Hi all, welcome to the IC for my first design. It is a sleek, gasket mounted 65% board, designed with a clean look in mind.

Coming from the classic fullsize gamer-RGB board with max-decibel switches, building a 65% with smoother switches was a breath of fresh air.
Yet I wanted something more stylish than the simple plastic case I had found myself with, so I started designing one. After many iterations,
I am finally at a point that I am pleased with the case and can start gauging people’s reaction, to see if there is enough interest to warrant
a production run, or rather keep this at a personal project.
IC FORM
The RSB-1 was designed with a sleek look in mind, avoiding some of the usual tropes of a gasket mounted board, like the flat ridge around the top where the screws go through.
As such, the sides and corners are rounded and no screws are visible from the outside, giving it a softer appearance than other boards.

If there is a clear interest in the board I will go ahead with requesting prototypes, quotes, vendors, etc.
I am very open to any type of feedback and suggestions, since this is my first design I may have overlooked or just
weren’t aware of certain expectations/wishes, so please let me know!
Thank you for reading!
