Title: Real dimensions of GH60
Post by: Bjack795 on Tue, 09 October 2018, 07:52:41

Hi all,

I'm a bit confused because
here:
https://www.banggood.com/GH60-DIY-Mechanical-Keyboard-PCB-Support-Breathing-LED-60-Cherry-MX-Poker2-Poker3-p-1084998.html?utm_campaign=15750054_1084998&utm_content=3216&p=AS022115750054201711 (https://www.banggood.com/GH60-DIY-Mechanical-Keyboard-PCB-Support-Breathing-LED-60-Cherry-MX-Poker2-Poker3-p-1084998.html?utm_campaign=15750054_1084998&utm_content=3216&p=AS022115750054201711)
I see that the GH60 pcb is 18.5 cm long

and here:
https://meckeyalpha.com/products/caplwh001 (https://meckeyalpha.com/products/caplwh001)

I see that the case is 29.5 cm long

Since I don't think that the border is 5 cm on every side, could you explain to me which are the real dimensions of the GH60?
I have to 3d print a custom case that should be as small as possible.

Roughly 28.5cm. The case is bigger than the PCB.

I don't know anything about whatever "GH60" is sold on bangood but info about the real GH60 can be found here (http://blog.komar.be/projects/gh60-programmable-keyboard/).

You probably don't need anything more than this.

Perfect, thanks to both.
(Maybe on banggood they confused 28.5 with 18.5)
