Alternatives to GH60 Satan
« on: Fri, 05 January 2018, 15:04:57 »
What would be a generally available 60% PCB alternative to the GH60 Satan?

Let me unpack that ... The GH60 Satan is easily available (amazon, 1UP, etc.) for a reasonable price. Sellers ship it quickly and it arrives quickly.

But I am going into my 3rd custom 60% build (the first 2 using the GH60 satan) and wanted to use something else. Is there any other 60% PCBs out there that I can get quickly? Price is not so much a concern, but I don't want to pay more than about $60 USD.  I am more interested in finding something that is available for purchase and ships soon.

Can anyone recommend an alternative within the parameters above?

The DZ60 from KBDFans is the new go-to 60% PCB. The XD64 is also a pretty decent board. You can also find TU60s and GH60 Rev Cs on Taobao.

The genuine GH60 is not fully backlit. If that's OK with you, Techkeys has them.

BTW, I'm typing this on a GH60 Rev C.

I have also learned about the Zeal60 PCB (sold-out at the moment) and they are asking $120 for it.  WTF ... Is it made of gold? Is it worth that much?   https://zealpc.net/products/zeal60rgb

I don't think it will cost that much but:

- individual RGB backlit (takes quite some efforts I may say, as I'm somewhat a PCB designer - a beginner though)
- the Purple color of PCB is custom I believe
- gold plated traces/solder masks are expensive as well
- factory presoldered: RGB LEDs, Diodes, Resistors, Controllers

it can't be cheap  :(
