Post by: tohonishi on Fri, 10 April 2026, 23:43:41: I usually avoid 65% boards because those top case blockers between the arrows and the bottom row mess up the symmetry for me. 60% WKL is much cleaner, but if I need arrows, TKL is the way to go. I’m an Alu lover (PC isn't my thing) and I prefer having material options like Alu/Brass/Copper backplates. Hope to see a 60% or TKL from you next

Thank you for your interest and opinions.
I reduce options in HS pcb due to my liking. I prefer not rotating switch, some keycap profile might hit the switch when bottom out.
In my experiences Hex screws are prone to stripping than torx screws, but I will test it over again to find which is the best.

65% is the first layout that lure me to the hobby and last year I get rid of all other layout except 65%. But now I am started to collect 60% for months. So yes, my next design would be 60% for sure.
