I like it, but please offer a version without the branding on the backside. Or maybe put it on the plate?Yes, i agree with you.. the logo is too much, tommorow i will revise the design.
Besides that I like it. I know 60% aren't that heavy (although my Fjell disagrees) I think the finger cutouts are underexplored and could be a great quality of life improvement for people who swap boards often; I've gone to strictly USB-C for just such a reason.
My 2 cents.
Like:
bevels :)
brass logo!
Don't like:
"Fusion" on the back
The holes on the sides (what are these for honestly? Maybe make a real hole and do some RGB stuff with it?)
Probably in if there will be no holes on sides.

In my opinion the only thing setting this case apart is the cutouts. They look nice and provide assistance to lift the board securely. An acrylic insert within the grooves would be cool, but that's more complex and I don't necessarily care if they are ommitted. Underglow is faddish imo

I agree here, the cutouts are what people are going to remember of this board, especially the split design this has. If the sides became acrylic people will call it cheap and gaudy once they see final renders and ask for the solid side back again. I say keep it classic with a twist
I have already remove the fusion logo and did a slight change on the brass cut out. for the angel i think i will stick to 8 degree for now.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/oDqw8AL.jpg)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/nCnmVIn.jpg)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/6wQsJh6.jpg)
I have made some change to the design, also made it a bit lower, not the front height is only 15mm. What do you guys think about the new look?

Wait what about brass inserts for these holes?Great idea man! But that means the coloring cant be done with powder coating.. because powder coating adds about 1-2mm of paint coat, so after powder coating, the brass insert wont slot in perfectly in.

I can how ever add 1mm-2mm tolerence to the brass but maybe the results is the brass wont fit seamlesly to the case

Oof, forgot this was made with powder coating. With anodization this would be a good idea, but if it doesn't fit seamlessly, I wouldn't take the risk.

With anodize I'm sure it would fit in seamlessly, the reason i want to powder coat it instead of anodize is because powder coat in my opinion is more durable and have a good texture that match the texture of plastic keycaps.
I have a powder coated case and it remains like brand new even though i carry it inside my back pack without any protection for years
acrylic is not the best option for making high quality case..

That's true, and I think cerakoting ends up with the same issue as well...
I don't know if acrylic can be forced in with small tolerance differences, but if it can, than that could at least be one option
I have made update on the design of the brass plate, the last design can not be done because it need a large raw material size, which is hard to find in my place..Classy as f***. I love it. It would be nice if the case got thickened to make up for the loss in weight.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/8Jkx7dJ.jpg)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/6UPEpx3.jpg)
I have calculate the weight, total weight with out brass is 1 Kg, and with brass is 1.3 Kg, is it too light?

I don't mind the smaller brass weight, makes it more affordable as well.
To make up for the weight, maybe you could "thicken" the bezel of the case? Some people like it T H I C C.
As you have mentioned before, I love the idea that you are looking into putting frosted acrylic panel at the side cutouts. I have to say though, that I do not really fancy the current shape of the cutout. It seems too large and "not elegant" to me. Maybe a better option is to make the cutout smaller (therefore you can use less acrylic) and just provide a very subtle RGB glow at the side ;)
Definitely will be following on this thread!
Also, will this case come with the option of the plate/PCB as well, or just the case? Asking since I'm wondering whether I should order my PCB+Plate+Switches elsewhere first before deciding on a case.
I see that you are from Indonesia. Maybe I can get my friends/relatives to pick up the case once it's open for GB :p

Thank you!, yes I am planning to thicken the bezel of the case and for the cutout on the side I have removed it and change to something that kinda have a purpose but still maintaining the theme of the case.

Okay the latest revision seems pretty great. It gives the case some characters that are different from others.
Question: which layout would fit this: https://prnt.sc/imoyc5 - YAS or WKL?
Also, any estimated time for GB? :p

To Do:
- Find alternative CNC company that maybe can help produce without the use of EDM
- Find another way to make without EDM and without changing the design
Update :
6/3/18
- Submit the design to CNC guy
- It turns out that the side is very hard to CNC and need the help of EDM machine
- Because it needs to be EDM, the cost of production is almost double the price from the previous Fusion60 case design.
4/3/18
- Total redesign of fusion
the estimate price is at what moq? will it go down if made in large quantity?To Do:

Yesterday i submit the design to my CNC company, it turns out that the side needed the help of EDM machine, and that will double the price of production. Right now im still trying to find another way around to avoid EDM machine. if there is no way around that, the only option is to find the cheapest EDM company or changing the design :(
The estimate price if use EDM machine for poker version of this case is : USD 300 :(Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/sNbaXrJ.jpg)
Unfortunately at 300usd I'm likely out. I was hoping this would be a reasonable mid tier case from 150-225usd.

