Title: Looking for the right PCB (Dream 60% Keyboard build)
Post by: watsyurdeal on Wed, 03 August 2016, 14:57:49

So far, these are the following things on my list for my dream 60% keyboard.

1. Ducky Doubleshot PBT Backlit Keycaps (will likely harvest them from a Shine 6 if I need to (http://"http://www.techporn.ph/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Ducky-COMPUTEX-2016-3.jpg"))
2. Black aluminum frame
3. Black CNC aluminum case  (may get a wooden case from datamancer)
4. Zealio Switches (either 62g or 67g, have not decided)
5. Nylon USB Cable (Black)
6. 1up Soft Case for Poker keyboard
7. 1.8 mm leds for backlight

So, what PCB can I buy that supports the following

1. Mouse Emulation like on the Ducky Mini or similar to it
2. LED support for backlit keycaps

I'd like to hear the answer of the PCB as well. However I'd like to add that I saw a really nice wooden case on Massdrop that I'm thinking of buying for my build. You mentioned it, so I thought you'd like to know.

what is wrong with a gh60 for the pcb?

Official GH60 doesn't do full in switch LEDs without an add on board, which is not made yet.  GH60 Satan has LEDs but quality isn't guaranteed so it's hard to recommend for a 'dream board'.

so a kc60 then is the only other one i can think of beside custom pcb or wiring

Haven't read much about them either way except they're cheap - sounds like another satan (great while it works)

What mouse keys does a Ducky have anyway, and are they in TMK?  I know EasyAVR doesn't do scrolling...  Not sure what mouse stuff Winkeyless boards support either.

Can you tell I don't use mouse keys? :))
