Synopsis
A 60% keyboard featuring interchangeable stainless steel blockers for different layout configuration (WK, WKL, HHKB). The board uses O-ring gasket mount design similar to the OTD 356 mini with minimal compression, a stainless steel weight and blockers all round and rubber strip feet from Geonworks.

The design was previously archived back in July 2021 as we chose to run the Typ 65+ groupbuy first. It had went thru multiple revision and prototype in course of 6 months and finally ready for an interest check before going for in-stock sale after Typ 65+ is fulfilled.

As we had good suggestion to go with non two step design for our blocker, we had made some changes on this and here are the renders.


WK - Not changed from previous design


WKL


HHKB

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Case specification

• Designed by 14x71
• 6063 aluminium
• 7 degree angle
• O-ring gasket mount
• 16.60 front height
• Sandblasted and coated stainless steel weight and blockers (top, WK, WKL, HHKB)

• Twill carbon fiber plate (full)
• Weight: Approx 1.5kg unbuilt w/o plate (depends on what blockers you used
• Color: Titanium Silver / Angelite Blue (light blue)

The mounting system

The goal of the Typ 60 O-ring mount is to not have it pressure mounted from the sides instead it will just sit on the mounting points and the pcb and plate will be held together by the top blockers with minimal compression. This helps us to make full use of the O-ring softness/elasticity properties without it being too compressed, providing a softer and bouyant typing feel

PCB specification

• Designed by Kopibeng
• QMK and VIA compatible
• Solder PCB
• layout supports 7U and ISO (refer to picture below)
• USB-C daughterboard (ai03 unified C3 DB)
• OTD 365 mini flex and relief cut style PCB(1.6mm)
• Purple solder mask (tentative)
• PCB/Plate supported layout

FAQ

More

Q: Why no other plate design or material?
A: It's an in-stock sales hence i would prefer not to stock other plate in various material. However, files will be release to the public after the sales and yes we love CF since 2020.

Q: Why offer all blockers? Can I choose what I want?
A: Actually previously my thought that I would offer blockers based on user selection, but offering in stock would be difficult to gauge how many of you wanted certain blocker. 

Q: What did you change in V2?
A: Added weight on the back, change how the interior design and added alignment pins, try out different colors and also shorter ledge on the side.

Q: What did you change in V3?
A: New blockers, and some internal fine tune adjustment made.

Great IC! Looking forward to the in-stock GB!  :heart:

P.S. I am the first.

[OnceThinkTwice]

Simple, clean, and aesthetically pleasing ! I absolutely love 60% !

Can't wait for the in-stock sales to grab one for myself, good luck axiöm studios and all the best for this project !

[pinguha]

I want one so bad

[Kasterborous]

So hot

Are there closeups of the blockers themselves? I like the concept of this and the execution is interesting, but the one gripe I have is the horizontal line that separates the blocker piece from the layout it is emulating. It reminds me of the ugly style of blockers that the KMAC used and frankly to me it just looks absolutely hideous. It'd be much better if this line simply weren't present. I'm wondering if it's a "step down" effect I'm seeing visually or if it's because of the lip, but it almost appears as if there's an actual line separating this part, and it drives me nuts lol

Also, will you offer that light blue as well?

Hello sir, its a design choice because we wanted to make it blend better with inner chamfer of wk wkl and hhkb together, so we decided with this route.


you can see here what i mean by the inner side chamfer.
the connection at the corner inner chamfer make it more cohesive and brings out the our signature lip

As for the light blue, unfortunately it will not be offered for this run, but we will being back this colour soon on the next round or upcoming boards

I see.

I think this is a deal breaker for me, but I appreciate the insight.

GL with the sale!

[wt1155]

thx for the feedback sir

[ee]

I agree that that line makes it look extremely weird to me, almost like it's 3 pieces not one, not a fan

[Sandy]

This is a really good idea great work! It’s similar to the rose60

[zea]

love the idea but i'm of the same opinion as lightning, the look of the blockers end up bothering me.

would be totally down for this if the blocker thing was addressed and you guys offered Angelite Blue as an option because that color is just sick.

gl with the sale guys!

Will definitely look into it, will keep any development posted on this and I have added a section for this in the FAQ as well. Appreciate you guys dropping some suggestion for us! - Vyron

[elongatedmusk]

+1 to reconsider the blocker-line thingy, i also think that it looks kinda off, even more so on the WKL blockers for some reason.

glwic and sale regardless

[Keeblet_257]

4XX? man thought this was a cheap board where you can buy the top piece seperately to allow me to try out WKL and HHKB without spending 300$+.
thats a bummer great board but a no for me since I already ahve enough 60%s and this one doesnt look extraordinarlily special that createt a WOW effect when I saw it

Good luck with the FCFS though

uhhhh dude the title literally says that they're made out of stainless steel, and it's instock with 80 units, how do you expect this to be less than 300 bucks?

only blocker and weight are stainless steel, body is aluminum. Agree with the comment said even z60 evolved cost way less than this and it even have brass blocker as optional. I mean its a good board nonetheless.

[wt1155]

Hey guys, we have made some redesign on the Typ 60 blockers from your feedbacks, look forward to your new feedback on them

the title says "[IC] Typ 60 - 60% keyboard with interchangeable SS blockers" yeah stainless steel blockers and not stainless steel board just because a small part of the board is made out of a more expensive material than alu doesnt mean that the whole board is made out of it btw just because it is instock doesnt mean that it is per definition expensive or should have X pricetag.
no need to get so aggressive just because I hoped for it to be cheaper.
This is basically the part of the hobby I hate. Some ppl are just getting aggresive for no reason because someone said something they dont like to read.

[gloomycloud]

Very interesting project!

16.60 front height

Can I know the adjusted front height w/o the feet?

Great work implementing feedback

[LightningXI]

New blockers look much nicer. Looking forward to seeing more if you decide to prototype the pieces.

[wt1155]

Thank you all for the feedback on the Typ 60, we will be making another proto to make sure everything is good as well 

[clayclws]

The new blockers are nice. Looking forward to this!

[Rafa_n]

really liking the new blockers

[Ph32]

Would the typ 60 cost more or less than the typ 65?

[_PixelNinja]

The new blocker design is works better IMO. I'm still not too sure on how I feel about the lateral cutouts though. The shape seems somewhat out of place —too curvy— relative to the overall stocky design. But that's just me.

[moyu.studio]

cool!!

[wt1155]

Thank you everyone for the feedbacks so far 

V3 prototyp with the new blockers and some refinement on the internals have been ordered and ETA for next review should be in March - April
We will also be testing some new changes to the plate cuts and how they interact with 1.2mm and 1.6mm pcb before deciding on the best configuration for the board
Stay tuned for some interesting collab as well 

[wt1155]

Current updates:
07/04 - Prototype machining should be underway and due to having to commit for 3rd revision prototype, our in-stock sales date will be put on halt till further notice (least till we get it right before announcing sales date depending on manufacturing timeline)

Typ60 so lit

[Gerevala]

I like the colors that you make on weight. It's so beautiful. but will you plan for add other kind material for plate like FR4 or POM?
