I had an idea of building my own Full Size ALP SKCM Blue mechanical keyboard using a Matias Tactile Pro PCB and custom full size keyboard case. I wonder if someone have same idea as me.

I had look at Nathan Kim's LZ CLS keyboard with ALP blue which give me a possible to make one with ALP SKCM Switches.

(I don't like 64% layout as I prefer a Ginormous size keyboard. )

Alps mods are pretty common. One thing to note is that newer boards use RoHS solder that doesn't melt or flow as easily, so, you'll have a heck of a time desoldering the old switches. But this should work just fine.

Yes, but they only did it on either 60% or Tenkeyless (87key). So I am not sure if there are any custom case that will fit into a full-size Matias Tactile Pro PCB.

Fair. I understood "custom" to mean "I'm building one myself" by the OP.

Leeku 1800 PCB


Leeku 3000 PCB


Not that I know where to get them now, perhaps some Korean connection?

Your best bet would be /MM.

Those can only fit a Cherry G80 Case is it?

pls ;_; it's Alps like Cherry, not CHERRY

Well, I guess alp deserve all cap because they are the best mechanical switch in the world. I cannot believe gamer have to use a Cherry MX and Rubber dome like Logitech G15 or any early gaming keyboard for gaming when Alp are much better.
