone on here willing to desolder and resolder for you for a minimal fee)

Just swap the keycaps for alt and windows then remap them in system preferences, job done.

Or go for a keycap group buy if you really want cmd and opt keys over windows and alt.
