Interested. Is there any pictures from bottom? I want to know weight design for it.

Any word on what colors will be available? I'm trying to think of how to make it look distinct in my collection.

There's a list of the colours that will be made available as well as a render of two red cases turned on their side which show the bottom case design in the OP.

[RETURNISO]

Really dope Wilba, with the zeal60 supporting iso, any chance of a separate ISO plate? Or just a modded ISO plate file. So we can make lovely ISO plates for it?

I'm planning on only one plate design with minimal "options" to please the most people and optimizing the number of different "parts" to keep the cost down.

The plate files will be available for people to make their own. I might even make an ISO version just for you

First G60 and then this. My 60% dreams. Guess 2 60% is enough!

This design has such a strong emphasis on the horizontal I think it would look great as a 65% or with a numpad, or vertical function keys on a side. Still interested in the 60% version though, please include some renders with that layout.

[MajorKoos]

Finally.
I'm so in.

i'm happy to see such a nice 60 with all the 65s going around at the moment 🤗 looking forward to hearing details on the mounting design

first post says leaf spring mount, which is novel afaik but i imagine it will share some properties with gasket mount!

Count me in for this one ^_^

Thanks! Sounds interesting!

[OtherAndrew]

hello sir could you please turn this into 40% with numpad split space iso arrows pls and thanks

[nasp]

Is there a target price point?

[KaosJ]

Is the showed layout the only one available? 

[Zambumon]

Is the showed layout the only one available?

No.

From the OP:

• Case Top Options: HHKB Blockers, No Blockers
  [...]
  
• Plate Layout: Single mostly fixed layout design, with fixed 7U bottom row (i.e. HHKB and WKL), fixed split right-shift, optional 2U/split backspace, optional stepped/full Caps Lock

Yes. Both methods are plate mounting systems. Different concept and approach to how the plate is mounted.

Btw, congrats on the Jamon GB! It’s a pity we didn’t push to 1000 sets! But it’s good results!

Finally, an innovator with the courage to be inspired by brutalist architecture.

Hope he adds a headphone jack too.

+1 add a dac and amp to it to seal the deal.

[Rykno]

Any chance of WKL

Ah, the pretty pictures distracted me. The red is sexy, but I'll have to consider the red Tokyo60 I've already got.

[ja.ze]

Black and teal details please.

Very different and unique design though. Why not have both

[gutsack]

Mhmm

[empa]

love the design. i'm keen

[heyitsqi]

Damn might have to get in on this.

[Owl-]

I would seriously love to see this in dark navy blue as a colour option.

[lolafineday]

Yeah I would also life that, but on his discord he had said no more anodized colors. These colors he has released are final.

[ptiede]

Must buy for me! Now I just need to find a keyset that will go with the black and red aesthetic.

Check the OP, there are some examples.

GMK Jamon

[nasp]

So is the switch plate what's in the middle causing the accented color?

If I wanted a custom color, could I ask for a raw plate so that I could take this somewhere to have it done in a color of my choosing?

You can get an anodized plate and get the anodization stripped before anodizing again in a new color, it's preferable to produce/ship "raw" plates as it also protects the surface. I do not know the technical details of whether stripping a neutral color like silver is better or not, but that is what I would do.

[Wilba]

If I wanted a custom color, could I ask for a raw plate so that I could take this somewhere to have it done in a color of my choosing?

I would also recommend experimenting with reanodizing on an extra plate

Yeah re-ano is pretty doable

  I had high hopes that this was going to be my first and only navy blue keeb when I first saw this
I'm aware that there's a number of other blue boards out there but I made a pass on them all for this

While this IC is running, still hoping you could consider deep navy blue again, wilba!

[Wetherbee]

I'd get a TKL version of this but the 60% form factor is a bit 2018.
