Title: TKL keyboard with matias switches?
Post by: keyhopper on Sun, 22 February 2015, 12:31:12
Hello GeekHack!

I want to try the Matias switches (either the Click or the Quiet Click), but I can't seem to find a matias keyboard with a plain TKL layout.

I'm not satisfied by the layout of their Mini line of keyboards:

        Matias Mini Tactile Pro
        http://matias.ca/minitactilepro/mac/

        Matias Mini Quiet Pro
        http://matias.ca/miniquietpro/pc/

I don't like it when a keyboard requires you to press FN to use Ins/Home/End. I use a lot of keyboard shortcuts and really want those keys (the navigation cluster).

I also really like the looks of the KBP V60 with matias switches, but I don't think I could use a 60% kb as my daily driver.

So, does anyone know of a plain TKL keyboard with matias switches?

Cheers!

Beyond customs, I don't know of any.  Like you, I'm just waiting for someone to produce an Alps TKL board.  Filco and Ducky both did years ago but discontinued them.

KBParadise is going to put out a Matias version of their V80 pretty soon. If you can wait a bit, that's probably your best option.

I thought that was more of an interest check?  Have they confirmed they're going to be doing them?

That's good news, thanks!
