Interest Checks / [IC] Zoom64 Hunyuan(混元) - A 64% Barebone and A GH60 Compatible Case Kit for 2026
« Last post by Ckeeb on Thu, 08 January 2026, 10:22:35 »Hi Everyone!
Happy New Year! Right after saying goodbye to 2025, we are so glad to bring our first design to cherish a fresh 2026. May our new design deliver more fun and joy for our community! Most of you may be curious about the name Zoom64 "Hunyuan" (混元). No worries, we will break this down for you : )
The term "Hunyuan" (混元)
Rooted in Taoist philosophy, meaning "Heaven and Earth undivided, all things as one." To better understand, we would love to use the English term "Hybrid Origin" to explain its design concept.
"Hunyuan" (混元) Hybrid Origin
The starting point of design diversity and compatibility.
We hope it can be the hexagon warrior that perfectly integrates structure, craftsmanship, functionality, lighting, color, and acoustic excellence.
The Core of "diversity and compatibility" for keyboard case design
Zoom64, our third-generation functional structural Case
We roughly divide keyboard cases into three generations from our understanding:
First Generation: tray mount case. The function was simply to "carry," like a basic box.
Second Generation: structural case. The function evolved to "carry + provide a different typing feel, allowing everyone to customize their typing experience.
Third Generation: functional structural case. It's more than allowing you to customize your typing experience; it adds a knob to your GH60 PCB, too.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Zoom 64 Hunyuan has TWO Versions
Zoom64 barebone kit
Made for the classics. It includes cases, PCB, and all that a barebone kit needs.
Zoom64 case kits
For 61-key PCBs:
Add a knob to GH60 PCBs! Time to add a knob to wooting or other modules : )
It is built with a hub inside to connect the current Flux60 HE (Babao 60 HE) module and the knob (controlled by VIA).
For 64-key PCBs
For 64-key PCBs, for example, the Flux60 HE (Babao 60 HE) module, the aluminum hall effect PCB module will be released from Wuque Studio soon.
Aesthetic and Industrial Design Diversity
The aesthetics of "Integration."
Can we have a knob on a 60%? We have been asked again and again, but how to make it integrated beautifully and elegantly at your fingertips? We made it here.
Recessed Metal Knob with Knurling
We insisted on a recessed design to preserve the integrity of the 60% layout, as it should feel like a natural extension of your fingertips. The knob features precise knurling and a push-pin design for true quick release.
Seamless, Edge-Free Macro-Curved Surfaces
The bottom case features an integrated, wrapping curved surface. We've smoothed away all excess edges, making the entirebottom case feel like a water-tumbled pebble, offering a silky-smooth touch at every point of contact.
Invisible 360°Halo Light Bar
We've hidden a 360°ring light bar within the transitional form of the case.
When illuminated, the light emerges as an ambient glow "grown" from the case itself, gently outlining your desk space, not as an abrupt RGB strip.
Aurora Arc Side Profile
The concave side profile is inspired by the "Aurora Bend." 极光之弧（Aurora Bend）After countless prototypes, we found this balance point between the visual center of gravity and layered aesthetics, combining beauty with a sense of depth.
Low Front-Height Sloped Design
Ergonomically angled design to alleviate wrist pressure.
Functional Weight
A "Race Track" profile groove surface with wave texture enhances grip during desk movement.
Artistic Silicone Feet
Moving beyond traditional feet that just cover screw holes, these specially designed twin-ear shapes visually integrate with the macro-curves, as if gently leaning in to listen to every keystroke.
Diverse Finish Treatments
Anodization,acustatic, carving, spray-anodization, we bring them all to Zoom64.
Carving
Marbleano
Spary-anodization
The Drift Gray finish is achieved through an exclusive "Spray-Anodization" hybrid process, meticulously replicating the authentic, matte texture and subtle warmth of linen fabric.
Fine powder, applied via spray electrophoresis, creates an even base that is then sealed and colored through anodization. This results in a uniquely serene gray tone, laced with fine particles of light.
220-mesh Anodizing
It provides the topmost industry-level silky touch feel on the aluminum case.
Composite Shock-Absorption Structure
Silicone gaskets and O-Rings are both optional, supporting "no-foam" tuning to effectively reduce hollow sound.
For full magnetic switch mods, using silicone gaskets is the best pairing; O-Rings are not recommended.
Promosed Colors (Please check the IC form to tell us which one you like)
Proposed Special Editions (Please check the IC form to tell us which one you like.
Note: we already see a lot of interest for the marbleano and carving ones, but we are facing a lot of difficuties on making the acrylic cases, the case is thick and we have been testing for the past half year on the structure, the structure design was finally approved last month but now we are challenged by the finish treatment on the acrylic cases, failed to get ideal finish after sampling 5 times till the day we release this IC. We couldn't manage to send them out to content creators. We need to see how much our community wants us to include this in GB, or shall we put it in a later release?
Please find 3 proposed acrylic cases below:
What we like most is their RGB effect. Check our hands-on test video.
A glance at test-run production units' photos (some were sent to content creators)
Note:
A test run means we produce them using our mass-production suppliers, machines, and materials. It's different from "sampling, which can be sent to special sampling manufacturers, who won't produce the mass production units. We ran a test-run for 2 purposes:
1. Test production before mass production, so that we can make sure mass production goes well.
2. Sent to content creators to share more reviews and collect suggestions too.

