Title: Is there somewhere a TKL keyboard (Filco form) with PCB mounted switches?
Post by: G.C.W. on Fri, 05 October 2012, 14:24:13: Just wondering. I don't know a single one. All TKL's are plate mounted, or not?

If you really don't like the plate, you can desolder all the switches and take off the plate.

You will find PCB mounted switches in the Pokers and KBT Pure. For larger form factors they are most often found in Cherry (and other OEM's) SPOS boards. The nice SPOS boards, however, are usually reinforced with a metal slab on the bottom. So, not plate mounted, but still a substantial board.
