**TLDR:
**

  • 60% PCB for tray mount cases and some custom 60% boards (JST connector)

  • two long flex cuts

  • ortho layout with three bottom row options

  • compatible with HHKB or WKL boards

    Early on into the hobby I developed an affinity for the ortho layout. Unfortunately there were not many options outside split ortho boards. For non-split boards it was primarily down to the OLKB Planck and Preonic. Then the Boardwalk PCB came along and suddenly there was some flexibility with larger boards in an ortho layout but keyset compatibility was largely an issue. Especially with GMK, Ergo kits were quite rare. This is my attempt to alleviate that problem with a 60% ortho PCB that has wide keyset compatibility. After all, 1u mod keys are much easier to come across than 1.5u ones. Yes, the XD75 exists, but it is full grid. Sure you can add spacebars larger than 1u to it, but without stab support you have to rely on very limited profiles and colors. The Plexus75 PCB includes 3 bottom row options: 2x2u, 2x3u, and 7u (layout pic below).

  • Plates*
    Please fill out THIS FORM so I can know which plates to order. This will most likely be an in-stock GB that will come with your choice of a hard or soft material plate. For example, you may be able to choose from either a Nylon or an Aluminum plate. My decision will be based off the most popular picks.

    Please be advised that if you use a 60% tray case with the Plexus75 that you will have to Dremel out 3 of the mounting points. It’ll take only 5 minutes and is rather painless. It also allows for a better typing experience since the middle of the board is free to flex.