Interest Checks / Re: [IC] GMK CYL Ramu Fans - a delicious keycap set
« Last post by Shark on Thu, 08 January 2026, 09:51:54 »There seems to be enough interest in having a 40s kit, so I am working on adding that this week!johnkeyboard, thank you for the kind words!
Some updates from my side:Thank you and a happy holidays and new year!
- Another round of iteration on the novelty icons and I think I'm pretty happy with them.
- There was interest in international support in the IC form, alongside full 40s support & 2.25u and 2.75u alice bars.
- Moved the marketing page away from my personal site to bord design, which will be my new identity moving forward.
- Had a vendor from Singapore reach out, so that's an exciting update. (still searching for a lead vendor)
Are there any plans for a 40s kit?

Keyboards / Re: Why do tenkeyless layouts dominate over "nav-less" designs?
« Last post by zegonix on Thu, 08 January 2026, 02:09:35 »i felt the same for quite a while. but a few years ago i bought a KBD67 by accident.. (meant to buy a Tiger Lite ..... yes, i am stupid). i was disappointed at first, but i gave it a try, using layers of course, and while the KBD67 (at least my unit) is utter garbage, i have never looked back. the biggest keyboard i have used on a daily basis since then is the cycle7.
but as already mentioned, i heavily rely on layers, otherwise i would need a TKL.
(i use caps lock and the key to the right of space as layer shifts.)

Interest Checks / Re: [IC] GMK MTNU Welles | Samples, Updated Colors and Kitting!
« Last post by madmax13 on Thu, 08 January 2026, 00:22:17 »I have received some questions about the colors of the keys because the renders look different. Firstly, my kitting diagrams are the "control" for what I think a "neutral" version of the colors looks like. Then I use the board renders to show the kit under different lighting conditions- differing levels of brightness and color temperature. This raised some Qs about the colors for this set. I have received the samples from GMK and have posted them above. Here it is under a few different light intensities, and one with a slightly "warmer" light.

Keyboards / Re: What is best latest TKL keyboard kit I could buy?
« Last post by phinix on Wed, 07 January 2026, 17:52:02 »OK, test number.... 113.
Tomorrow new keyboard will be delivered - Nuphy Node 100 (low profile, beige version).
I hope mods on that will be ok. However, it is kinda messed up full size cause cursor cluster is moved
I hope that those red switches going to be heavy enoughf or me. I wonder if low profile needs lighter spring for same result as standard profile.
