Propeller
Hello. I’m proud to announce the IC for a project I’ve had in the works for quite some time. Propeller is a seamless top mount 60% made from aluminum that has a 7 degree typing angle. It features a Hiney H60 PCB & Daughterboard. The sides are inspired a bit by the HHKB HG and the bottom engraving is of a Propeller from the C-130J line of aircraft.

Why did you choose the engraving that you did?
My mother had worked as a flight test engineer for the C-130J so I grew up hearing stories all about it. It’s also a beautiful aircraft that has shown its capability to adapt to the many environments and mission sets it’s given. The propeller is the most obvious distinction between the J model and the previous H models so that’s the main reason I chose it.
What’ll be included:
Top Case: Anodized Aluminum (WK, WKL, HHKB)
