[GB] S60 HG by Sho - Upgrade Case for the HHKB Pro 2

[hong@RebultKeyboards]

Sho is back with another Topre case, this time the S60 HG, a modern-day tribute to the HHKB Pro HG.

GB Start Date: 6 June 2023

GB End Date: 6 July 2023

Estimate Fulfilment: October/November 2023


Designed by Sho, the S60 HG is an upgraded version of the original S60, with an improved aesthetics and material selection. The complex design of the rear makes it costly to manufacture, but without a doubt it makes your HHKB Pro 2 look like no other.

There will be a battery compartment for use with YDKB bluetooth controllers. USB cutouts will fit both mini-USB or Type-C controllers.

If building with a donor HHKB Pro 2, you will need 58 x 1u housings, 2 x 2u housings from either donor boards, Deskeys or Densus, as this does not come with an integrated plate.

If building with total 3rd party components, you will need a EC Pro 2 PCB from Cipulot, Springs, Domes, 58 x 1u housings, 2 x 2u housings, Sliders and Keycaps.

PSA to prospective buyers:
Group Buys are inherently risky endeavors. There is an element of risk involved with collecting payment before the item has been produced and resulting uncertainty during manufacturing / subsequent operations. We urge all GB organizers to consider (and document) these risks, and want to make it clear to all who consider purchasing that these risks are present.

If you are unfamiliar with the Group Buy model, please read this primer - Group Buy FAQ / Buying Guidelines

This PSA is new and will become standard on all Group Buys moving forward. It is not posted on this GB in isolation and is not singling this organizer out in particular as someone to be wary of.
