This is kind of random, but, I've been looking at either a 60% keyboard of the Leopold FC660 keyboard, to use as one for my PC when taking it to go as a LAN device. I really kind of like that the FC660 has arrow keys, without using a function modifier, but it's not really much smaller than a TKL. I've also looked at some of the Vortex POK3R keyboards, but to change parts out is kind of expensive. What would I need to program this keyboard? Also, would it have noticeable delay in games? Lastly, I want to use green switches. Do I just search for "plate mounted" MX Greens, and put those in?

SazexaThere are instructions on how to program the board here:
https://github.com/VinnyCordeiro/tmk_keyboard/tree/master/keyboard/s60-x
Under "Flashing your Keyboard." It is very easy once you get it set up. You can also use the examples to create your own custom layout. This PCB can take PCB mounted switches, so if you can find them, I'd get those. It makes it easy to get the switches seated properly to the PCB since there are 2 prongs that go into the board. I can't see why you would have a delay in games. After going with a 60% board, it has become my favorite size and I haven't used a TKL since.
Good luck!
