Title: Unknown TKL kit?
Post by: Badwrench on Fri, 12 February 2016, 11:19:13
I was bored last night and looking around Aliexpress when I stumbled on this kit.  Does anyone know what it is?  Seems like it could be fun to tinker with and build a nice cheap TKL with some clears.  I can't read the chinese in the photos, so I have no idea.


Scroll down under the Satan pcb for the photos.

It looks like that posting only sells the PCB.

If you're interested in a full kit, https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=59887.msg1376465#msg1376465 is a pretty darn nice one. I just got it in the mail the day before yesterday, and I'm really enjoying it.

The 'Statan' boards are supposed to be pretty good, from the little that I've heard from them.

If you scroll down to the product description, there is an option for a TKL kit (pcb/plate/case/cable).  Total kit is $67 shipped to the US.  Only needed items are switches and leds. 

Here are some pics from the sale post:

Huh. Must've missed that. That's a pretty darn good price! Too bad I'm **** broke right now... Spent all my monies on other boards XD
