Hey everyone! I've been looking for a 5-pin/PCB mount, hot-swap, TKL or full size keyboard.
So far I have found:
-Womier K87 - TKL
-Keychron K8 - TKL
-Keychron K10 - Full-size (not sure when this will release)
-Mostergear Alu XO V2 - TKL (sold out)
Anyone know of any other options?
Thanks in advance!

Then they will design a better fool.
One of the reasons I haven't gone out and bought a GMMK is because of the compatibility. I don't like the idea of snipping plastic pins.

No, I think of it more as, "Why buy a keyboard where you have to destroy switches to make them fit?"
If I had a bag full of your favorite switch that had chunks taken out of them and another bag that didn't, which one would you buy?

What?
Any PCB that doesn't support 5 pin switches is just a poorly designed PCB. 5 pin switches are better for alignment in all boards, and a complete necessity for plateless builds.
It's fine if you don't mind the extra work, but that doesn't mean it isn't a design flaw.
