Most OEM boards are using plate mount switch, since there are plates used.
Yes, u can always change the type of switches u want/prefer as long the pcb are using/supporting cherry mx.
Apparently other "similar" switch like kailh, gateron etc also fit since they look "identically" same.

PC shop has it.

Yes u can change your LED by modding.

Kailh

It is very rare to see korean custom boards that use costar stab, no idea why. Perhaps they feel it is not convenient to remove keycaps i guess?
And costar stabs must be used with a plate ( diff cut out than cherry also), while some ppl prefer board without a plate for distinct original typing feel, so pcb mount cherry stabs are used instead.

The promotion and group buy ended for b-series pcb, now b87 with firmware + rgb elements presoldered and pre-loaded cost about 65usd+
Shipping from S.Korea will be 40usd.

Yes.
For acrylic case(s) u can get together with the pcb.
Others depend on whether u wanna buy together with b87 + case or get from local stores.

I try my best helps to summarize the details of this pcb group buy.

1. Based on GH60 rev.B pcb design with slight "difference or improvement" as he claimed.
2. Added PTC, short circuit protecttion sort of stuff.
3. Support both mini and micro usb header (so u can choose which one to solder on this pcb)
4. Added side SMD LED points, total 19 of them. Size 0805, have an individual switch for side LEDs On/Off (not sure if it is by hardware/software controlled).
5. The rest are blablabla about future support of bluetooth + lithium battery mountings etc.........

PCB colors are to be determined afterward, either black/white.
Group buy closing date = 25 Nov 2014.
Production takes bout 20days,
Estimated shipping out time is mid of Dec.

*Personal advice: this seller/author is not that reliable, he made some short gb for ss plates (glossy type) but 016 received them in seriously bad condition, scratches everywhere.......

If you want another 60% PCB cheap from china i only know one that at least reliable:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z0k...._u=l1pvtgcp4d7c
Not sure if he still got any stock left, i can help to ask if u want.

For bluetooth support, u can consider gon's nerd 60, the latest version one. although korean pcb are expensive generally, but at least the quality is there.
chinese pcb very depending on the "maker" =_=''

edit: the nerd tkl v2 and mobirk also have bluetooth supports.

Haha same here, need to fund slowly for keyboard stuffs with patience.
If u plan to use alu case with bottom mounting points, just make sure the clearance is enough for your lithium battery underneath of pcb.

What u need is a keyset to rock it

previously still have promotion of PCBs with 30% discount, but no ones really want it.
edit: nvm haha
