I do plan to order some stickers like this. It's not considered as a part of this project tho.

Maybe? The legal issue is a concern to me because I know nothing about it. Data General company has been long gone tho.

I said the stickers won't be considered as a part of the project just because of this reason.

I will make some stickers for myself. I'm pretty sure that's legal at least.

Did you consider having the connector recessed and just having a slot for the cable to run out like the original (having a slot, I'm guessing the original cable was soldered or crimped).

Yes, I have considered hiding the cable connector under the case. The cable will be still detachable.

However, the slot under the case must be large enough to support all possible connectors. I don't think it's a good idea to cut a slot large enough for Yarbo connectors.

Yeah, I'm sad it's not full size like the original. Cool project though. I love retro-style projects.

I'd love to see a WKL top if this gets to GB. I've finally got the funds for a heavy metal custom and this would suit me well.

I have made two prototypes but they all have problems. The first one's height was not correct. The second one's bottom was too thin. It will come out eventually but only after I have a perfect prototype.

Wish the blue color would be a perfect match to Dasher keyset, and the HHKB layout with 7u spacebar could be supported.

split spacebar support would be nice.

The case will support almost all of the 60% PCBs in theory. I can't provide too many plate options. You can use third-party PCBs and plates with standoffs tho

65% or HHKB layout would be nice..
The OG has a space-bar only bottom row, a more modern approximation would be the HHKB layout.

You could also consider the CA 66 layout for HHKB + 65%. I think it would also look nicer/closer to the OG's full size.
Personally I like both 65% as well as 60%, however with 60% you have better PCB compatibility and cost savings...

CA66 layout is very nice but I don't want to risk being called a copycat. I don't think copying layout is wrong but I know someone disagrees.

I like 60% over 65% cause the last column keys on 65% can be accidentally pressed.

The proto will obviously be a 60% but can we expect this to change to a 65% keyboard? Many people requested it (me included)?

I really don't want to discard the current 60% version and change it to 65%. I've ordered two prototypes for D60. The first one had a lot of problems. All the problems have been fixed in the second prototype. Also, I have a source for hot-swappable 60% PCBs and they don't have 65% versions rn. Changing to 65% is too risky and unnecessary for me.

Here are some photos of the second prototype. The first one was totally wrong.
Fox-lab was kind enough to make the second one for me. The bottom case is in the new e-white color.
