Title: I made myself a GH60 keyboard case...
Post by: AIRPOTTER on Thu, 11 May 2017, 09:58:10

Hello everybody ;D~
As a rookie player of keyboard. I like the atmosphere of geekhack，and Learn a lot here.

A few months ago，first time came into contact with the custom keyboard（GH60） in geekhack.
It's feels like opening the door to the new world.

And cause I can do a little design(a graphic designer), and my cousin has a CNC factory.
So a few weeks ago, I decided to make a 60% keyboard case by myself.

Now,time to  show  my work ^-^

There are render drawings：

And I want know  do you like this desig :confused:?

This time is more like a test for me, because I chose the most common keyboard arrangement（Poker）,and the next step is to make a set of XD60 :)（Because I think XD60 is better useing and better looking... :p）

Wow that is a great looking case IMO! I would definitely be interested in a GB at some point if you choose to sell these (which I would do if it is feasible for you). It reminds me of the Lambo cases but has a cleaner design & sleeker look. Great work OP! :thumb:

I immediately thought Lambo as well, but the geometry is just so much better on this case. Fantastic job.

This is beautiful work. I'd love to buy a case like this.

I second the GB idea. If it is indeed feasible.

Thank you very much for your compliment，U won't realize how happy I am now，LOL...

In the early days, I wanted to try using some tough lines to design the whole shape and I also want to make the geometry shape change more smoothly（especially the side face）...
After a some sketches, I decided to use the design that divides the sides into two surfaces with one curve.This sketch shows my initial design, and then perfects the design in the modeling software...
(https://i.imgur.com/xIhb1ZP.jpg)

And after seeing your comments, I went to see the design of Lambo; and find the starting angle of the curve on the side is a bit similar,It really made me a little sad...

I'm from China and not very good at English（All the sentences have to be translated by Google）,also a rookie in Geekhack...so It took me a whole afternoon (Beijing time) to find out what GB means,lol...and I don't know what OP means till now...
But now I haven't thought about how to handle the group buy；if one day later, I decided the operation,I will contact you...
Finally, thank you again for your affirmation and praise...

Thank you for your confirmation！ ;D As your word,Lambo's designer and me did use the similar method in the side face design :(. And I use my honor guarante，it's only creative crash...

About sales or group buying，I haven't considered how to do mass production yet. If I'm sure, I'll contact you. Thanks again！

Have to say, the product that oneself design can be used by more people or approbate , it is a  real happy thing^-^；but I haven't considered how to do mass production yet...  :( If I'm sure, I'll contact you. Say thanks again！

The case look really nice, the lines are very aesthetic and the overall appearance is modern while discrete. A group buy for it would be a success.