I have to agree with this. Was excited hoping that this case would be sub-200. If you are going through with this I'll sit this one out.
Will simpler design (that won't so much sacrifice the character of the case) be doable and bring the cost down?

The HHKB plate and slider housings are built into the case, so I'm certain this won't be a new housing for it.

Wow, that's an insane price for a top-mount with a brass plate + weight. The details says it comes with a DZ60 PCB, but if you go with the YAS62 option, will that come with the YAS62 PCB or will you have to get one yourself?

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.

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.
I suppose you are forgoing the side RGB underglow then?
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...

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?
Could we opt out of the PCB?

Are there any physical prototypes? Might jump in on this when it comes up
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!I like the patina brass accumulates over time, but to each their own :)
Don't care if you PVD or simple treatment.

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?
Do you have any pictures or renders how the purple will look?

The angled side is a cool feature IMO. I would only be in favor of removing it if it substantially reduced the price.
The side design is what sets it apart from other cases and part of the reason I found the case interesting.
How's the prototype coming along?

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!
Just to confirm, this is top mount case right? Not tray mount. Because as per the provided renders, it's clearly top mount. I just wanna make sure :D
No images of bottom case?
Will this be available in red? (Preferably bright red.)
will it be possible to purchase both a regular and hhkb layout top piece in the gb?
Keep it! It gives it character.
This is how the prototype looks like.. we cant make the sides looks as sharp like the 3d render.. what do you guys think? Should I keep it like that or remove the side design?Still looks good, this is an instant buy for me.

this detail seems to be the weak point of design, it could improve imho. however, the look is really nice.

Ah cool. That is totally fine then.
Additionally, maybe for the side design, the top-part of the case can have a curve above the side design part, so that it looks seamless and not like a ‘roof’. I’m not sure if I’m describing this clearly.

I think it looks really slick! I like the side design; makes it a bit more unique.
This case is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING: DZ60 support, looks, anodizing( I hope), true hhkb, integrated plate ... everything is so good, and it will be about 200$ for the kit!
I would like to see purple ( Tokyo cyberpunk pink*)coating too, but if it won’t happen I will go with the purple color.
I regard this case as an ultimate competitor to Tina. The latter, I suppose is so overpriced. Basically they are sold for 110$ on mechmarket. Damn it. KBDFans have some serious issues with anodizing. I hope your GB will get a perfect finish, don’t save any money on it, as anodizing is what makes ANY case unique.

Is it possible to continue the design to affect the top?
The way it looks now kind of kills the look, IMO.
Would like to see the plate sold separately
What's the estimated GB timeline? Guess, I'll go for Tina-A.

Note that top mount and tray mount feel really different from one another. Tina is tray while the fusion is top mount

I know I may be the minority, but would it be possible to add some form of RGB on this board? :-[

About 1.5 kg.. do you think is too light?What about an optional brass weight fitting inside the battery space? I don't need BT and like heavy cases.

Does it still look like this from that angle, or has that been redesigned? I can't tell if it's been changed or just the angle of the pictures aren't showing that view.
I wish I had a helpful suggestion for you, but I don't.I'll make some alternative design and make polls for everyone here to fill.. so please bare with me :D
All I can say is that adding any kind of RGB to this would probably exclude me from this buy.
The simplicity of this is one of it's main selling points IMO.

I’m gonna say 1.5kg is fine, since I’ll probably buying this for traveling.
I would highly suggest a unibody case if making the seam between the two pieces of the case “seamless”. There is nothing to worse than having to clean the interior every three weeks and I’m pretty sure a bad seam will trigger off lots of people.
If RGB diffuser is a must, I have to say the most you should do is the side diffuser (between the top case and the inseams). Going for a full acrylic/PC layer sandwiched between the case top and bottom would increase cost and ruin the aesthetics imho.
when is this GB live? please let us know!
I have fix the design issue for the top case, hopefully now it will look better then before. I also have add RGB diffuser to let the RGB light of the DZ60 PCB bleed trough.. this will also help to highlight the side geometrical design so it would be more appealing :thumb:
What if you don't like RGB light?? don't worry, I have design it to make sure when you turn off the RGB light, you wont even notice that there is a deffuser on this case. I design a little geometrical shape that is placed to block the diffuser from being seen, but still will let the RGB light to pass trough when it's turn on.
What do you guys think?

