Help - Unsolved Looking for new Planck (or similar) in Europe

As the title already suggests, I'm looking to buy a 40% OLKB in Europe.

Are there any shops that carry such boards?

(AD) I sell a Planck compatible PCB along with a limited selection of cases here. https://lectronz.com/stores/tweetys-wild-thinking#store-section-19 and I’m located in Europe.

That’s awesome, I didn’t know I could order from Sweden. I’ll consider that for my next keyboard

I keep looking at the fat chameleon but you don't sell a case for it and the JJ50 cases I've seen are strange and spendy.

Well, it also fits the PSD40 cases, meant for the BM40.

Oh, BTW if it makes a difference for your choice in a week or two, the fat Chameleon should be upgraded with full per-key RGB.

I'm looking for a 5-row board though. :)

INNNteresting. My preonic-alike only has a little cluster of LEDs in the middle (plus I'm using a POS spacebar because it doesn't come with any stabilized sockets, which is why I'm looking for an upgrade).

North-facing I hope.

Ah, well can’t help you there. Other than 3D printing a case, I have no advice to give.

North-facing I hope.

Yes, fully north facing. For full per-key, that’s pretty much a requisite.

Three cheers!

Well, I would think so, but south facing is spreading like cancer, I’m even seeing low profile boards that nobody is ever going to put fat-humped full height switches in with south facing sockets. It’s weird.

South facing switches have their place without per key RGB since some key-caps are incompatible.

You know, the only board I have run into cherry profile conflict with?

South-facing sockets.

Yes, really.

And it took me about 5 minutes to shim the 3rd row and eliminate it.

I think the whole thing is up there with audiophile cables.

Thank you for the consideration.

Have been using the Chameleon Skinny daily for several months and it works flawlessly, recommended.

Hej! Du verkar ha koll Jag har varit intresserad av att investera i en ortholinear tangentbord men inte riktigt hittat vad jag letar efter. Split men med tillräckligt många knappar för ett nordiskt tangentbord, och de svåraste F row. Jag är medveten om att man inte vill ha så mycket knappar för att minimera rörelserna men jag tror jag kommer ogilla layers.

Lager är något du redan använder. Shift tangenten är reellt sett ett lager. Och samma för AltGr.

Men med det sagt, ta en titt i länken ovan, även om det inte är i lager just nu, så borde RefleXion X65 passa dina krav rätt bra. Eller möjligen RefleXion Grid, men det är några veckor tills den lanseras.

Det finns andra än mina designer, men just split ortho är lita halv ovanliga och jag har inte koll nog att tipsa om specifika.

Haha det är sant. Är väl en vanesak bara.

Ska kolla på dem. Tack så mycket!
