I would like to build my first keyboard, but I feel like the DIY-kits available don’t let you get your hands on the keyboard enough. For instance, I looked into the M1W barebone as it checks all the criteria I have (I would prefer a 75% board, with a knob, and wireless option), except the only thing left to do is to plug-in the switches and put on the keycaps.
For example, the Zoom 75 is something I feel would suit me, but it’s 200$, not counting the 60$ shipping, and it’s “only” the board, so I need to buy the switches and the keycaps as well.
I saw the “Practice 75” board, which is nice, but for example there isn’t the knob and I would need to solder the switches to the board.
Is there a board out there that would ticks all the boxes ?
Thank you in advance for your answers !
Thats more down to the case and plate than the PCB, you either need a case that supports multiple mounting types like carpool (https://github.com/dingusxmcgee/Carpool) or completely separate cases. For carpool you use the same PCB for all mount types and just change the plate.
