how are you doing those prices including work for those boards? (cool beans though)

this "work" calms me, and i got these boards for 1€ plus shipping.

that does explain something
And I know what you mean; or somesuch: I take pride, joy and relaxation from creating/modding stuff too (the physical parts moreso), absolutely.

Does the pcb needs rewiring after such a mod? I've always thought about doing this to some of my boards, but I'm kinda worried about destroying them.

most of the time, yes.*
might not be needed if the board is nkro. maybe.

just open the baby up and have a look**; see any traces you'd be cutting that actually lead to something you will still be using (like a trace from right arrow to the controller only going through the numpad) those will need a wire.
*disclaimer: all theoretical, only mechanical i've had open is a dell at101w; so reference is very limited. even then the plate is blocking the view of the top half of the pcb so hard to trace properly.
**hope yours is pcb mounted

this kind of board need 3 new lines to wire.
than every key is in original function.
if you would like to mod this model, i could send you a pic.

Actually, the only thing that bothers me is if i can just rip the parts of pcb i don't need, leaving the cut traces as they are.
Deducting from off's post, this is true, however i need a confirmation.

Are there any Skeleton Boards for purchase?

Absolutely, provided the traces that are still present connect all the keys that you do leave on back to the controller.

yes, i got still some boards like the 1st pic in op.

I dont know if I understood well.

Is the case included or not?

no, therefore the name "skeleton". I hope this is not totally off the meaning....

anyone interested in a skeleton board? have no one ready for the moment but could some do for request.

Could offer a board incl. ghetto red mod for 40€ all in all plus shipping.

anyone would like to have a skeleton board?

Sure
