Is there schematics of both pcb layouts (iso)?

modding switches with this, wont be possible without desoldering the switch right?

So how much does the 60% loses compared to the 75% layout?completely blind here, but i want to buy a cherry mx compact keyboard with iso layout

edit:nevermind DanielT explained it already.

Yeah, scottc also talked about that group buy, my fear is that my soldering capabilities wont be enough, i only soldered/desoldered alps switches, not controllers or anything like it...

Yeah, i think ill spend more time with these bought a box with 10 or more just for this lol

Thanks, now in another related question, what is a good compact keyboard plate mounted, is the poker 2 any good, i've read these vertex keyboards are not very moddable...

How are the greens compared to the blues?

How the new versions compare? Poker2/Pure Pro/Race 2?

Really? I tried the right ones with the blue stem but it didn't seem to click much compared to a full blue switch keyboard i tried....hummm.....im also considering buying one of these KBT/KBC Pker/Pure/Race keyboards with plate mounted switches to test the switches (and use of course :P), but i don'...

So! Im currently venturing into mx swicthing past the standard stuff(brown,blue.black?) And ive been given some springs and stems, and i need help identifying them since im going to buy more mx switches types for testing. Regarding the pic, the bottom 2 springs are from my g80-3000 linear blacks the...

Where can you buy a fully assembled one?

Yeah, and where would you get the ISO plate btw?

Bought the 19mm key binder clips and i managed to make them work but i think they're still not optimal.

This is on massdrop now? but as usual we have to assemble it.

Are these clicky?

The way I enjoy line...

Yep which might explain the lack of iso key but the iso return one.

Yep we did, lol. Regarding the mx opener tool, i didnt find 15mm paper binder clips, only 19mm but with a little work they might also work. Ill get back when i spend some time with them.

Yeah i can do basic solder. Like swapping switches, but i have only done with alps ones. Let me check on that.

Yeah i do need to find a good compact so one with plate mounted switches.

I haven't had a single plate mounted cherry keyboard, im actually thinking of getting one, and i do like compact keyboards. Need to order switches from 7bit to test all variations, i only know the basic ones, blue, brown and blacks...

Hey thanks! Let me check it out.

Even without removing the switches? i assume this only works on pcb mounted and not on plate mounted?

So i was wondering if there's already any good tool to open mx switches, and where to buy.

suka's pictures are the reference for MKB-84 FX on the wiki; his keyboard is already listed.

But ny FX has the iso key and iso return key.

Keycaps are probably Tai-Hao. Interestingly, I just started a table last night detailing the switches I am assuming to be Himake/Hua-Jie AK series: http://deskthority.net/wiki/Hua-Jie_AK_series#Variants_2 Obviously I've got more to add to it, as well as the second table for the reduced metal varian...

So greens are clicky but the greys are linear?

I'd say funny...

mck with mx switches????

I actually have two minitouch with one being monterey blue switches...
