Interest Checks / [IC] RHINO60 Custom Keyboard - JACKY DESIGN

RHINO60

A NEW DIRECTION FOR JACKY DESIGN



Modernism × Retro Classic × Brutalism



INTRODUCTION

Hey everyone! Meet Rhino60 — A New Direction for JACKY DESIGN.

This project has gone through a long period of refinement.
Most of our previous designs featured soft, rounded edges,

but this time we made a significant change by shifting to a
sharper, more angular case design with stronger geometric lines.

   


DESIGN LANGUAGE

Rhino60 gets its character from the rhino
strong, solid, and unmistakable.

We built the case around bold lines, defined edges,
and a substantial profile, keeping decoration to a minimum..

A subtle 0.9° curve is added to the front edge of the keyboard,
softening the sharpness of the angular design.

A brass rhino-engraved weight comes standard on the rear of the case,
echoing the rugged character of the overall design.

For us, this is a completely new design exploration, and we’re curious to see
how everyone responds to this change in style.

   


A RETURN TO CLASSIC

After extensive comparison and tuning, we found that classic retro keyboard structures,
refined and proven over time, still have a unique character in both typing feel and sound.

It’s this distinctive experience that inspired us to revisit the classic approach and
bring it into Rhino60.

We combined this proven structural foundation with Rhino60’s geometric case
design and mid-frame structure, refining the internal architecture through multiple
rounds of testing and adjustment.

Of course, we also kept the Top Mount structure, which remains a popular choice
among keyboard enthusiasts today. We hope this gives everyone the opportunity to explore
and experience the different typing feel and sound characteristics of both structures.



SPECIAL MID-FRAME LAYER

The mid-frame sits between the PCB and bottom case,
adding visual depth and character to Rhino60.

We made the MID-FRAME part of the design itself,
with horizontal ribs that add another layer of detail when you open up the board.

   

   

SPECIAL HHKB-LIKE LAYOUT

Rhino60 keeps the familiar 60% HHKB-like layout.

We left space between the key area and the outer case silhouette,
creating a distinctive stepped relationship between the two.

The $300 27 inch oleds are already quite common among g4m3rz.

Oleds will become common,  but Quality may still be lacking in many areas.

Peak brightness is still a challenge on small panels.

Tonemapping remains an ever present issue on everything except TVs.

TVs have big processors bolted to them.  Monitors unfortunately do not.

I have been using a logitech G15 since its release and despite typing way faster on some mechanical keyboards, I actually prefer the feel of the G15 and find mechanical switches ( at least those I have encountered and had the opportunity to use ) obnoxiously loud and distracting.

Hello !
For creamy tactile you can check Bsun switches, I have noticed their recent tactile switches are creamy.
For thew full size, if you like something with premium feel and look you can go with Qk100 Mk2, Qk102. Neo98
If plastic is ok, an Aula will do.
I highly recommend an aluminum board with brass or copper weight for long lasting satisfaction.

Interest Checks / Re: [IC] GMK CYL Zombie - Update - GB in October
« Last post by Bobatype on Wed, 23 September 2026, 08:54:48 »
After spending nearly a year in the grave, GMK CYL Zombie is finally ready to rise!
I'm pleased to announce that the Group Buy is scheduled for October 2 to 31, 2026, just in time for spooky season.

Kitting has been revised, with some optimisation so that there's a base kit for every survivor, TKL or full base kit.
Each base kit also now includes specialised skull artisan keycap (introduced from Mictlan [ty vheissu and NK]).
Translucent red alert row kit remains, and includes a red skull artisan keycap.
Slight revisions to novelties but they remain double-shot, with UV printing on top.

Full list of vendors as follows:
🇺🇸 US - NovelKeys
🇪🇺 EU - Oblotzky
🇬🇧 UK - Prototypist
🇰🇷 KR - Geon
🌏 SEA - iLumkb
🇨🇳 CN - KBDFans
🇦🇺 OCE - keebzncables

A huge thank you to Novelkeys and everyone who provided feedback and has supported the project

OLED for the win :)


Tp4 is losing hope for Microled.  Probably 10+ more years away from mass.

Oled is probably here to stay for a long time.

Inkjet OLED is on track, but the price is only about 30% lower.


With WAR spendings,  Tp4 suspects it won't be any cheaper after inflation.


I'm hoping OLED to be mainstream some time in next 10 years. It should be, amazing colors, why not to use it full time.
I dont know if burn in is still a huge issue - they make laptops with OLEDs, so having windows bar on screen all the time must have been tested so they know it wont kill it, right?

Inkjet OLED - I recently read some bits about it - so is it going to be just cheaper in production? No significant difference in image?
Does it mean $600 40" Inkjet OLED monitors in 5 years in every home? :)
