COARSE 60%
by sehonky + Keebsforall
A $210 Alice 60% with a premium experience.
Leaf-Spring Mounting (that actually
works)!
A bouncy and energetic typing experience
combined with a crisp, sound (without needing foam) is one
of my favorite things about this board.

Aluminum Shell
Providing
noticeable weight and premium feeling. Finished with a
beautiful electrophoresis coating of white, navy, or black.
(price is not raised from what it would be with
anodization)
Multi-Layout Hotswap PCB + RGB Underglow
The PCB with the Coarse60 supports all alice
positions with hotswap except split backspace (solder
support), as well as full backspace, full right shift, both
left spacebar positions, and stepped and normal caps lock
with no interference (tested by Andy V Nguyen). It also has
a row of downwards-facing RGB LEDs that will illuminate the
frosted acrylic bottom.
Note: the final production PCB has top USB port.
QMK Support, VIA Support pending (will def be ready
by the time you receive your board)

Note About Plates
If you want
flex, go for aluminum. That is the only option with
leaf-springs. POM is too flexible inherently, and not only
can it not support leaf-springs, but requires extra mounting
points. POM would be more desired for its sound. Neither
plates are hollow sounding in our tested configurations (JWK
linears or tactiles).
ALU PLATE
Middle mounting holes (circled in red) are optional,
leaf-springs and acoustic cut.
POM PLATE
No leaf-springs or acoustic cuts, middle mounting
holes required.
Concerns?
There
was a concern that Andy V Nguyen brought up about bottoming
out when typing roughly. We brought the keyboard’s height up
by an mm, shortened the leafsprings slightly, and are adding
a foam sticker to the bottom of the PCB to address this
concern. We’ll keep you updated!

I
hope you consider this board, I designed it myself and
really do believe it is the best you can do with $210.
Have
a good day.
