Mechanical GameBoard - are there any?

[sharknice]

I have always been interested in game boards because the keys are laid out straight and it should be more ergonomic for playing games but it has always turned me off that they don't use mechanical switches.

Something like the one pictured above is what I am looking for but with mechanical keys.

I searched all over the internet but couldn't find any mechanical ones. Does anyone know of any?

I would imagine there is not a big enough market for anyone to produce a product like this with mechanical keys.

I don't think the market is very big for these in general... let alone mechanical. There hasn't been an update to the G13 or the Nostromo N-52, and those are years old.

Don't get me wrong... I love my G13. But, I wouldn't mind seeing an updated newer model.

I modded my N52. Not an easy mod though.

That's pretty cool. How do you like it now that it is finished?

I have been considering building my own but know it would be a ton of work building out the mounting plate, circuit board, and doing all the soldering.
