Title: [IC] Vast60- 60% keyboard
Post by: made in China on Tue, 02 February 2021, 21:40:00
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.

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.

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  :D

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?

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

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

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

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