Editing Custom Keyboard Construction (section)

===Tray Mount===
A very simple and versatile mount construction is the '''Tray Mount'''. The keyboard case has stand-offs into the case bottom with screw holes. The PCB is sitting on the stand-offs and fixed by screws into the stand-off screw holes. This construction can be combined with plate mounted and with PCB mounted switches. Both the PCB and the plate need matching holes for assembly. Many 60% designs share identical hole locations which were introduced by popular [[Vortex]] 60% keyboards.

* Advantages
** Allows PCB and plate mounted switch placement
** Huge choice of standard 60% components (PCBs, plates, cases)
** Allows the construction of very cheap keyboards
* Disadvantages
** Placement of standard 60% stand-offs offers very inconsistent stability
** Non-standard stand-off placement limits the choice of PCB
** Keycaps must be removed to disassemble the keyboard
** Overall less rigid/solid construction compared to a '''Case Mount''' kit
