Hi all,
As there are not that many 65% ISO Hotswap 2.4GHz custom mechanical keyboards, I thought I would create a thread to keep track of them. I was already bookmarking all the ones I found, and hopefully keeping track of them here will help more people (and let me discover keyboards that I had missed).
Zoom65 (https://meletrix.com/products/zoom65-v3)
QK65 (https://www.qwertykeys.com/products/qk65-v2?variant=44159347228915)
Neo65 (https://www.qwertykeys.com/products/neo65-1?variant=43882014900467)

As much as I would like to add it, I don't see ISO layout support on that board.

It's a GB, but hey, it checks all the boxes: Tess65 (https://divinikey.com/products/divinikey-x-modo-tess65-keyboard-black)

Looks like we have a new one: Fox65 (https://chosfox.com/products/fox65-qmk-via-mechanical-keyboard-kit)

Does the Lucky65 support ISO layout? I can't seem to find any spec or pic that shows that.

It's great that you're compiling a list of 65% ISO Hotswap 2.4GHz custom mechanical keyboards! These types of boards are becoming increasingly popular due to their versatility and wireless functionality.

New GB, this time from Velocifire: KV1-65 (https://www.velocifiretech.com/products/gb-kv1-65-mechanical-keyboard)

Great list, thanks for sharing! I've been looking for a 65% ISO hotswap option, and this is super helpful. Out of these, do you have a personal favorite or any thoughts on their wireless performance? I’ve heard good things about the Zoom65 but haven’t tried it myself.

As always in this hobby, this is a matter of preference. From this list, my favorite is probably the QK65, but lately, I have enjoyed the Luminkey65 quite a lot.

Not exactly an orthodox 65%, but close enough: POLYGON-7 (https://d-r.works/products/polygon-7-keyboard-kit)

One more from QK: Neo65 CU (https://www.qwertykeys.com/products/neo65-cu-custom-mechanical-keyboard)

Does the Lucky65 support ISO layout? I can't seem to find any spec or pic that shows that.
I have a Lucky65 in ISO format.
My only current issue is that the left shift comes in long size (2.25). The PCB has positions for short shift + "|" key, but has no hotswap sockets soldered in for them - it just has a central hotswap socket for the long left shift key.
I've desoldered the long shift hotswap and soldered in new hotswap sockets for short shift and "|" key, my only issue is that the "|" key is being recognised as another "z". According to my multimeter, the two switches are not wired the same way. I just need to work out how to alter the via json to map it correctly.

You may want to reach out to the vendor and/or manufacturer as that is quite odd, mine had the correct hotswap sockets right out of the box.

Where do you buy the lucky65 v2 iso plate with small left shift? I don't find it anywhere. Thank you.

I bought mine at DeltaKeyCo, but they no longer sell them. You may want to contact other vendors, like CandyKeys or CoffeeKeys.
