Nice60
Original IC

Because 6.9° boards are overdone and I really wanted
a travel friendly, wrist friendly board

Nice60 aims to deliver the typing sound and feel only
found in limited, high end keyboards in a nice, competitive
package.
Nice60 draws inspiration from the mounting
system in the OTD 356 mini and the low front height,
seamless look of Noxary products.
Mounting system
/ exploded view
The sandwich o-ring mounting
system lends itself to being a firm, yet pleasant typing
experience.
Relief top mount was added on a whim with
this proto revision, however I ended up liking it!
Proto pictures!
Side note, these protos are from the final manufacturer
and I am stoked for the finish quality. Normally I’m a
huge Karen when it comes to qc but I truly could not find
anything wrong with the anodized unit.
Another note,
on the raw unit, they accidentally started processing it,
so it isnt /as/ shiny as it should be.
It’s a proto and I didn’t want to make them re-machine an
entire new case so it is what is.
Specs:
-
Target Price: $250-300 Alu bottom, $300-350 Brass

- Lead time for manufacturing: 60-90 days
-
Material: Aluminum Top, Aluminum/Brass Bottom
/* Brass bottom will be sandblasted and matte coated - Typing Angle: 4.20°
- Front Height: 16.9mm

/* subject to change based on ic responses
KLE screenshot will be available when my PCB designer wakes up (s/o merro60 pcb)

Special thanks to Enigo (formerly PhilJB) for the
degen hour design talks, dks for steering me away from
throwing random curves on a keyboard, New England Keyboard
Discord for the feedback during meetups, everyone that has
supported me along the way, and lastly a special shoutout to
kabocha, because he’d probably complain if I didn’t
TODO:
Finalize
colors
Finalize pricing, pricing was quoted for a 100
unit run, but there’s definitely room for negotiation if
there’s enough interest.
A fun engraving
