Hi, guys!
This is idea by a member from New Zealand who's looking for a custom case.
We design and modify based on the sketch.
But it is too hard to make it with single one.
So we're looking for running a GB to make it become real!
Update '18 Feb 9th - Group Buy launchedGroup buy thread :
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=93969Update '18 Feb 2nd - Price rangeWe named the Model B as Chiwi60.
And we're doing another poll for hhkb layout.
It is about 6u and 7u spacebar version.

Update '18 Jan 31 - Price rangeChinese New Year is coming.

Update '17 Dec 19 - 1st sampleManufacturer forgot the engrave legends on the bottom
Here's IC link : https://goo.gl/forms/F9TeptWGMgkfI3jC2Main Bodymade by anodized aluminum.
Maybe provide some PVD brass version.(Very expensive, you know, not possible to order too many XD)
Mount Platewill offer 2~3 versions or maybe more if layouts if MoQ reached for each layout.
Made by PVD brass.
Also, you guys can cut your own layout base on our files.
Default layout will be, which fits our DO60 PCB:
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=91773.msg2498690#msg2498690For default layout, only support plate mounted stabilizer.
Also, standard ANSI, ISO 60% universal will also available, support PCB mounted stabilizer.
Bottom plateis made by polycarbonate(For now, will check it again after sampling) with sandblast surface.
Nameplate is also PVD brass, insert in bottom plate.
- Poll
- protyping again and again
- Revise again and again

Looking for more opinions!
