This should be very popular. Spec wise, this is better than other 60% fully programmable keyboard drops previously available on MD (KC60, Infinity). But, only 18 buyers after 3 days?

priyadiI'm also confused about this, but it's probably the same reason I haven't bought in yet. Pricing is wonky. I just got the same plate from MD a month or so ago, but I can't opt out of that here. Cutting only $6 each for switches and case seems a bit crazy. Those of us who are interested in a DIY board are pretty likely to already have those parts lying around, I know I do. Really I just want the PCB and PCB mount stabs. If I could get those for even $60 + shipping I'd probably jump on it.

EliNJump. With LEDs even. Search for GH60 on your favorite auction site.

manapuaCan you recommend a good source for PCB mount stabs? That's been the hardest part for me to find.
Edit - Nevermind. I don't know why I've never turned to ebay for keyboard parts... you've blown my world wide open. Thanks, stranger!

manapuaThanks for the tip! I had been wondering where to go for a GH60. As others have said, I never would have thought of going to someplace like eBay for custom keyboard parts.
BTW, I've heard that TEX and KBP may be introducing fully programmable keyboards in the not too distant future.

HypersphereSo, I looked into this. The GH60 on Ebay is not the original, it's made by a company or brand or something called SATAN. There's a GH thread about it. Seems like some people have had trouble with the original firmware, but this Imgur guide goes through how to get it working. Summary: seems like a cheaper option but at the cost of being even more DIY and possibly requiring some community software and technical knowledge. Pros and cons.

EliNThanks for the update on the GH60 clone. It looks interesting, although the name they chose is weird. I'd prefer not to have evil lurking inside my keyboard!
