Good Case ?
« on: Tue, 13 January 2015, 15:12:28 »
Hi, sorry for that question but
I have find i very cheap key board : http://www.amazon.com/I-ROCKS-KR-6260-BK-Tactile-Ghosting-Keyboard/dp/B00EGSEJFO

I'm wondering if, i can use the case of this keyboard to build a new one ?
And if for exemple this Phantom PCB will work : http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=536

Thank's
Sorry for my english

Well, the keyboard you have right now is fullsize, meaning it has a numpad, and the phanton is a tenkeyless, which has no numpad, so a phantom PCB wouldn't fit into that case

Rebuilding a full-size keyboard to fit the Phantom could be done, but even if the donor keyboard's case is a good fit it is a lot of work. That keyboard does not look like a good fit either - the distance between numeric row and function key row is too small.

Nope. It's a rubber dome board and you'll have no idea if the Phantom PCB will fit until you buy it and take it apart. It's also the wrong size (full size vs TKL).. so just no...
Buying more keycaps,
it really hacks my wallet,
but I must have them.
