Title: Keyboards That Offer Matias Switches?
Post by: Encabulator on Wed, 22 March 2017, 10:49:58: I was thinking of getting a keyboard with matias switches but so far the only ones I've seen with it is a planck (not my thing) and the matias brand keyboards. What other ones are there?

In stock there, have to ignore the matias ones

I had the V80 with quiet clicks; It's a good keyboard but the lock lights would act weird sometimes although this didn't seem to actually affect the lock-keys.

Post by: ctm on Fri, 24 March 2017, 08:24:28: KBP V60 and V80 are the only two off the shelf option I am aware of. If you don't mind soldering, TMK Alps64, Infinity 60 and Clueboard PCBs all support Alps/Matias. Infinity 60 also has a bonus feature: because of the tight tolerance, you don't even need soldering. You can just plug in an Alps switch and it will work, making it basically hot swappable.
