As a classic PCB for many years, GH60 usually be used by Tray Mount. Our team made a small change to the case by changing the top case so that the case could be support more layout. The popular Gasket Mount was used to improve the type of feeling.
In order to meet the needs of some people for bluetooth, we add the position of battery compartment inside the bottom case and add a layer of poron to optimize the abnormal sound.

Layout: HHKB, WKL, WK，Can support 60% series most of layout

Typing Angle: 6°
Construction: Gasket mount or bottom mount.
Because this case is compatible with general 60% PCB,so the basic kit not include pcb,If necessary, you can buy it separately. The PCB will support QMK&VIA.
In addition, in order to be compatible with Bluetooth, we will offer PC and FR4 plate for the material option of plate.

The price
Target price: $145;
The price of PCB is $25.
Kit includes: bottom case*1, top case *1, plate *1, 3.5mm Porpon sandwich pad *1, Porpon gasket tape, sandwich pad *1, EVA portable packing *1, bottom silencer pad, and other accessories

Schedule：
The first batch protype has finished.The second batch of protype will be started soon, and the case color and surface treatment process will be decided by the following IC vote.

The follow-up plan
In order to improve our product series, we will continue to launch the following series of kits in the future. If you have any suggestions, please join us for discussion.

Pretty cool! Looks nice, pricing is reasonable. I like the compatibility with standard 60% pcbs, gives them a good use. Another board that comes to mind that does this is the Brutal60, for example. Thank you for taking the time to get a prototype done. GLWIC!

Some of your images are very small, not sure if that was intentional or an accident.

I don't really understand how this would mount, do you have a diagram or exploded view or something? Looks promising otherwise : )

Very fair price and good job with having a prototype! Not a fan of the aesthetic you're going for but this is definitely something I can easily recommend to friends trying to get into the hobby/can't justify $300+ on a case. GLWIC!

Gasket mount with <200$ price point. That's a go for me.
Oh, and please consider a (dark) purple color

I have no need for any cheap 60% boards but this is interesting. Will be keeping an eye out for this

darthcapn · « **Reply #9 on:** Wed, 03 February 2021, 03:36:34 »

Defo one of the finer 60% cases out there! I am interested in this especially because if the price

This is a cool idea and I like that this case is supposed to support a lot of different kinds of layouts! A little bit confused by the final image you shared with the 4 different keyboards - I'm not sure how those layouts can be supported by the same 60% kayboard. Unless those are just sneak previews of completely different boards?

Genericusername56 · « **Reply #11 on:** Wed, 03 February 2021, 03:58:10 »

Looks great, I'd definitely get this at the price you're estimating.

In fact, it supports more 60% series layouts because the top case is very simple

Love to see cheap options like this pop up. Hit or miss. Hopefully it will turn out good and people will buy it.

can't say no to an inexpensive bottom mount 60%. great price and i like the accent top piece/blocker

I missed out on the Square.X 60, won't miss this one. Hope there will be Navy Blue bottom and e-White top to mix and match. GLWIC

Looks great, especially for the cost.

Please consider an Aluminum plate option too.

this is a nice concept and a very reasonable price for gasket. I will be keeping an eye out

Lenux · « **Reply #26 on:** Thu, 04 February 2021, 11:25:06 »

This is definitely a 60 to buy, the eye reminds me of something but i can't remember.

Anyways GLWIC

Would love to see xd75/idobo support on plate!

FellTattooArtist · « **Reply #29 on:** Sat, 06 February 2021, 15:53:17 »

I am more than interested in it!

Would it be possible to add split-spacebar support on the plates?

Great looking design. I’d love to get one.

Dark / deep purple would be nice indeed. Also having polypropylene / nylon plate options would be very sweet.

LeoZ · « **Reply #32 on:** Sun, 07 February 2021, 18:00:50 »

been wanting to get in on the gasket mount meme for a long time, perfect price point to try it

zoo · « **Reply #33 on:** Mon, 08 February 2021, 01:07:39 »

target price seems low for sufficient QC and also seems low as an incentive for project follow-through.

Bantalope · « **Reply #34 on:** Mon, 08 February 2021, 01:49:28 »

Good price, Clean look, Time taken for an IC.

Lookin good to me, GLWIC!
