Help finding keyboard size

[Octavialicious]

Hey, I am looking for a 60% keyboard with function keys. Something like this:

 

Does it exist?

[Rorgash]

yes, that would be a 65% keyboard (or 70, i forget)  i got one

 

the 60% has function keys, but you use a FN key to access them on the numbers

[laxer]

a 70% (84 key)?

 

Sure they exist, just not a lot of them...

I doubt it, but would one of these be found on amazon?

that is perfect, I just wish it came in green switches. Two uncommon things combined is double rare haha

go for ebay, there are some people shipping from China and the shipping is pretty low really.

 

i bought from this guy, he is well trusted and known in places, and he has quite a few different things up right now and you can contact him if he doesnt have the one you want

Green or Clear, probably impossible

70% with greens your either looking at a custom order from somewhere or building it yourself...

 

In either case, good luck. I have the keyboard in your first post with brown switches and had to wait 2 months for it to get back in stock before I could buy it when it first came out...

 

Mechanical keyboards with specific requirements are hard to come by let alone with something as rare as greens and 70%

Is building it yourself hard?

From the ground up... Depends on your microelectronic skills... (IE soldering mostly)

 

If you can settle for a 60% this kit on massdrop right now is absolutely fantastic: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/infinity-keyboard-kit

I do not know of any that do a 70% sadly...

 

You would be better off on one of the keyboard enthusiast forums asking a member to make it for you I would think...

 

However with that I would expect the cost to be >$200
