Title: [IC] Trinite 60% keyboard case and Coast wrist rest
Post by: Leighton13104 on Mon, 29 June 2020, 12:27:51

Hi I'm quite new to the keyboard Hobby and I designed this keyboard off the keycult 60% pcb. It has gasket mounted plates with a leaf spring design. Other colours and material options will be available if enough interest is shown. The keyboard should retail for 380- 420 USD (including pcb) and the wrist rest for 70-90 USD.

Plate available in:
Stainless Steel +20 USD
Brass +10 USD
Aluminum (included)
POM ( only available as extra ) + 25 USD

Weight available in:
Stainless Steel +40 USD
Brass +30 USD
Aluminum (included)

Case material- aluminium( maybe POM?)

Compatible with GH60 pcbs (DZ60, YD60MQ, etc)

5 degree typing angle

Celtic Knot engraving behind weight and on the bottom

USB C only

Updates :
No longer compatible with mainstream 60% boards. Only compatible with the keycult 60% pcb.

Reason for design change:
Bad placement for USB C Port as it would be protruding from the stainless steel weight

I like the design but this is so expensive even for a high end. Are you getting proxies for Eu?

Yeah thinking of proxies in the EU, US and Asia. If more interest I'll expand out more as I haven't yet got my hands on a prototype. And once everything is finalized price will drop when there is a larger batch price maybe 370-400 USD

not a bad looking keyboard, but feel like it's a little too inspired by the no1/60 and as a result doesn't really differentiate itself enough to consider buying this over a 1/60. the overall design is super similar and the mounting method looks to be largely identical. additionally, from the renders the front also looks a bit tall, and the corners look a bit too round imo. i do like the celtic knot engraving quite a bit though. i'd keep refining this design and make it a little more your own, but it looks like a good start  :thumb:

Looks pretty good. I would get it if it doesn't have a max order quantity.

glwic, hope you decide to put the usb port down on the back side render somewhere.

corners have that weird off center thing going on with the wide side bezels but it's always nice to see new designers

I hope that you are aware of the fact that the Keycult PCBs are not some "free for all" open source thing.
They are a copyright protected item and I highly doubt that you have the permission to use this pcb for your board.