That’s clearer. Is this the only design out of a few that is approved by your CNC miller that you told me a few days ago?
Also, from what I understand from the last three detailed renders is that the diffuser is located as a part of the case top yes? However your previous renders seemed to show that the case top is separate from where the light bleed through (i.e. diffuser seems to be part of case bottom). Is this just part of render problem or am I seeing something wrongly?
Great renders btw, thanks for listening to feedbacks.

I Submitted 3 design but only 2 was approved by my manufacturer. the other design i dont want to post it here because i just dont like the design of the diffuser.
yes the diffuser is part of the top case. in the render it looks like a part of the bottom case maybe because there is a small section of the top case that is extruded to the bottom case.

yes the diffuser is part of the top case. in the render it looks like a part of the bottom case maybe because there is a small section of the top case that is extruded to the bottom case.Show Image(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180701/30146907209bbb21c0a1a9c1bda248ef.jpg)Show Image(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180701/db8bb46c9c4cf7792770d62dab26d6cb.jpg)Show Image(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180701/f58576cdb20fc451b9ee1e269e0fc00b.jpg)
Gotcha. Now we will wait for that sweet sweet prototype to drool on.
assuming you use standard dz60 not special one, dont think theres enough led to let the light bleed bright enough. maybe on the lighter color case the light might bounce but on the darker color may not. but well see when the prototype arrive..Show ImageShow ImageShow ImageShow ImageShow ImageI have fix the design issue for the top case, hopefully now it will look better then before. I also have add RGB diffuser to let the RGB light of the DZ60 PCB bleed trough.. this will also help to highlight the side geometrical design so it would be more appealing :thumb:
What if you don't like RGB light?? don't worry, I have design it to make sure when you turn off the RGB light, you wont even notice that there is a deffuser on this case. I design a little geometrical shape that is placed to block the diffuser from being seen, but still will let the RGB light to pass trough when it's turn on.
What do you guys think?

Sexy renders bro. Just wondering, could you highlight the diffuser part exactly? Not entirely sure where is the diffuser located at from the render.
This is the slot for the diffuser

That’s clearer. Is this the only design out of a few that is approved by your CNC miller that you told me a few days ago?
Also, from what I understand from the last three detailed renders is that the diffuser is located as a part of the case top yes? However your previous renders seemed to show that the case top is separate from where the light bleed through (i.e. diffuser seems to be part of case bottom). Is this just part of render problem or am I seeing something wrongly?

This definitely makes sense, and he said before the cutout was part of the top case. To maintain the design, I’m wondering if it would be possible to move the cutout to the bottom part of the case and not look too different.I have received the top case prototype.. tried it out.. but sadly the light does not bleed trough :(heres my thoughts, if the pcb are align with the cutout then the light would not bleed, the pcb will block the light from going through. if the pcb is slightly higher than the cutout its possible for the light to bleed if more LED are added to the side of the pcb and somehow the bottom case can bounce the light i.e lighter color cases. please correct me if im wrong.

Have you had time to do further experimentaion for bleeding out underglow?As of now, he is actually designing a new PCB design, which will incorporate extra LEDs at the sides. Prototype ordered, and supposed to come last week but the manufacturer decided to delay it. Will see how it goes in a few days.

Tbh I would be happy if the board would skip the RGB part and just comes with a solid side. That would also make the board compatible with all pcbs which is a big feature of 60% boards imo.That's what I thought. But I'm biased: if I see a keyboard with leds I loose interest quickly because it looks like a toy or gamer thing.

It does. The new PCB design is just to see how well the side glow is with the extra LEDs at the side. The case will still be compatible with aftermarket 60% PCBs like DZ60, its just the underglow won’t be noticeable (which some of you prefer).QuoteTbh I would be happy if the board would skip the RGB part and just comes with a solid side.

