[IC] TS60 - A 60% Aesthetically Budget Case
« on: Fri, 27 November 2020, 02:02:02 »
Greetings, we are TS Workshop, a group of enthusiasts from Vietnam.
We love them keebs and fortunately the stars have aligned such that we have the skills and the passion to come up with our own design.
Months in, we have finally gotten a satisfactory prototype and we would love to hear your thoughts about it.

- INTEGRATED PLATE in top part - we are planning to go for 2 options: ANSI and HHKB

We wanted to test the ability of the anodizing service we are using so we have opted with multiple colors for this prototype.
And... we love Gundam, so we took this opportunity to go make one with Gundam's colorway

UPDATED: New prototypes in different colors and keycaps profiles.

Explosion shot is a picture where the part is all disassemble to see how it is put together :)

Not really feeling this but it's good to see more budget options entering the market :D

Good luck with the IC and I hope the eventual GB!

I realized the sound test video was ’unlisted'.
Just fixed that silly mistake, sorry.

Very specific in taste, but pricing is solid compared to the current offerings ;)

Looks good.  I like that you're leveraging the DZ60 PCB.  Will the ANSI plate allow for split backspace support?  Or only the HHKB plate?

High chance that the ANSI plate will support split backspace  :thumb:

Hi guys,

Thank you for your inputs via IC form. And with that in mind, we'll be revising the integrated plate option into FR4 gasket mount with 2 different options: ANSI+ISO universal plate and HHKB.
Beside that we will also revamp the bottom piece into a more slopey and unibody design, so, no more feet.

Stay tuned!

how possible would it be to provide different color plates so we can mix and match. like the gundam one for example?

We would probably go with 3 main colors and you can pick which one to go for the top/bottom piece. Then again, nothing is set in stone, it's all about quantity and QC.
