Hello everyone,
DAN60 is a 60% keyboard with both a
gummy mount and a top mount keyboard.
These are
machined in-house!!(In Malaysia)
Round 1 Prototyping:
More
I made 2 prototypes for the first round. During
the first round of prototyping, I used what I call a “bones”
system to construct the case. The advantage of the “bones”
system is that I can adjust the gasket pillar position and
pillar height without making the whole new frame. Other than
that, I can try different colors at a cheaper price. The
prototypes were sent to my friends at Rebult and they gave
me some very useful feedback. To sum it up, I am not happy
with how the anodizing turned out because as many people
know, anodizing is a chemical reaction so it’s impossible to
perfectly color match all parts. Other than that, the front
height is taller than ideal.
Below are the pictures from round 1 of
prototyping:
Round 2 Prototyping:
More
In the second round of prototyping, I changed up the
internals completely. This helped reduce the front height to
17.39mm. Furthermore, I discarded the “bone” system so that
the layers will have a uniform anodization color. The top
and bottom layers now look more symmetrical, and the middle
layer is thinner. This gives the keyboard a classier look
compared to the first-round prototypes.
Below are the pictures from round 2 of
prototyping:
Round 2 Prototypes Colour:

Carrying Case:
Exploded View
Kit Specifications:
1x Case -
Top, Mid, and Bottom Layer (6061 Aluminum)
1x Stainless
steel weight (Half mirror polished and half machining mark
with engraved Qilin)
1x Plate (POM Black or White)
1x
PCB (h60 by hineybush)
1x Unified Daughterboard
1x
JST Cable
1x O-Ring (50A)
1x Screws (Extras are
included in case you lose some)
Kit Information:
Typing Angle: 6.5 Degrees
Front Face Height:
17.39mm
Price: $375-$400
MOQ: 30
units per colour (60 total)
I would like to set the cap
at 200 units because this is my first GB I think I should
take it slow and steady. It can also be an unlimited group
buy as we have many CNC Milling machines (depending on the
reception).
There will be an in-stock sale RAFFLE - 4 units
The sound test will be posted as soon as I
receive the PCBs from Hiney for the in-stock units!

Group Buy Plan:
Step 1:
Interest Check
Step 2: Getting the in-stock units
ready
Step 3: Fulfill in-stock order before starting
GB
Step 4: Get feedback & decide on colors
Step
5: Hopefully start GB by September 29
Step 6: Reach
MOQ
Step 7: I start Manufacturing
Step 8: QC and
Delivery
Q&A
Design language:
Q: Why the triple-layer?
A:
Aesthetic reasons. I want a keyboard that you could easily
identify just by seeing the side profile
Q:
How does the gummy mount work?
A: By
using an o-ring, there will be pressure coming from the
internal walls of the keyboard (from the side). Achieving an
isolated and “friction fit” keyboard.
Q:
Why include a top mount?
A: A top
mount would feel stiffer in comparison. As a result, users
can use different mounting styles depending on their
preferences.
Q: What’s different about
this keyboard?
A: It has a stainless
steel weight that has both a mirror-polished surface and
machine marks, something that I have never seen done before
other than on my keyboards.
FAQ questions:
Q: Will you
change something small to fit my niche needs?
A: No,
not for this run. I have spent a lot of time on this
keyboard. Changing something small to fit your niche needs
would require me to do some more prototyping which will be
very time-consuming and costly. However, feel free to give
me suggestions, I will always take the community’s input
into consideration.
Q: Will you offer something custom
like color or layout?
A: Yes, but not for this run. I
can do a private commission unit, but that would take time
and you will have to contact me privately. I can make the
arrangements.
Q: Will you consider increasing the
quantity?
A: 200 is my main target but yes. Ideally, a
higher MOQ will lead to a lower kit price. The staff at my
father’s company and the people from Rebult can help me with
handle large orders. If the quantity is too large, keyboards
will be sent in batches, focusing on those who ordered
first.
