damn thats a great looking board

I like the color scheme that is going on with the board

Awesome! The case color is really nice and it goes so well with the side LED choice  :thumb:

That's dark grey w purplish blue?? I thought it was black w blue LEDs . Do you have any more pics of the board, perhaps in a more neutral/everyday light? I'm thinking of ordering parts for my own Gon board soon and trying to decide on colors.

Gorgeous board!

Yeah unfortunately the LEDs always come out as blue in my photos.  They actually look like a soft purple with some blue to them.  And the dark grey does look like dark grey, but my pics are pretty dark. :)

I don't have any sunlight photos of the bare board right now, but here are some previous photos that should give a better idea of the dark grey.  Just a note that GON told me that dark grey was discontinued and that mine was the last one in that color.

take two pics!  One with something purely white in it to white balance the pic off of.  It may fix it :)

I'd really like a GON 60% keyboard in an aluminum case (with no LEDs).

What all do I need to buy from GONs if I just want to put this in a compatible PokerX case (I really like the TEX cases)? Do I need a plate? I know I need the PCB, do I need diodes?

Thanks for the help!
Diodes are a must. Resistors are necessary if you intend on putting in LEDs. Plate is optional but recommended.

haha, it's pretty dark, and i guess it looks close to a matte black in low lighting.  anyways, i picked grey to serve as a neutral color so that i could use the board with both light and dark colored caps.  i love the looks of bright colored boards, but then i would be mostly stuck with keycaps that matched that color.

looking forward to seeing what you get!  it'll take a few months though...!   :p

Well, I actually got this one by trading my old Listerine, so I shall pass. :)

That looks beautiful.  Love the blue plate with blue bolts, and they are such pretty shades of blue.  What color LEDs did you get?  Looking forward to more pics. :)

Yellow and aqua are two of my daughter's favourite colours.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Yeah my bottom row is 1.25-1.25-6.25-1.25-1.25-1.25.  I wanted a third key on the bottom to act as the second function layer key. So my bottom row is fn, alt, space bar, alt, fn2, ctrl.

Beautiful, just beautiful..... I wish the acrylic case had the NerD engraving on it.

kind of a bummer that this case doesn't allow for switch opening but it makes sense too since it's a "floating switch" design so it'd probably be visible even with the caps on and slightly ugly. At the same time he also took the care to get the switch notches done so i guess that's the tradeoff.

I am referring to side LEDs. I am not sure if there are locations for front LEDs though; however, based on the pictures posted recently for a 40% with a front one, I wonder if the Nerd60 has a location for a LED at the front.

I am referring to side LEDs. I am not sure if there are locations for front LEDs though; however, based on the pictures posted recently for a 40% with a front one, I wonder if the Nerd60 has a location for a LED at the front.

GONs website does mention Side LED support for the Nerd60 PCB so I would guess it support Side LEDs all around like the tkl PCB for example.  :)

However I couldn't find a pic of the bottom of the Nerd60 PCB atm to confirm that it does.
Didn't you just receive yours ideus, did you post pics by any chance?

For the tkl version there is a pictures of the bottom on GONs website and you can see the soldering spots for Side LEDs going all the way around.

I will try to find the spots myself; if I do not find them, I will post some pictures for you to help me with it.

  • 60% is more than enough.

got to soldering the rest of the in switch leds and bottom smd leds, i was to eager to assembly/scared of ruining the board to start with soldering the top pcb smd leds (first real solder project, ever.) but i think this will do just fine :P
i'm not a fan of the dsa keycaps though, will probably change those for some ducky/dcs-profile.

one 40% and seven 60%'s

I just found some pictures from seedvd's Nerd60 Build Log which shows pictures of the PCB bottom.

It doesn't seem to be a V2.0 PCB but I quickly marked the Side LED spots incase it might help you out ideus! :)





It would be pretty awesome if you could share some pics of your PCB tho since I haven't seen many of the V2 PCB!

The Side LED spots should also be marked on the PCB so you can always refer to GONs tutorial on soldering Side LEDs as well!

Thank you very much for the pictures. Problem is I just ordered resistors for LEDs inside the switches, and the side ones take less ohms. Eitherway.

Sure, welcome Ideus!
I just tried to figure out my order for a Nerd60 with Crystal case and posted a few questions I had regarding LED resistors and more aswell... xD

you can basically go buy the resistors in your local electric shop. Gon has recommendations on the site.
