Is there any programmable keyboard with quiet Matias switches?
« on: Sun, 18 October 2015, 07:34:14 »
Hi all,

I have been trying to find my ideal keyboard but have had no luck until now.

My idea is to use a layout in which the fn keys would be at both sides of the space bar.
It's important for me that the keyboard is programmable and I have a 60% layout or something like the Matias Mini pro that adds the F1-F12 keys.

Is there any 60% programmable keyboard with quiet Matias switches?

Thanks for your help

The Infinity keyboard, which is sold on Massdrop, is fully programable and can come with Matias switches. It is a 60% board.

If possible, I would like to avoid needing to solder. Would be my first project and donīt like messing something like this.
Was looking into one of those adapter by Hasu as well...

Soldering a keyboard is pretty easy to do and hard to damage if you do it wrong, but if you're not up for it there are people on here who will build it for you.  I think custom build is going to be the only way to go as Matias switches aren't widely used (sadly!)  Well, that or buying a Matias board and using a USB-USB adaptor...

Where in the world are you?

Thanks a lot guys. Will have to try it that way then.
I live in Ireland. I think there are not many European shops for this, but will have a better look to check my options

So close yet still full international international prices for postage, I could build one for you but it might be 20€ to send it on :(

You could also check the classifieds here - you never know what will show up.
