This is the G60 Velora.
A 60% keyboard designed
around features often found in modern buildings (like
stadiums, sport arenas etc) where
depth of layers is
utilized to create interesting geometry.
With this
inspiration I wanted to give the side profile the same
impression and from there the design developed.
The
weight was given the shape of a trophy due to the stadium
/ arena theme.

Supported Layouts
G60 Velora is designed around the DZ60 PCB and the
plate will support all listed layouts (no 2u shift row).
Only
either HHKB or WKL will be offered as an optional top.
Please leave your vote in the IC form if you prefer any of
those.
Hotswap PCB for both ANSI and ISO will be
available as well.
Mounting Style
This keyboard is gasket mounted and have
been tested with plenty of gaskets with different properties
to achieve what I think is a great sound and feel.
This
keyboard is therefore sold without foam.
The only contact between the top and bottom of the
case are these four ledges circled in the picture below.
For
those of you who like to experiment with “force break
modding” etc, 4pcs of 0.5mm custom adhesive gaskets is
included which can be placed on those ledges.
