Post by: happylacquer on Mon, 13 February 2017, 19:53:52: It is possible to do this? I have boards coming for alps64 and am deciding on a MX with a HHKBish layout.... but anything of the sort for repurposing model m (or i guess unicomp too) switches?

Very cool. I wonder if the big surrounding case is necessary or by choice? I will have to look into it :thumb:

The big case is kinda necessary, since the top part is where the controller goes, and the side parts where the plates are secured to the case.

I've seen the picture before but I don't think I've ever seen any info about the board get posted.

If you have, like, $400 to buy one, you must be the premier of something. :?|
