Sadly there are not as many as I think there should be. In addition to the above I discovered recently Dah Yang K-156.

K-156, and there is also this K-159... they really aren't particularly nice and have pretty low build quality. Unless you find one for extremely cheap I really wouldn't go for one of them honestly. Cherry G80 are much nicer and can often be found for under $40 used and $70 new.

Many of the customs can be PCB mount.

Sprit, most likely Duck's lightsaver as well. etc.

I would recommend a G80, though their case construction isn't as sturdy as some, it's usually good enough for a keyboard.


For non cherry MX switches,
There are also some hall effect keyboards and reed switch keyboards that are PCB mounted.

phantom can not be PCB only it requires a plate since it does not have holes for PCB switches to anchor in.

PLUM96 wireless version is PCB mounted.

Though, the one and only flaw to it is the spacebar incompatibility.

Why do you want a PCB mounted board? If it's so you can open the switches easily, a few plate mounted boards allow for that by having extra spaces in the switch holes.

Really? That would be so convenient. Are there any common boards out there that come with this default plate, or is that just for custom keyboards?

Either PCB mounted switches or keyboards with the phantom plate

You can find them on classifieds assembled once in a while. Or you can source the parts and have it assembled for you. Not going to be cheap, though.

If you are on a strict budget and/or need a board sooner than later, you'll probably want to go with one of the boards mentioned earlier in the thread.
My wife I a also push her button . But now she have her button push by a different men. So I buy a keyboard a mechanicale, she a reliable like a Fiat.

The ErgoDox can be PCB-mounted, in the standard layout.

Pretty much all the Cherry G80 series
The recent Cherry G80-3850 ("MX-Board 3.0") is one exception.
