only1loveIt's definitely worth it, I don't believe you'll be disappointed. I'm in for a turquoise case w/ arrow key layout, and the lightcycle keycap set. I didn't go w/ switches since I have 78g Zealios, green, red, and yellow gaterons (& currently waiting on clears and blacks) from the recent drop. BTW, r4 of Zealios is up too (https://zealpc.net/collections/group-buy-pre-orders), so you can catch a deal on Zealios.

wsjones1981Question, question!
Will Zealios mentioned as being "PCB Mount" on that group buy page work as plate mounted switches for this PCB? Would rather have 67g than 65g if there are no extra steps involved. Thanks in advance.

WaahYou have to clip off the 2 legs on the bottom of pcb mount switches.

wsjones1981Thanks. I'll be ordering some Zealios separately to try them out.

wsjones1981Not if the PCB has holes for the mounting legs on PCB mount switches, which this board appears to have. Maybe Evan can confirm, but from my quick look at the PCB on the description page you shouldn't have to clip anything.

wsjones1981Not really usually. Most PCBs that are meant to be used with plates nowadays still come with the two holes for the PCB-mount legs so that you can use either plate or PCB mounted switches on a plate-mount board without having to make any modifications to the switch.
