Title: Keyboard PCB
Post by: piemancoder on Mon, 28 September 2015, 15:56:52
Is it possible to get a Pok3r / 60% PCB from anywhere, and under $50? No switches or caps, just PCB. Or would it be smarter to hand wire a custom keyboard? Thank you in advance for the help! Also I'm new here, so I might have accidentally posted in the wrong section.

If you're in the US or Canada there are a couple of people selling GH60 PCBs (list here (http://gh60-market.swillkb.com/)), if not you could add yourself to the list (not that it did me any good  :))) They cost $28 in the group buy so well within budget.

A handwire costs much less (assuming you already have a plate...) and works just as well though.

Hmm... This might be a good option. Is there anything that isn't a group buy however?

The group buy took so long (a couple of years) that people no longer want the PCBs - they have them already they should have them soon (EU have theirs, US don't yet)
