Interested! 60%+Arrow keys layout, Bluetooth plus USB C plus QMK is a winner for me.
I'm a bit afraid that you want to much for this case.Every compatibility has disadvantages.For example the bluetooth integration is something I don't like because it needs a hollow space for battery and I won't use it.Not sure about the double-mount. Best case it's just a bit more expensive, but perhaps there are other compromises to be made. The design is so great and I hope it doesn't suffer to much from all this.I would be happy if it was just an ordinary top-mount (or even tray-mount only) case.
I also don't care for Bluetooth. I embrace the wires!
Hey! I was curious about something. Does the case have standoffs for tray mount? Because I saw this picture of the mounting setup:https://images-ext-2.discordapp.net/external/UWOQGWHH4f3d4_2EW5hR9wfE83tA0zIwmy4SW5WM8-M/%3Fwidth%3D828%26height%3D444/https/media.discordapp.net/attachments/489587683744677899/491242913058127883/unknown.png?width=746&height=400Assuming there are standoffs for the tray mount options, why even have the two options? Because the standoffs, even without screws in them, will impede any flex that'd you'd get from the top mount option. Just curious if there was a reason for it?

Just curious if there was a reason for it?I think the standoffs could be sitting a bit lower than the top mount pcb position so that you could still have most of the flex if you choose top mount.

Just curious if there was a reason for it?the top mount option is for those who assembing a new board, and the tray mount keeps compitable for those who want to move his assembled boards to this case.My vision for G60 is that I will make it some kind of a "Standard Platform," not just one keyboard. A "Platform" that we can try using mutiple combinations of PCBs, switches and plates on it. you can easily move your favourite assembled 60% PCB/plate to a G60, change your mini-usb board into type-c via a G60 case, swapping springs to get fresh new experience. I'm hoping a G60 will be a playground for your imagination and creativity with custom keyboards.

Can we get a MAO finish for off-white?
For the case.
I can't wait to see it.
Quote from: switchnollie on Wed, 12 September 2018, 23:10:48Is there anywhere to see all the possible layouts?The current plan is to allow layouts similar to XD60, Scott shared this layout image with me. We will update when the new PCB comes in! (Attachment Link)
Is there anywhere to see all the possible layouts?
What are examples of 60percent boards that would fit the case? Any hotswappable 60percent pcbs that would definitely fit the case?
Just got this today! 1.5kg, will try to build it later. Sadly only tray mount (Attachment Link)

Really hope the new PCB supports split space. I really feel like this board could be ideal for it in terms of the smaller form factor and use of additional layers
Is there an approx. Price?Sent from my MIX using Tapatalk
so into this. This is my endgame case!
Image Gallery for R1 version, R2 will be much improved!! Prototype done soon.https://www.zfrontier.com/post/detail/5825
