Hi there guys,
I've bee lurking for a while and adventuring myself on buying some stuff.
I've got a 60% about a week ago, and even though i loved the poker layout, after looking around a bit, I really liked the idea of the Tada68, but with two 1.25u keys on the right of the space bar and a small empty space before the arrow keys.
I started getting quite some interest on building my own 60%, and thought that would be a nice one. My question is what is the best pack of case + PCB to achieve this layout? If I get the parts of the Tada68 I'll be able to put this layout? What you guys think is the best to build this?
EDIT: Better description of the layout i really liked: The up arrow key ocuppy 1u of the shift, making it 1.5u?(i'm a noob, i'm not sure :)).
I think a good example for this layout would be the alt?

But i quite don't have the money for it, that's why I would like to know good examples to build one for a cheaper price :D
Thank you in advance :thumb:

Perhaps you'll like the va68? I'm not 100% of what you're going for, but this seems to fit your "small space before the arrow keys" criteria.
I also know there are a few pcbs floating around that match this case, so you could either build your own or buy prebuilt.

Oh, that's definitely an option. I think i missed some details actually, sorry, will edit.

Tada 60% is a great option, you still can refer to Varmilo 60% build. They are all so good.
