TKL with DIP switch
« on: Sun, 17 November 2013, 17:02:55 »
Other than topre boards, what TKL keyboards have DIP switches that will, at the very least, allow me to switch caps and control? Ideally it would just be a simple case and PCB. I see WASD has it but I think I'll get the switches myself. I'd like to take a stab at building my own keyboard.

Ducky has a board only without key switches and keycaps?

I'm also looking for a TKL but with key switches, DIP and without keycaps as I have many keycaps set now. The only vendor I know that does this is WASD but it's in the US and shipping is gonna kill me.

Ducky has gone a long ways in the past couple of years. Currently, they're either on par or better than Filco. It'll come down to whether you have a preference of cherry stabilizers or not.

I'm not aware of anyone who sells a conventional (i.e. not custom) keyboard without switches or keycaps.

Your best bet (apart from buying components and building it yourself) is to buy a cheap keyboard with horrible legends, and simply replace the keycaps.

QFR is cheap and good quality, but many people don't like the keycaps and that is the first thing they swap out.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I really like my Ducky G2pro, even though it hasn't really gone through heavy daily wear as I rotate it looks like new :)

WASD does sell "barebones" keyboards without caps. Not sure what the DIP switches support though.

Since they're cheap nowadays, just get a custom PCB and go to town.
