Nimbus 60
The Nimbus 60 is a magnet-mounted board with a
stylish exposed rear weight. The board has options for HHKB,
WKL, and WK tops. The mount on the Nimbus allows the plate
to have no contact with the rest of the case using 12
internal N35 magnets. The Nimbus uses a unique mounting
system differing from the Lodestone and Orca 60 which use a
gasket between the top of the case and the plate. The Nimbus
uses no gaskets making the first board to have no contact
between the plate and case.

Renders
The Board will be available in E-white, clear
anodized, E-black, and a fourth color option to be decided
by the community.
PCB/Layout
The PCB for the
Nimbus utilizes the universal daughterboard to allow maximum
unimpeded flex. The universal daughterboard also includes
ESD protection. There will be options for soldered and
hotswap PCBs with the soldered PCB supporting split
backspace, stepped caps, and split shift. The only bottom
row layout support is Tsangan to improve the appearance of
the plate.
Release Timing
Prototypes should be
arriving within 2 weeks. If there are no corrections
necessary on the prototype, the board should run within a
month of proto arrival.

-I understand that
some of you are concerned with my credibility given my age
however, this is not my first GB. I have already fulfilled
the Gentleman 65 GB which was produced in-house and ran in
late December 2020. All of the legal and financial matters
are handled by my business partner. If you don’t feel
comfortable with this please don’t join the group buy. I am
sure there will be plenty of extras!
-Given the
concerns regarding the IC not having a proto, I will be
machining an aluminum proto with the interior design of the
Nimbus this week. The proto from my manufacturer will arrive
in about 2 weeks.
-I have decided to show some pictures
of the mount to clarify how it works.
The mount uses four magnets in the bottom case, four
magnets encased in the plate, and four magnets in the top
piece. The magnets on the bottom are larger to account for
the weight of the Plate-PCB assembly. The plate is
stabilized through strategic internal positioning of the
magnets to create an inward force on the plate(not shown in
the render).
