I went with the small size for a couple reasons.
...
They are currently available from techkeys.com, though the site currently appears to be down for maint.
I found them on techkeys.us which is not down, glad to see they're still available as looks like a lot of work went into something so small
I guess they're meant to be used with modded switch tops so you don't need to remove the LED either?
What I was meaning about size though was the actual keyboard - I've always used a full-size standard layout but could I be just as productive on a TKL, 60% or even 40%? Should I stick to QWERTY or use another layout? Not to mention switch and keycap types... There are so many combinations and the only way to be sure which I prefer is to try them all.
Sadly I did not win the Christmas lottery so I can't just buy one of everything, I need to find a "cheap" way to do this. When I was looking at audio stuff I bought used and sold on what I didn't like for minimal loss, but you guys don't seem to sell your random group buy keyboards so I'm limited to gaming boards on ebay which only covers the switch and keycap profile parts. I'm also in the UK so import tax is an issue...
In this situation I'm not looking for LEDs, tidy wiring, or a pretty case, just some usable plate mounted removable switches to experiment with. Short wires would mean I'd have to be careful not to damage the wiring when popping a switch out so a big mess of over-long wires would be easier - but is interference going to be an issue?
