Does it have enough room for battery placement?

[manitoid]

Glad I didn't miss this one.

[nickaster1]

How’s the weight?

[Poesjuh]

It might have been mentioned here already, but what colors are you looking into?

Its supposed to.. but i havent tried it yet

About 1.5 kg.. do you think is too light?

Is that fully built or just the case?

What about an optional brass weight fitting inside the battery space? I don't need BT and like heavy cases.

For the price, I don't think it's a big deal.

How heavy do you think is a good weight for a 60% board?

1.5kg for the case alone is ok for me, could be 0.5kg more. There's no too heavy for me 
I just don't like the trend toward making place for batteries.

[Yeoh]

60% weight is mostly personal preference. I love heavy cases, but some people will buy a 60% for transportation and they will want a lighter case.

Thats why I like the idea of an interior removable weight for the battery tray. It would allow the people who want a heavier keyboard to add it.

I think 1.5kg is a nice middle ground. Not too heavy, not too light.

[Tyson]

This thing is super beautiful! I kept seeing your posts on instagram about it, and thought I missed the GB for it, looks like it was just the prototype and I will still be able to join!

[manitoid]

This is how the prototype looks like

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 this havent been redeaign..But it will be.. im still out of town for now.. so i cant work on it.. do you have any suggestion on how to make it more appealing?

I was thinking of adding RGB defuser strip like this..

What do you think?

I wish I had a helpful suggestion for you, but I don't.

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'll make some alternative design and make polls for everyone here to fill.. so please bare with me

Chiming in to say a little more weight and an RGB diffuser would be amazing for me personally.

Poll would be great. Would you make a prototype of another design so that we can see the difference irl?

[nickaster1]

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.

While there is some merit to unibody case, I like this case because the plate is sandwiched between the case top and bottom (case mount). Having an unibody case would require the plate to be tray mounted, which is subpar compared to case mounted plates.

[nickaster1]

I agree in regard to the tray mounted plate. I personally don’t like having rough edges or holes between the layers though. That would suck even further since at this price point, I’d rather take cosmetic over feels (lesser problem considering it’s only tray vs case mount

[Mekuno]

RGB light diffuser plate between the base and top plate. would make it look nicer imo, the light will shine down on that side as well. Will make it look more unique.

[line]

RGB underglow support (diffuser etc) would probably tempt me enough to join this buy

[oldcat]

When will GB start? This is amazing.

[Yeoh]

Would normally be against diffuser, but I think it might enhance this particular design, and im interested to see what you come up with.

[cldskt]

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.

Agreed. I'd love little cut outs instead of all around. Sides and maybe the back.

If everything goes well.... the GB is about the end of august

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 

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.

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.

Gotcha. Now we will wait for that sweet sweet prototype to drool on.

[heyitsqi]

I put myself as a most likely.

I'm assuming this will be the latest DZ60 with USB-C?

Also waiting on final weight with brass.

[cldskt]

If it’s not too late, I would like the option of Champagne Gold please. If I am the only one desiring so, I wouldn’t mind having a custom colour for extra cost.

Also just a reminder for OP not to skip coating on the brass weight to avoid fugly oxidations.

[Yeoh]

Those renders look great!

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..

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.

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.

Building on this, yes I agree that if the PCB is in line/lower than with the cutouts, then of course no light will bleed through. Increasing the height of the case bottom (or thinning the top case - not recommended though) might help.

Or, another way to mitigate this problem is to have a “deeper” geometric design at the sign so that it “cuts in” more and allow bigger space for light to bleed through.

EDIT: **** I just read Zombie’s comment and realised, his proposed idea makes more sense. Try putting the “cut out” at the case bottom instead. Having the cut-out at the case top makes zero sense as technically it will be above the plate, ergo above the PCB.

Also Vulcan, would you mind posting the prototyped top whereby the light failed to bleed through? We might be able to help you more with better visuals.

[gr4v3m4n]

here’s my proposed idea, instead of thinning the top case or putting the cutout on the bottom why not adding the top case height and thinning the lower case. this wont change the overall design significantly...

The pcb is already above the cutout.. I think if want to add RGB lighting like the latest render I would need to make dedicated SMD LED just for the light bleed
