Title: [IC] Hiexa G60 | A Classic 60% Custom Keyboard Should Go for WK, WKL, or HHBK?
Post by: Hiexakey on Fri, 14 June 2024, 01:31:20

Hi everyone, Hiexakey, say hello again!

We have just completed the design of our G60.
Before we proceed with the PCB design and keyboard structure jobs, we would like to collect your thoughts on our G60 design,
color schemes, or any special needs you may have for a 60% keyboard.

We will collect your suggestions and consider them carefully.
Hope we can jointly design a G60 that meets most people's needs.
Please feel free to leave your comments.

We welcome you to discuss and ask questions on Discord (https://discord.com/invite/QMCDtsEJAA).
Thank you all.

HHKB or WKL for advanced users, WK is a reasonable option for all users.
Please don't consider to add 6.25 bar, thanks

(Yes I have a Tsangan figurine on my desk)

I see only now the layouts in the renders: split rshift is needed to put fn key, and split backspace for most of EU users is needed for |\ and ~` (and for original HHKB like layout)

I would suggest to add a split space support in addition to split backspace.

Looks great, reminds me of some of Matrix's offerings. Love the way the side pieces are still visible for colour and contrast from the top-down! My advice though, definitely think about just dropping the glow windows on the side. It reminds me of a not-so-great board and I feel just generally looks tacky. Still looking forward to seeing this project continue forward, and please please consider Tsangan-only PCB/plate and HHKB!  :D
