Title: PCB-mounted with Cherry Reds
Post by: RSIgamer on Tue, 23 October 2012, 08:46:32: Are there any mechanical keyboards out there that are PCB-mounted and have red cherry switches?

Or am I stuck with blacks, blues, browns?

Thanks in advance.

Most of those should be pcb mounted.

If you don't mind a mini board, you have Poker, Pure, Race. If you need a fullsize 104 look for Cherry G80-3494LYCUS or G80-3800 is also available with red and quite a bit cheaper but it is not as good quality.

Looks like my choices are very limited.

Making ghetto reds with blue/brown board and change the stems to those of blacks or vice versa is quite easy. This also gives you the ability to pick up a used G80 for cheap.

Post by: squarebox on Thu, 25 October 2012, 13:41:46: G80-1865(red) are still available at PC|Home (http://global.pchome.com.tw/english/?mod=item&func=exhibit&IT_NO=DCAH21-A54573819&SR_NO=SBAE0V&ROWNO=7&tm=e). It states it's EU layout. Probably in english. Well, chinese layout is the same anyways, just more etching.

Post by: laffindude on Thu, 25 October 2012, 15:20:11: I been trying to get a 1865 in blue. I may have a source, but I need to go ask. I have too many boards already, but I want to replace my favorite board (1800 in blue, but I want it in USB ;)). If i don't find it, I may need to get that red board and mod it.
