My new keyboard acquisitions have left me wondering what typing on MX Green would be like. I have boards with MX Blues, MX Whites and MX Browns so far. Seeing that I really like the click from my blues, and the force from my whites, the natural next step is to get a keyboard with greens.
Looking for something of good build quality, leds and the like don't matter so much. Preferably a 65-75% board, needs arrow keys. I know that Ducky and CM makes them but I am looking for something a little hardier and maybe with the option of putting on a metal case.
Thanks!

Those are probably the two most popular stock options.
There's no 60%-75% with MX Greens and a metal case. Your best bet in the case is to get a custom and put MX Green switches onto it.

Any tips on good value/quality custom parts around this size?

There's a lot of customs around. Best thing to do is look through the media subforum to see what you like and then see if you can find info elsewhere.

I keep forgetting the 660M has Greens. Thanks!

MechanicalKeyboards.com sells Phantom PCB's, you can get the diodes from mouser and a few other places, even radioshack sells the diodes. The only problem then would be sourcing the switches as greens are a little tough, without looking 7bit on deskthority might have some. The LED's, resistors, and LED holders(if you don't do in switch for the locks) shouldn't be too hard to source.

Phantom PCB won't do you any good without a plate.

And a plate, knew I would forget something. guess he could get an a87 kit from GON and source some greens.

75%? Isn't it a TKL (aka 80%)

My bad. It's a TKL. I guessed at the percent and didn't want to look it up.
