Case compatibility
« on: Mon, 15 March 2021, 13:40:20 »
Hi, I'm wondering if there is a resource either here at GK or somewhere else where I can get full info as to whether a Certain PCB is compatible with a certain case regardless of the brand.

For example, would a KBD 5° 60% case only be compatible with KBD PCB's or can I use other branded PCB's.

Generally, no.
Pretty much every pcb/case is different there are a handfull TKls that are similar but generally consider every pcb/case to be a matched set.

60% is the one exception, anything Tofu/Poker/GH60/DZ60 based will fit that case (pretty much any 60% will fit).
