Nice looking, function over form kinda case. Fill out the form and let me know!

Bending would be done by my laser guy, ApocalypseMaow's friend, or if all else fails, maybe samwisekoi.

Would possibly consider running some of these in the more popular GH60 plates? Who knows when some of us will be able to get cases for them...

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing, moose-bro. I can alter drawings if needed.

I don't see why not. GH60 and the poker should have the same sized PCB and USB placement

Should we have a vote to see which of the layouts might get the most purchases? Or would ordering just one be feasible? I have a feeling one order might be more expensive, and the plate I want to run I don't imagine many others wanting (not saying it's not possible). It's the ISO with short right shift. Though I suppose I would accept the ANSI with short right shift, if it got more orders.

I could handle it on a case by case basis. By the way, these will be a for-profit GB, since I don't really need/want one of these cases (serves as incentive for me), I could use the money and because even with my earnings, it still tends to be cheaper than going off and doing it yourself.

Maybe, first class would be around $12 if memory serves me right. Priority would be around $17 if memory.....

Poker and Universal ANSI plate were the most popular ones in the GH60 GB. Since this plate is the case itself, you won't even need those 6 extra screw holes.

Hm, if one were to remove some of the standoff part, you could improve the plastic poker case feel significantly more than just a plated poker.

I certainly don't mind drawing those up, if The_Beast wants to add them. Just know that there won't be any PCB underneath, and you'll have to use the direct wiring method with a Teensy to actually use it.

I know, yet even if the GH60 was very tempting, my "dream" layout would be a 65%. So I want to give it a try. Also, it would probably be a project on the "long term" anyway, so it would be ok anyway. Also, other people might be interested (like the interest shown in the metaliqaz 75% epsilon. And in samewisekoi GH60++ thread he was talking about a "cuttable" pcb. Nothing concrete now but an interesting project indeed  ;D

Have you considered giving it a slope? Since it has no base it'd be real hard to add feet. In order to do this design you'd have to add about 4mm to the back so that the pcb doesn't collide with the rear face.

Something like this :

i saw a prototype of this at samwisekoi's and i really liked it but forgot to ask about it.

the only thing i think should be changed about the basic design is that the 'bottom' edges should be rolled up into the case. I think it would look a lot cleaner than the straight metal edge and it would provide a bit more room to apply some sort of rubber to stop it from slipping. if it's not clear what i mean, imagine looking at the side of the case. the front edge would roll up like the letter J and rest on the rounded part. the back would be inverted like a backwards J in the same way.

anyways form filled, i'd love one of these in either gh60-hhk or winkeyless ANSI (would prefer without 1x between ctrl and alt but if that's not available i'd take what i can get).

AHH! you know what else I just realized would be ****in awesome for this? A set of front/back rails for support and then interchangeable plates similar to the KMAC plate. not sure if that would end up costing more or less but it would be pretty cool to have the option to swap boards in the same case.

Good case idea! I could totally tack some sides onto the plate I ordered to make a cheap case, and remove the sides if/when I get a proper case. :)

This IC isn't for sides that you put on the GH60 plate. This is basically a plate that is bent around to form feet. You wouldn't use the plate you purchased from the GH60 GB.

I want one (uni ansi).

The_Beast, check auto parts places for door edge guards/trim/molding. It comes in multiple colors and cost about $10-$20 for enough to do several of these and would place a nice colored, rubber trim along the bottom to protect peoples desks.

Good case idea! I could totally tack some sides onto the plate I ordered to make a cheap case, and remove the sides if/when I get a proper case. :)
This IC isn't for sides that you put on the GH60 plate. This is basically a plate that is bent around to form feet. You wouldn't use the plate you purchased from the GH60 GB.

Oh I know, I was just saying I could do it to save spending more money (takes away from cap sets). :)

AHH! you know what else I just realized would be ****in awesome for this? A set of front/back rails for support and then interchangeable plates similar to the KMAC plate. not sure if that would end up costing more or less but it would be pretty cool to have the option to swap boards in the same case.

IRC spoke about this at one point... your idea is better I think, but you have no idea how much I wanted something like this avail.

I would be interested in one or two if its the same as the ISO plate for the GH60. Im not all too familiar with cap/key sizes. But I'm used to a long right shift and 1.25 sizes in the lowest modifier row, however the long shift is not a must I think. But I would prefer the same as the GH60 ISO plate..

The dimensions include room for the bends, so the best way to go is to modify one of my DWG files using the Escape key as a locator.

Also, I left the LED hole next to the Caps Lock position, but that can probably be deleted for the GH60.  Do NOT remove the small strengthening braces in the spacebar slot until AFTER the plates are bent.  Otherwise the bending break will distort the spacebar switch hole.

I am also happy to modify or help modify any of the DWG files if desired.

Thanks for the tips. That's actually how I copy and paste most of my designs into others. I pick a reference point, such as the ESC key, and draw a couple lines intersecting at the center of that switch hole. Then copy the existing design, using the center of the same switch hole as a reference, and paste into the new plate. Copy with reference is one of the most-used tricks in my drawings.

Also, thanks for the tip about the spacebar slot. I didn't consider that, but it makes sense. The place where I got my lubing station bent has a machine that uses a press, rather than a pan break, to make the bends. If the spacebar slot needs those braces to strengthen it during the bending process, maybe we should just eliminate the slot altogether.