The gold anodized plate and weight in your latest prototype... will the champagne gold color case be this shade or a lighter one ?
I can't wait for this, it's not often that gold is used as a case colour in these group buys. Hopefully it goes well with GMK Red Samurai. Also looking forward to having the side RGB LEDs. The PCB supports all the layouts of the DZ60 right?
Any chance we can get better quality pic for anodize quality?
Soooooo, when does this start? :))
Really interested in seeing how the lighting looks with the new pcb. Is there going to be an option to order multiple plate/pcb's?
Proto look great! Will the brass weight / plate have pvd coating?

Hello mate,
I am so hyped to see that you have come so far with your ideas. I myself wanna build a wooden 75% case, my relatives have a company where they have all the wood material and machines but the only thing I lack on is 3d skills to model my case. I know you have a lot to do yourself in your life, but I would be glad if you could help me out :)
So how do I design a keyboard so a 75% PCB fits into my case? Like how do I know where the screw place must be placed and how deep a case must be so the keycaps are not to low or too high...etc
How did you do? Any tips for me? :)
Have a nice day!

The prototype looks awesome! But i have a question about the hole for the rgb. Is there going to be some acrylic or half transparent plastic for the rgb hole? or is it going to be empty like the prototype?Im not going to use any acrylic or polycarbonate.. because the concept is to make the light bleed trough.. not diffused
The case as usual looking amazing...
The shine for the rgb issue :
- perhaps try this on a sliver anodized or light gold anodized case ? ( If you can bead blast it again and reanodize it)
I think the side LEDs would look dim on darker colors.
- perhaps position the bottom so that the light falls also on the desk, this might be a good effect even if there is not a lot of light on the facet design.
- make LEDs brighter ??
- personally for me the LEDs don't matter, pcb swap is bigger for a standard 60%. But I know a lot of folks want the RGB on this board...
Really appreciate you taking the time to get your visit right rather than jumping in to it. Me at least, I'll wait for this board, because it's perfect !
getting the effect below in real life might be difficult - I think everyone will understand that though.
Have you tried using a through hole LED right on teh opening, perhaps behind a diffuser with reflective/mirror tape on one side ?
Or maybe something like this :

I got a PM from vulcan on instagram and apparently there's 3 prototypes, each of which needs 2 weeks to fix the design and one month to manufacture.
Also, the sideglow design can only be made with special tools only certain manufacturers have.
Finally, to make the board as affordable as possible, the manufacturer needs to finish their major projects first before working on vulcan's.
Vulcan, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about anything.

Does this mean this project would be on hold for about a month and a half or so? I don't mind, just don't want to keep my hopes up that it might be next week and I'd be broke from spending too much haha. At least I could budget out some finances if there were a certain date announced
The machining precision seems quite off. Hope it will be fixed
If anyone is interested in an ortholinear layout, Shensmobile has started a GB for a 60% ortholinear PCB and plate. He'll even offer to make a custom plate for top-mounted boards, like the Fusion60, for only $10 more.

The answer you seek about the DXF file should be a few posts above yours.

He's doing 50 for round 1, probably with the intent to do more rounds in the future. Having too many boards in the GB wouldn't be a good idea.

- colors : the colors in the image with codes (has champagne gold) or the colors you mentioned in the OP text ?
- is this still limited to 50units now that kbdfans is running it ?
2 questions:
- It's brass pvd?
- Any sample of the purple?

1. The prototype brass is PVD, but when the GB launch it will be sandblasted.
2. We have no sample of purple at the moment, im sorry :-[ .. the factory said for custom color such as dark purple, dark green , champagne gold and red, we need to make at lest 20 prototype..
but these are the reference that i will give to the factory for the anodizing color

Why is it limited to 50?The fewer orders there are the better the gb holder can control the quality of each piece

I have some questions.
1. I know the brass will be sandblasted for the GB, but is it going to be raw or coated?
2. When is the estimate date for the GB? It seems like everything is ready.
3. Is it possible to do render of grey fusion60 with hyperfuse r1 or r2?
4. Would there be white for color option? (I guess this is not going to happen)
5. Does the estimate price of $190 include shipping cost? or just the price of keyboard itself?
the shipping cost depends on kbdfans, right?I have some questions.

