Introduction(skip if you don't care)
Lysol here, been working on my ideal 65xt board for the last 9+ months, I made a couple of prototypes with another one
on the way of this version, I wanted to see if anyone would be interested in a run of this design I made.
I like xt layout 65%s but wanted said layout with the 0.75u symmetrical blockers as first seen on the Bauer by Omnitype. I felt like there
was a lack of 65s that had this option and wanted to make/design one myself. which ultimately leaded to the making of... LeFishe

Prototype Pics
this is a previous version of the board, there were some issues I found and iterated on for the final version this IC is for.
some changes include refining the o-ring mount for better o-ring friction on the sides of the inside of the board, changing interior weight
fillets & weight position, and moving weight screws over, and reducing the amount of space beneath the PCB, blemishes on the brass
are from me and ano banding on the right side of the board is a one-off issue just to this prototype.





Disclaimer: screws will NOT be Phillips, Hex machine/countersunk screws will be used.

Special thanks to Pontus & Dudeship for renders, to Sam Buddy/RMI for the initial PCB design,
to Oggi(GMK Taiga creator), Alessio(DCS Pink alert creator), Octix(GMK Apollo creator), and Ella(GMK Moscow Nights creator) for permission to use their sets for renders on my board.
and thanks to everyone that been supporting me in making this design over the 9+ months this was in development

daughterboard files will be open source so easy replacements will be readily available for those that need it via having it made by their favorite pcb fab or going though me since i myself will be stocking them as well.

this daughterboard also uses the same pinout as unified

[nu_types]

Good **** Lysol

[denibhoxha]

i aint even gon hold you bout it chief, this definitely is one of the keyboards of all time

[Extra Fox]

I dig this, I also believe that's likely going to be one of the best lead in images I've ever seen.
I'm going to go out on the limb-o-cringe here and suggest that it would be nice to put a rotary encoder in the top left of the Macro columns. I personally get a lot of utility at having one close at hand.

[PizzaForce]

Colors good, price good, mount good, DB good, layout good. Board is good.

Fixed layout bottom row lets go.

[Kinesiologist]
