Are there any 65% Hot Swappable RGB pcb's (ISO layout)?
« on: Fri, 29 November 2019, 11:46:21 »
QUESTION:
I need help to find a 65% hot swappable rgb pcb with ISO layout.
-
I am new to custom keyboards and my soldering skills aren't any good, so that's why I need a hot swappable :)

That's a lot of requirements, are you undecided on your switch choice or just avoiding soldering?  Soldering is not hard and a keyboard is a pretty easy first project, or you could get someone to do it for you (online or off, depends where you live)

Check out the CU65 that's launching on Dec. 1st. https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=102859.msg2820386#msg2820386. It is the only board I know of that will fit what you're looking for. Personally I prefer soldered boards, but will be getting one to use as a test bed for switches.

Yeah, i know it was a lot of requirements, I basically took a shot in the dark. I just want something quick, but after seeing how hard it is to find exactly what I want, I think it will be faster to just solder it myself.
Yes I have decided on the switches I want. It's the cherry mx speed silver switches.

Just really like the convenience with hot swaps.

If we remove hot swaps from my requirements.. Are there any pcb's with that?
Thanks :)

If this ships to Norway I will heavily consider it. But, if it doesn't I will try and solder myself.

I see it won't come with soldered rgb lights but it does support smd rgb led's. Would you be so kind to link me to the correct ones. Would be much appreciated! <3