I didn't use the slot myself, but some people do, and so I put in those bars so that it would survive the break and then be easy to Dremel open again.  One the flange is bent, the switch hole is not going anywhere!

I know this may be surpassing the point of this a bit, but would it be possible to make it so it has more extension so it can be bent one more time to have tabs on the bottom? I was thinking to have some small tabs on the bottom that could be drilled and tapped, and have a 2nd piece of metal that bolts together to comprise a bottom and sides for a full case. I figure this would still be a relatively cheap option while still offering some protection for the pcb on the bottom and sides just in case, or for possible portability.

The guy only has a laser cutter and a break. No drill, no taps so they would have to be taken to a separate shop to be taps (he could more than likely laser a hole accurate enough for tapping) or I could tap them myself. However I've never tapped stainless before.

Oh, well my illustration the top is the side view to explain what I meant by bottom tabs, the bottom would be like front view to show sides coming up. So the bottom would be really simple like just a flat with 2 90 bends for the sides though they would have to be cut with a slope to match the top front to back rise. Then just 4-6 bolts that fasten through the bottom and thread into the top plate piece tabs. I wish I could make a fancy 3D thing to explain what I am talking about but I hope I am making some sort of sense.

Right. It would require about the same amount effort and not too much more in the way of material I guess. If they can't tap, to me that is not a big problem. You could just have people tap the holes themselves, hand taps are not that much.

The double bend is a problem for most breaks.  In practice I have found that the straight edge with some U-channel work fine on a flat surface.

Also, it is really hard to solder the top and bottom row without an overhanging flange.  It would be even harder -- and maybe impossible -- to hard-wire a board with Ivan's overhangs.  Moose's idea would be better for that, but the front would have to be raised, as there is only about 3/16" between the desk and the PCB as is.

I did a clear Acrylic bottom plate under my GH75 prototype that rested on the inner lip formed by the U-channel.  That worked pretty well.

I agree the sides should be open.

p.s.  Hand taps that will cut small threads in SS are expensive.  And prone to snapping.

Yup, bending the sides depend on the break he has, which I'm not sure of


They could be made of aluminum for easier tapping, but is it strong enough samwisekoi?

I think so, and almost said so above.  For sure it would be strong enough for a Poker-sized PCB.

You would have to be very careful not to strip the threads with steel screws/bolts.

Nice looking, function over form kinda case. Fill out the form and let me know!


https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Bdri-LeYy_Dm2pHjWdvdh5qB9k-0klwVWXx90mYDhbo/viewform

Bending would be done by my laser guy, ApocalypseMaow's friend, or if all else fails, maybe samwisekoi.

I also made this kind of case, a skinny one.

I made it /w Aluminium 2T CNC machining + anodizing(customer can choose the color)

Now the sample is in a anodizing factory.
Coming soon. ;)

I think the pricing would be under $80 + shipping.

I will stick with the case design from this thread.
I like the cases/plates to have the switch hole cutouts that allow the switch tops to be removed easily.
None of the Gon cases/plates include this cutout design.

i think this is a really cool idea and i would be down for 1.  i filled out the thingamajob new fangled technological wiz form and such to declare interest.

the gh60 pcb is cool all hell but it is also black. i am not sure black will pop with this case. perhaps i shall seek out one of 'dem fancy white korean pcbs i see floatin around every once in a while. too bad they need 'dem fancy smd soldering.

Except that you really won't see the PCB under the stainless steel plate, so I'm not sure why the color matters... :)

I want a 60% board containing nothing more than a 15x5 matrix of 1x keys.

I really want this matrix design to hardwire with the beasts plate/case design.

i just had a thought. what if you had them scored but not bent? that way you can ship them out flat and then when we get em we can just bend them ourselves? i dont know if that's feasible but if so it would make it so much easier to ship and not get damaged.

16-gauge SS would be nearly impossible to bend yourself, with any kind of decent result. And trust me, shipping these isn't going to damage them. Extremely sturdy, they are, once bent.

hmm, that's an idea, but I'm not sure I like it. It has to be weak enough for an average person to bend, but still strong enough to stand the day to day wear of a keyboard (I don't think it's much, but still


He got a new laser machine, another $300,000 laser cutter. However he's swamped with orders :(


Anyways onto the bending, he doesn't have a finger break, only a die type machine. He's not sure he'll be able to bend them :(. He suggested adding more material for a bigger bend radius or adding perforation so the it will bend easier.

We also talked about aluminum as the material. While it is easier to bend, it can become brittle and crack.


So either I have to find a metal shop around me with a finger break, or get jdcarpe, ApocalypseMaow, or samwisekoi to bend them since they know someone or have bended once of these plates themselves.

I'll be stopping at the laser cutter today to inquire about the bending of this and the lube station

i just had a thought. what if you had them scored but not bent? that way you can ship them out flat and then when we get em we can just bend them ourselves? i dont know if that's feasible but if so it would make it so much easier to ship and not get damaged.
That might be okay for one or two people, but for most, it's completely impractical.

I guess.. for most people, poker layout is the best pick.

Hi all, new member here from AUS. Really hoping for this IC to pick up. I'm interested to get a GH60 as my first attempt at modding a KB. Most other threads i've visited have already closed or ended the ordering period. Want this even more after spending an hour and abit reading about Smallfry.

just to make this clear, you don't get a GH60 here in this thread. if you still want one look in the classifieds since the groupbuy ordering period is closed.
