Looks good, what type of mounting system is this? And does the case support standard 60% PCBs?

IOVERCALLHISTIOCYTES · « **Reply #2 on:** Wed, 30 September 2020, 11:12:57 »

Stabilizers are pcb mount or plate?

The_Boom_Boy · « **Reply #3 on:** Wed, 30 September 2020, 11:35:49 »

This looks great.
Kind of wish there was a standard winkey but I'll definitely try and pick up a winkeyless.
I guess it doesn't fit the name.
Interested also to see a few more specs, as in front height and centered usb or not.
But in any case looks goood!

This is kinda neat, I like the price point. Would like to see the internals and the bottom if at all possible! Curious how big/small the bottom piece is if it's gonna be all copper.

The designer already ended the gb in China so I can tell you that it is a full bottom brass piece

love that it's a simple top-mount, wedge-shaped 60% at a great price, and the copper bottom is really neat too. is there going to be a unit limit on this gb? and, as asked earlier, will this be compatible with standard 60% pcbs? and will you release the plate files after the gb? if yes to the last two questions then getting this is pretty much a no-brainer

Also interested in knowing this, and whether you'd share the plate files later on.

Rafa_n · « **Reply #9 on:** Wed, 30 September 2020, 15:56:32 »

yes, I would like to get 2

First of all, cheers for the price point.
Would love to know more regarding the internals.

Second, cheers for the FR-4 plate option!

PS: As much as I love gasket mounts and [insert trending buzzword keyboard feature], etc; it is kinda refreshing to see an keyboard without those bells and whistles with a great price point!

CustomerSupport · « **Reply #11 on:** Fri, 02 October 2020, 02:22:27 »

I would definitely be in for an e-white HHKB layout. Case looks great, and price point looks even better

Nonnegaard · « **Reply #12 on:** Fri, 02 October 2020, 02:51:52 »

im getting one. its always nice to have a decent 60% case to plop a spare pcb in.

nappis · « **Reply #13 on:** Fri, 02 October 2020, 06:26:05 »

I'm interested if this supports standard 60% pcbs

Sandy · « **Reply #14 on:** Fri, 02 October 2020, 21:46:51 »

I see the fr4 plate and i t looks like it supports iso and split backspace but not split spacebar.

Is the plate in the render the actual plate? I know that's a really simple question just wondering if the message was accurate

Is WKL 60%? Sorry, I'm new.

wkl can be any size, it's short for winkeyless so it literally means there are (typically 1u) blockers where the windows keys would be

Really interesting board for an interesting price. Question, however, is there a way to get the bottom without the engraving or do all the boards come with the lettering?

Absent a custom-made (read: you do it yourself) weight, I'd wager the answer is "no".

all the boards come with the lettering

Figured as much, thank you for clarifying though. Can't wait to see how the board turns out!
