Group Buy for the CANON 60!
Update as of 12/11/2020
Hi everyone, Friday update 12/11/2020.
There will be a total of 10 B-stock kits that will be available. Images of the type of blemish/defects have been uploaded to the store page in the B Stock Canon 60 Keyboard Case Kit product page.
__
Color options for the B stock sets will be pre-set to the most popular combos that I received during the original group buy run. For simplicity on my end, I created two separate pages “SET 1” and “SET2” on the store page.
SET 1 Color Combo:
Gold Set 1 :
Inner Brass Casing = Gold
PCB Plate = Black
Music Note = Black
Rose Gold Set 1:
Inner Brass Casing=Rose Gold
PCB Plate = Black
Music Note = Black
Black Set 1:
Inner Brass Casing = Black
PCB Plate = Gold
Music Note = Gold
Set 2 Color Combo:
Gold Set 2:
Inner Brass Casing = Gold
PCB Plate = Rose Gold
Music Note = Rose Gold
Rose Gold Set 2:
Inner Brass Casing=Rose Gold
PCB Plate = Gold
Music Note =Gold
Black Set 2:
Inner Brass Casing = Black
PCB Plate = Rose Gold
Music Note = Rose Gold

Changes can be requested once you’ve placed and confirmed your order but changes are NOT guaranteed as I have very limited stock.
No PCB will be included in the kit. I do have 4 available and will put them up separately on the store at the same time the kits go live.
B stock extras will be first come first serve and will be put up on codakeys.store on 12/13/2020 10:00AM PST
All other extras for PCB plates, music Notes, and Inner Metal cases will be put up on the store after B stock sales have been finalized.

Week 1 Update - April 4th, 2020!!
Hi All!
Just wanted to give a quick week 1 update for this group buy. Response has been great and I appreciate all of you that have already picked up a kit! Just want to reiterate that there is no MOQ set so production is guaranteed.
I have also added the option to purchase an additional inner metal case for those that want more color options for their entire set. (Product has been added to the store page)
Per request I’ve made renders that show every possible color combination for this set

Hi Everyone,
This is the group buy for this project I have been working for a while now. All the final preparations have been made and the group buy process is now ready.
Introducing the Canon60. This is a hi-profile case comprised of a metal casing encased in acrylic.


I created this keyboard in an attempt to create a floating type design. I also personally like the combination of acrylic and polished metals.
In order to create a clean floating look, there are minimal screws in this design. (Screws are only used to fasten the PCB to the inner case. The rest of the case will be held together with neodymium magnets.
Structure of the overall design:

Prototype Gallery

  • Complete Case Kit w/o PCB = $325.00 (Excludes Shipping)

  • Badge (Music Note)

Additional Details:

  • Fastening Method: N52 Neodymium magnets will be the main fasteners for this case. The prototype has no problem staying together with these magnets. The magnets are also not so strong that it is too difficult to take the case apart.

  • Color options for neodymium magnets will be silver or gold.

  • Total Weight:

  • About 2.5kg with switches and plate.

  • About 2.1kg for just the case.

  • Case does support any standard 60% tray mount PCB, so you can use your own PCB and plate if a specific layout is not supported.
