Revamped Top Mount Concept
This mounting system provides a combination of gasket mount and top mount.
The idea is that the cylindrical rubber gaskets will allow the board's flex to be adjustable.

Flex configuration
Haven60's flexibility can be configured by simply adjusting the tightening of the plate screws, below are a few examples to show the span of possible flex.
Going for high flex requires you to skip case foam. Album here
What's unique is that this flex is not achieved by relief cuts or bending the plate from fixed points.
Here the entire plate is allowed to move vertically thanks to the synergy between cylindrical rubber gaskets on the screws and the top frame gasket.
Which means there is less stress applied to the PCB as it isn't being bent as much.
Maximum flex ~3mm screw distance (m3 screw as reference) | Polycarbonate plate | PCB foam | No bottom case foam
Low flex ~1.5mm screw distance (half m3 screw as reference) | Polycarbonte Plate | PCB foam | No bottom case foam
No flex Screws fastened just until you start gettting a bit of resistance | Polycarbonate Plate | PCB foam | Bottom case foam

FAQ and other information
Does this keyboard include PCB?
No, this case is designed to fit 60% PCB's sized according to the standard poker / gh60. You can have your own choice of PCB as long as its layout are compatible with my PCB plate.
I have test mounted several 60% PCBs during the prototype stage.
Confirmed fits so far:
DZ60 rev. 3
DZ60 RGB v2 Hot Swap
BM60 RGB Hot swap
XD60
H60 from Hineybush
NOP60 from Checkerboards

If the demand is high I will consider PC plate. Will help a lot if you let me know in the IC form.
MIGHTY CHICKEN:
Do enjoy the colors, any chance for a dark green?
antsinyourpants:
Love it! It looks like something from Star Trek. The colours are amazing too. I'm not a huge fan of the 1st Edition plaque though.
