1. DETAILS
The Monorail Keyboard Kit is a ready-to-run V4N or Minivan. This is an FR4 Skeleton Kit that supports Hull or Tray mount, with or without the half-numrow. All Black, with three different layout options. Includes everything you need except switches, stabs, and caps.
Hull mount (four 10mm standoffs on outer edges) yields maximum typing flex and a softer typing feel. Or use the Minivan-case-compatible Tray-mount locations for a sturdy assembly and a traditional feel. You can remove the four Hull mount points from the base and plate by snapping them off. Optionally, snap off the half-numrow for the classic 4-row Minivan form factor, utilizing either Hull or Tray mounting styles.
You can upgrade your build down the road with many available Tray-mount Minivan, Hull-mount Minivan, or Hull-mount V4N4G0N cases. The Hybrid plate included in this skeleton kit is drop-in compatible with many existing and future V4N and Minivan cases.
The numrow is optional? How do I remove it? You break it off like breaking apart a graham cracker, but with a bit more force.
What do I need to complete a build?
Screwdriver
52x MX-compatible switches

Is this PCB and Plate compatible with other cases? Yes! The PCB will drop into many existing Minivan or V4N4G0N cases. The plate included in the kit is compatible with many Tray-mount or Hull-mount MV or V4N cases as well. Check the MiniVan Compatibility Matrix for case compatibility.
