Hello,
can anyone give me a list of PCB mounted keyboards?
I wanna get one XD
-
Pretty much all the Cherry G80 series
KBT Pure/Race/Poker (except poker ii)
NEO KB-87
-
Sadly there are not as many as I think there should be. In addition to the above I discovered recently Dah Yang K-156.
-
I stand corrected XD
-
GON.
I thought all of Gon's either had a plate or the case was the plate??

That makes much more sense :P

IKR...
Whats that K-156?
-
K-156 (http://imgur.com/a/fq0dB#0), and there is also this K-159 (http://sandy55.fc2web.com/keyboard/unitek_k159.html)... they really aren't particularly nice and have pretty low build quality. Unless you find one for extremely cheap I really wouldn't go for one of them honestly. Cherry G80 are much nicer and can often be found for under $40 used and $70 new.

Wasn't the first Poker also PCB mounted? (no plate)

Yes, see second post :P ;)

KMAC2 can be PCB mount

Also GH60 I believe.

Many of the customs can be PCB mount.
Sprit, most likely Duck's lightsaver as well. etc.
I would recommend a G80, though their case construction isn't as sturdy as some, it's usually good enough for a keyboard.
For non cherry MX switches,
There are also some hall effect keyboards and reed switch keyboards that are PCB mounted.

phantom can not be PCB only it requires a plate since it does not have holes for PCB switches to anchor in.

Korean customs are expensive as HELL!!
Any particular place to get the Poker 1?
But that thing is so small >.<
-
PLUM96 wireless version is PCB mounted.
Though, the one and only flaw to it is the spacebar incompatibility.
-
Why do you want a PCB mounted board? If it's so you can open the switches easily, a few plate mounted boards allow for that by having extra spaces in the switch holes.

Really? That would be so convenient. Are there any common boards out there that come with this default plate, or is that just for custom keyboards?

Either PCB mounted switches or keyboards with the phantom plate
-
Yeah I want it for the easy switch replacement.
But are there really plate mounted keyboards with that function?

Yes the phantom plates, GH60 plates, sprit's current group buy plates, and some of the other custom plates

I see, but most of those nids assembly right...
I dunno how to solder QAQ

You can find them on classifieds assembled once in a while. Or you can source the parts and have it assembled for you. Not going to be cheap, though.
If you are on a strict budget and/or need a board sooner than later, you'll probably want to go with one of the boards mentioned earlier in the thread.

The ErgoDox can be PCB-mounted, in the standard layout.
Pretty much all the Cherry G80 series
The recent Cherry G80-3850 ("MX-Board 3.0") is one exception.

Oooo how did I forget about the Plum 96?
