Cheap hotswap pcb?
« on: Fri, 10 July 2020, 20:17:02 »
Hello :) I think this is where I should post this. I am looking to test out a bunch of switch variations and a switch tester just isn’t quite enough; so I was wondering if there is somewhere I can buy a hotswap pcb for relatively cheap that works. Preferably works with both choc low profile and normal mx style (not sure if thats even possible)

Doing both is not possible.
As for cheap, check out the GMMK, you can get it without switches or caps. You might find a pcb for a few bucks cheaper but not by much and this way you get something you can actually use.

You should also check out the GK61 (non-optical version). It's similar to the GMMK, but it supports PCB mounted switches instead of just plate mounted ones. It's also significantly cheaper iirc.
