Stratos

Stacked acrylic, gasket mount, 60% keyboard
GB Closed: etype.us

Build Guide
269019-0269021-1
Stratos is a cascading, stacked acrylic keyboard with a premium typing experience.
269023-2269031-3
The curve of the case from the top to the bottom was designed to highlight the acrylic layers rather than hide them.

Gaskets are implemented to create a comfortable typing experience that isolates the plate from the rest of the case. Sound dampening foam is placed in between the plate and PCB for better acoustics.
Mounting System
269027-4269029-5

The 6 tabs provide mounting locations for gaskets on top of the plate. The 6 mounting locations on the bottom side of the plate are supported by the foam between the plate and PCB, acting as a gasket.
/The green PCB shown is for visual purposes. The final PCB will be black./
Interchangeable Top Layer
269162-6269164-7269166-8

The top layer can easily be swapped to create a standard, WKL, or HHKB layout.
