Title: Looking for 60% PCB/Case advice
Post by: krbuck on Mon, 12 October 2015, 16:57:09

Hi guys!

I want to put build a Pok3r layout keyboard using my new purple switches: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=74807.0;topicseen (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=74807.0;topicseen)

I'm looking for advice on the best PCB to use; its got to be available. I really don't want to wait months for the next group buy. :) I prefer pre-soldered resistors and diodes, but I can do them if not available; i'm not sure about LEDs yet. I'll be using a plate. Colors are nice, but not necessary.

It seems like case options are opened up a little lately, but I'm probably going to go with something metal or at least heavier than acrylic - TEX-like....

Thanks for your thoughts!

you could get one of these PCB's and you might check out their other parts they sometimes have tex cases https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1351 (https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1351)


 
there was also just a group buy for some pcbs and plates you might check for extras https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=73666.0 (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=73666.0)

You could post a WTB for a GON NerD60 pcb or a GH60 pcb.

That's a good link Ray posted too.
