CANON60 IC Updated(02/01/2020)
Hi Everyone,
This is the final interest check before the group buy. Prototypes have come in and final preparations for the group buy are being made.
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:

Additional Details:

  • About 2.5kg with switches and plate.

  • About 2.1kg for just the case.
