Get an ISO keyboard and enjoy your big Enter.

As big as a tkl, with half of the beauty.

Hey all, for anyone still looking at this dead thread, guess its time for a super belated update  :p

This board has quietly been chugging along in the background over the last year, with a few revisions - the major one being a complete redesign of the weight.

The old weight was pretty boring, and i really wanted to leverage the transparency of PC somehow with the design - which has now been redesigned into this crazy thing

Top down view remains the same though

Furthermore, I thought 'lets have an actual pcb designer make the pcb for this', and now we have a h60-wideboi pcb from Hiney!

Going forward, I've decided to do a small run of these boards in the near future - however I mostly live on discord these days, so if you're interested definitely hop into my server. I will most likely not update this thread much going forward

wew, big fan of the contrast between the sandblasted internal area and polish through section. very cool use of PC's translucency.  :thumb:
