No i mean the left shift. Universal ISO accommodates the normal left shift as opposed to a 1.25 one, so that you'll have the big enter but with the normal left shift :)

You raised a good idea.
I will try to accomodate 1.25x + 1x left shift too.
(That will be 2.25x or 1.25x+1x if there's no problem. ;))
Also GON, will you make it winkey and winkeyless compatible?

codyeatworld add me to interest list, especially if we can get a HHKB version, that would be the coolest 60% keyboard to add to my collection. ISO HHKB with GON Housing--Hell Yeah!
I want 1.5 mods with winkey. :P

I guess...2 more!!?? What colours are there? Is there a minimum for colours as well?
No moq for color!
** Available Anodizing Colors are:
Non-Glare or Glare
Red, Orange, Light Yellow, Green, Skyblue, Blue, Light Purple, Purple, Pink, Silver, Gold, Black(Soft Anodizing)
Light Grey, Grey, Dark Grey(Hard Anodizing)
But as for layout, moq = 5
Ok you got me wrong, I wanted the normal 1.5,1, 1.5 layout. But I'm cool with hhkb also ;)

I don't really care for LEDs on this board. Any updates if this will go forward? :D
Any colour samples for gold and light yellow? Can't seem to find any in GON's forum.
I'm sure there is some way to ghetto-rig making the center layer light up, but I'll take any solution to make the whole thing light up. lol.
GON most likely can include the universal backspace and universal right shift. so that would work out :)
This wouldn't need a gh60 plate right?
I just sent everyone a PM following up. :)
You can build the bottom line as
1.25/1.25/6.25/1.25/1.25/1.25
1/1.5/7/1.5/1
1/1.5/6/1/1.5/1(if the PCB supports this layout)
looks good, the image in the email didn't load for me also, glad you put this up here
i hope everyone is able to pay, if i am understanding correctly we can only have one person drop out......please clarify about extra fees, i already paid invoice.
Too bad the GH60 pcb group buy looks like its going to run at least another 2 months :(
I might be willing to take on the spare order if someone does drop out.
What exactly would I be buying? :P Colour?
so we get 5 paid? this still going down?
i mean no rush lol, it will be another couple months before we even see a GH60 PCB probably.......
Any update?
I wish I could have been a part of this...

I've not yet mass-produced these housings.
So you can join if you want. ;)
Let me know. ;)

GON I need to change my postal address for this. Should I just PM you the new address?
Guys,
I have a problem and have a suggestion.
I think GH60 PCB does not have exactly the same dimension as PokerX, so I'm worried whether my GON NS GH60 Housing would fit GH60 PCB or not...
So.... what about including "PCB" for this GB?
I've almost developed NerD(New Emergence of Revolutionary Device, NerD) Controller.
I've finished Hardware design for TKL PCB and working on its firmware and GUI.
If you guys want to buy a PCB fitting this Housing together, I will include it for $30.
(I will solder the controller parts and flash its firmware)
I'm sure this PCB is the most Powerful now in the world.
The specification is as follows
USB Full NKRO & 6KRO Support(Toggle)
1000Hz(1ms) Polling Rate
Supports In-Switch Backlight Full LED and Side LED(The PCB has dedicated places for Side LEDs)
Editable Key Maps(Client Software is under development, to be released in a few months.)
Hardware MACRO(Realtime Macro without Software / Macro Recording with Dedicated Software(Software to be released in a few months, Realtime Macro recording is now available.)
Supports almost all Keylayouts including ISO!!!
Multimedia Keys Supported(Mostly for Windows as for now)
Controller SMD Parts Soldered and Firmware Flashed before shipping
1.6T PCB based on NerD Controller
MACRO: User can adjust each delay between key inputs.(User needs a Software to be released in a few months.
One Macro can include 1~2000 Key Inputs. User can save 2000 inputs at "one" key, or smaller chunks of inputs at up to "70" keys.
(User can save 1 ~ 70 Macros)
Easy GUI Software Support(to be released in a few months)
Retail price of this PCB will be more than $50 later.
GB participants for this Housing only will be given this advantage($20 off).
If I design a 60% PCB, it will take about 1 month and I can ship the Housing+PCB in April.
Please think it over.... and tell me.
P.S. You can see TKL version of NerD at http://www.gonskeyboardworks.com/pcbs/60-nerd.html
Sounds good to me GON!
Sorry, but dont understand this. Wasnt the GH60 PCB 100% compatible with all these Poker cases around?
Did you actually tried to fit in the PCB or are you just worried it might not fit (aka not tested yet)?

Thanks, I will invoice you soon. ;)
Oh.... longweight, I can't find your order detail...
Did you join this GB? ;)
Its also worth noting the gh60 will need an extra module for led support, and that probably wont fit in this case.
His pcb will also have pads for side/smds leds to light up the polycarb middle in the case.
I think this is the best option for everyone honestly. I'll also assemble any boards in this gb for free.

Damn did I miss this? Anything available. Thanks
Apologies Gon I just had a look at the housing and it's beautiful work, I was just looking for something more traditional like in the mockup. Your pcb sounds fantastic and as soon as the software is out I'm picking one of these out for my build. Will they be available on your website?

Hi Guys,
Here I got the final version of GON NS NerD 60_ISO today.
(Attachment Link)
I think this housing will not fit a GH60 PCB because this housing fits PokerX(Not PokerX_II).
PokerX1 and 2 have slightly different USB connector position. And NerD60 has the same USB Connector position as PokerX_1.
You can assemble almost all kinds of layouts with this housing&PCB set, only if bottom left and bottom right keys(2 keys) are blocked.
One of the differences from (PokerX_2 and GH60) is, ESC and 1 keys have the same direction as all the other(except for ISO enter switch) switches. So, when you apply Full Backlit LEDs to this kbd, LEDs at the 1st row will make exact harmony. ;)
As I told you, you can easily tune both In-switch backlight LEDs and Side LEDs at the same time, for each kind of LEDs has their own dedicated position to be soldered on.
If there is no issue on this final version, I will proceed mass(?) production.
Thanks,
GON
Find yours! ;)
Some of you will not have yours in the picture... because their items could not pass my Q.C.
I re-ordered CNC Machining for more quality ones.
You will get yours soon.

Jelly. I'm loving the hhkb low profile layout? Will GON ever sell something like this on his website? Maybe in ANSI HHKB?
I've spoken with him, he's accepting new orders. Refer to the OP for more info. I'm also happy to answer any questions.
This thread should probably be moved into GON's subform. (Its more like a small sale and so he can edit my posts.)

I just sent you a PM. I definitely don't want to miss this again. A few posts earlier it was mentioned that he pre-programs the ISO layout since the GUI isn't finished yet. Is it possible to have the ANSI layout preprogrammed instead? Also, does the PCB support through-hole LEDs on the switches? I saw GON make reference to some SMD LEDs earlier, but I'm not sure if that is for internal case lighting or not.

I am sure GON will pre-program it for you, maybe for a small fee, if needed but there should be a way to program it soon, maybe even a UI, the ones from round 1 were ISO but the PCB supports a bunch of layouts, almost as many as the GH60
There is through hole LEDs ON the switches, so the actual backlighting is through hole BUT you have to solder in SMD Resistors to make them work
Additionally bottom leds, the ones that make the middle polycarb layer glow, those are SMD LEDs, and like the backlit LEDS they require their own SMD resistors as well.
Diodes are either SMD or through hole.
it is a lot of work, but its not impossible for newblies, SMD LEDS and Resistors you can easily do by running a flux pen across the solder points and pre-applying the solder to the PCB, then use tweezers to hold the resistors or diodes over the solder and use the other hand to run the soldering iron to heat the joint, its not a perfect method but it works even with my shaky hands and no complex soldering skills,
im actually thinking about taking a day off work just to build mine proper because i am too impatient to make mine over the course of several days.

Although i haven't built my ANSI/ISO HHKB GON NS Nerd60 (whoo what a name!) yet, i just wanted to say that GON is excellent to do business with and his english is fantastic; not sure if he uses a translator but he understands everything you're saying.
Thanks Cody and GON!
Oh and GON, please consider making a ergonomic board :D
My English is not perfect. I, sometimes, do make mistakes. ;)
If I had any chance to stay in an English speaking country for about a year or so, I would speak still better English. lol~
So... If I upset you with my clumsy English, it is not because I intend to do so but because I'm not a native English speaker.

You still type better English than what I attempt to do each day here on GH 8) . Hence never feel bad about your use of English here when it compares favourably to many here already.
I spoke with Cody through PM who has been very helpful. He just informed me that GON has setup a page to buy this board on his website and provided me the links. I just have a few more questions before I place the order. I'm plan to have GON solder the case LEDs, diodes, and resistors (for the glow affect), but I can solder everything else myself. For the switch LEDs, will I need to purchase through hole diodes and through hole resistors? I already have LEDs, so I won't need those, but I'm not entirely sure about the resistors and diodes. I see both through hole and SMD are available for purchase on GON's website, but I suspect that the SMD are specifically for the case LEDs.
