[IC]S60 - Alu and PC housing for HHKB pro2

[Sho-hhkb]

Hello everyone, I am Sho,About 1 month ago I posted the IC of our first project, the SR2 Realforce R2 87 Aluminum case (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=117221.0)

While we are still pushing that project into GB, we found more people are interested in HHKB housing. So today we want to share some photos of S60.

Fair pricing and cool project. With the new DES housings we only need to harvest springs!

interesting project, might consider offering softer platematerials. I really like the alu plate in my evija, it is a noticable difference from topre on steelplates.

would be great if you release plate files so we can experiment with softer plates?

yes, please consider offering a softer plate type (aluminum, carbon fiber, fr4), or releasing the plate files so that we can make them ourselves. stainless steel (and the brass that was originally offered) deviates pretty far from the typical hhkb typing experience.

regardless- great price, selection, and anticipated turnaround time. still on the fence about buying due to the plate, but will probably end up doing it anyway because why not.

Thank you for your support and suggestion. We decide to provide Alu plate as options, or add-on. Just updated the main post. Also we will provide CAD file of plate.
