Hi, everybody. I am a keyboard-lover and designer from DT.Heart in China. I have been in this hobby for years and I am delighted to introduce my design.At first impression, I wanted to design and make a minimalist-esque keyboard, but I am unsure how receptive it will be for fellow keyboard enthusiasts. I have went ahead and made my first edition prototype somewhere this May. Some of the design details did not meet my demands, thus several major modifications are made during my second prototyping process. Here is the Mithril 60 keyboard！Layout: There are two layouts to choose from: Normal 60% or HHKB layout. (Attachment Link) (Attachment Link) The board uses a large fillet on the corner of the case to cater to a more modern theme. The top case uses a 4mm thick integrated plate as the mounting mechanism. (Attachment Link) Logo on the top right of the casing is made of aluminum finished in silver PVD coating.PCB uses QMK firmware and USB Type C connector with the port located on the middle of the keyboard. (Attachment Link) The weight is made of stainless steel instead of the traditional brass, making the keyboard a tad heavier with a modern touch. Stainless steel is also more resilient to scratches unlike brass. (Attachment Link) Contents of the Mythril 60 Keyboard：6063 aluminum top case with integrated plate 6063 aluminum bottom case Stainless steel weight Aluminum logo finished in silver PVDPCB (QMK with USB Type C connector)Price：278$ (Attachment Link) (Attachment Link) I have spent considerable amount of time on the side and forehead of this keyboard. I will be eager to post the second prototype later along with the group buy details. Thanks for your support. Mithril 60 is made by DT.heart, a brand-new manufacturer in China. We have spent more a year designing and making this exquisite typing-tool. Please stay with me for this GB.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------update 2019.10.24 Color 1 Panda top cover white bottom shell black2 deep sea with blue top and gray shell3 dark night green top cover black shell green4 mystery colors announced on October 30i will change it to be a top mount keyboard If you are interested in Mithril or DT.heart Please join us: https://discord.gg/mJZ2QR8 Previous keyboards： （Jupiter75）（J80）（Morgan40）
Wow, thanks for changing it to top mount. Also, that panda colorway is dope. Sucks that there is no white/blue option though.
With top mount I‘m out. So many available with this tech. Rama is also very succsessful with integrated plates. Was looking forward to try it out.
The light blue on the rendering is proofing

I believe he said in the future. For the time being though, it's going to be a solder PCB
I love this board.
Board looks great.Couple of questions: 1. Will there be options to mix and match the top and bottom aluminum case colors?2. Are there any feet on the board? or will the bottom aluminum case + weight be flush with the surface?
Awesome! I think I have a couple more questions now that I'm interested in the board:1. What's the typing angle of the board?2. Do you have the total weight of the of the board as well?
Wondering what these elusive mystery colors will be. I’m also hoping for a hotswap PCB. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
