There are no 60% keyboard with knob on market, if you have, please share your picture.

I found a hotswap pcb on krepublic that has a knob on it, however you will need to use split backspace as the knob is on the top right, it does have via so if you want a backspace in the top row, than you can swap the keys so delete is on the key to the left of the knob. The pcb seems to be compatible with all gh60 cases so any case will work there. From people who have used it the rotary encoder is meh, but it's still the only commercial example I can find.

Link to it is here - https://kprepublic.com/products/bm60ec-bm60-ec-rgb-60-gh60-hot-swappable-custom-mechanical-keyboard-pcb-programmed-qmk-via-rgb-switch-type-c-rotary-knob

The only other example I've seen was this GSKT-00 by pr0ximity that has a knob instead of an esc key. I'm not sure if he put it on there himself or it was an already existing pcb though.

Hopefully this helps somewhat.

cherry blacks - unlubed - filmed and springswapped with tx 55g mediums - alu Plate | pretty happy with this, the blacks were cherry picked so they weren't that scratchy to begin with, but currently breaking them in, may lube them with a dry lube like ro59 or ptfe powder.

lubed with tribosys 3203 | like topre a lot, prefer it lubed but did make less tactile but that might have been a skill issue. probably will get more tactile over time as the domes age.

bad orange alps lol | definitely needs a restoration. planning on wax boiling them and maybe a replacement pcb because the board has only 2 key rollover apparently.

gateron yellows - lubed with 205g0 - 62g tx mediums - pc plate | probably my favourite keyboard already, feels super nice and sounds pretty good, it's got a great layout as well. probably gonna build this with mx browns, I feel like it would suit the board more.

stock with silent reds | Pretty cool looking board, the silent reds are actually good, they are smooth and I don't mind the mushiness (it's not even that mushy as well). the layout is pretty weird, but is useable. will probably mod this in the future. maybe a pcb and plate swap, change the keycaps to something dolch like, and also spring swap the springs in the silent reds.

stock, needs a cleaning and probably replacement foam. Do plan to change layout so it has split bs and rs, as well as ansi enter.

Built with new nixies on pc half plate. Love this board already, probably the best looking board I own, those brass accents are so mint. Really like it as is, but I do want to try an alu build (probably with nixies as well) just to experiment with that.