Hai,
1. I can't answer that now, since what i meant minor adjustment is the sandblasting proses and treatment.. right now it's still in proses and im still waiting.
2. After the sandblasting sample finish, KBDfans will determined when it will begin.. shoud be anytime soon.
3. Yes, no problem
4. No, it will require more time and more sample. I think this IC has taken too long
5. Shiping cost is not included.

Woah. That's hot.Also curious about this. If it's MAO, I'd definitely be interested. But iirc you can't anodize white. It'd have to be MAO or cerakote or powder coat.
What finish is it, anodization, cerakote, or powder coating? I know the Grid used a different (powder coat) finish for the white rather than the other colors (anodization).

Thank's for letting us know. I have no clue what electrophoresis are, is it better than anodizing? and if compare with MAO or ceracoat?

Are all 50 units going to be FCFS on kbdfans?
BTW, maybe you should start a GB thread for it when it goes live, to share updates and comments?Yess i will do that.. to keep you guys updated.. I hope we can achieve 50 case buy
Will there still be an option without PCB? How much do we save?Its better to include PCB since you will only save 10-15 USD..
1. Are buyers limited to 1 style top-part? (standard, hhkb, wkl)1. Yes.. i have already ask kbdfans, they cant make top case only..
2. Can you buy extra pcb's? I know you can just buy an extra DZ60, but what about the custom one with LEDs?
I'm sorry if this has been answered/discussed before, but I don't remember that being the case in this thread.
Do you have a prototype for the champange gold case?I dont have, maybe you can ask Kbdfans.. I think they have.
There will be aditional cost, about 25usd.. electrophoresis is very good and better than anodizeWould the white also be the same price?Thank you.. this is a heavy 2.5kg thick case.. i think 230 USD including shiping is still a good price for case like this.Fusion60 GB will be live:

Well, i think the price increase doesn't really matter. It's still very cheap and it includes shipping. Is it going to be fcfs or raffle?
wow 2.5kg though! thats surprisingly heavy compared to tx60 which is just 1.7kg?
Would this case be compatible with all 60% plates? Like the kbdfans one?

I would guess not unless they had screw holes which line up with the ones in the included plate. Someone, please correct me if that's inaccurate.

If I remember correctly, there are only going to be 15 units available. Has this changed or did I remember incorrectly?
Is there a specific time? Will it open friday at midnight? Also. If there is a specific time what time zone will it be based on?
Lastly, will there be a limit to how many 1 person can purchase?
If possible I would still like the option to exclude the PCB even if it's just a small saving. I already have a couple spare 60% PCBs and 1 of the advantages of cases which accept universal 60% PCBs is being able to use the PCB of your choice :)Will there still be an option without PCB?

-Brass pvd yey or nay?
-Final colors same as before?

Thanks for doing the hyperfuse render! And it is possible to buy this board with credit card right?
I highly doubt it’ll sell out that fast, but it would be great to be proven wrong (better chances of r2 lol)
So is it 50 units total or 50 per color? ;oTotal

The way its worked every time I've ordered from KBDfans is you just select the free shipping and it ships fast anyway (if wei has said it does ship fast).

It fits most standard 60% PCB. the only difference is the lights on the side.
The bundled PCB will have lights on the side, and when you build it, you need to break these off, mount them and connect them for the shine.
Once you break these off, the PCB is like a std. 60%

At first I thought they just opened it up so that there were plenty of all the options to sell 50 of any combo, but looking at the numbers, it looks like there are really 30 of each variant up for preorder/presale.
I see they’ve updated the info about shipping too. It seems like things are developing as they go. I know KBDfans is a good company to deal with so it doesn’t bother me too much, but it does make it a little hectic from a consumer standpoint.

The counts aren't accurate either. I bought a white HHKB layout and it is still showing at 30 units available.
I am guessing there are only a few left. A white one is so tempting.the website says 46 people have purchased. not sure how accurate that number is though
Got confirmation from KBDFans that the MOQ is 50 units. Right now, 48 have been sold.
I will make GB thread today to keep updated and answer question..
For the 50 MOQ, i have already message wei but havent got reply. Of wei wants to do more than 50 case then it's ok for me..
The first reason i limit it to 50 case is because to make wei and other kbdfans people easier and better QC..

Even if this GB is opened for unlimited number of orders, I am confident there should not be any issue with QC through Wei and KBDFans. They specialize in manufacturing and selling keyboard kit like this so I honestly wouldn't sweat.
