I have to choose whether i make the original HHKB layout or WKL.. what do you think?

If you had to choose one, the HHKB layout option will probably be more popular.

I would be a bigger fan of the WKL, HHKB layouts seem a bit saturated right now with the Rama M60 and Tokyo60 boards just having finished up.

There are very few MX compatible True-Happy keyboards, if any. I just can think on the Tina-A. There have been many M0110 style boards, already. Therefore the True-Happy is a more innovative option for the Fusion60.

I never found the true mx compatible HHKBs look that good tbh due to the lack of symmetry. HHKB I think kind of addresses it by placing their sticker on the right side. Of course this is my opinion, and I can respect yours.

Any idea if the true hhkb Tina sold as well as the symmetrical hhkb layout?

Totally understandable. It is a very personal choice. The only point being that the supply for TH full height boards is very limited; but, there is no demand data available. Of course, the Tina-A is in stock at KBDFans. If some needs one she can always get it there, and the pricing is more than fair.

Well, I guess that is what an IC is for. You true HHKB layout fans make your voices heard!

I have no voice in this as I'm likely to get the standard 60 layout haha

$190 is a ridiculously low price for a top-mount keyboard that includes a brass plate, brass weight, and a PCB.

Ricinco · « **Reply #109 on:** Tue, 08 May 2018, 18:33:09 »

I'm not the biggest fan of the design, but the price is low enough to make this interesting to me regardless.

Typing this on a Tina-A, just ordered a Rama M60, thinking about the Tokyo60 when that reruns.

I don't need another HHKB MX board. I don't need another HHKB MX board. I don't need another HHKB MX board...

I do need another HHKB MX board. True HHKB layout version would cause some real problems for me.

I suppose that what you want is a keyboard with a similar layout to M0110A, right? What are the real problems that a Happy layout causes you?

KaosJ · « **Reply #112 on:** Sun, 13 May 2018, 09:35:01 »

Probably in for the default 60%. Nice pricing!

Let me ask something since I didn't follow the post recently:

- Will we see color samples before GB starts? Especially purple.
- The DZ60 will be the type-c version?
- Brass coated somehow?

- yes, right now im focusing to get the prototype done, after that I will post color sample

- Yes type-C the REV 2 version
- my manufacturer said that the brass is already shiny enough so i wont be needing any coating.. but we'll see later when its done

I'm sure the brass will need coating otherwise it will oxidize. I have R1 E6 v2, the brass weight and plate were alright when I received them as they were sand blasted. But as time progressed, they are kind of looking dirty. Coating is a must!

Don't care if you PVD or simple treatment.

Windeh · « **Reply #124 on:** Wed, 16 May 2018, 21:59:41 »

I think the OP is thinking of electrolytic coating or plating, where as we may want a simple clear coat to protect the raw brass from oxidation.

Since this is still an IC phase, I would like to say that now without the RGB underglow possible, I’m starting to question the aesthetics of the side pattern (the one that gave you so much trouble, which was initially there to allow RGB lighting to bleed through) and whether plain side panel would actually be more aesthetically pleasing.

Thoughts?

Flat side would be preferable for me personally.

tex_live_utility · « **Reply #129 on:** Sat, 19 May 2018, 20:39:47 »

The angled side is a cool feature IMO. I would only be in favor of removing it if it substantially reduced the price.

RealLaugh · « **Reply #130 on:** Sun, 20 May 2018, 03:14:38 »

The side design is what sets it apart from other cases and part of the reason I found the case interesting.

First reason is the side design was made to differentiate my case design from other case design out there. so it' s not made to initially allow RGB light to bleed through.

Second reason I remove the RGB is because the IC results, there are more people like the case to be solid with out RGB.

Third reason is because, adding RGB defuser means adding more $$$..

Fourth reason is I want this case to be manufacture able in my home county (Indonesia). In my country finding a good defuser is hard. I found one.. but its price is to high.

we receive the prototype yesterday, but there is a problem, so we return it to the factory to be fix.

the problem is all of the parts that are made with brass is to big to fit.. I think this problem happen because of the machining not the design. For the prototype we made 2 type of weight, aluminum and brass... the aluminum seems to work just fine, but the brass wont fit to the slot.

make sure the tolerances were communicated clearly, as some manufacturers machine to low tolerances if not specified. Other than that, the anodizing looks pretty clean!
