This is an interest check for a custom-made 60% keyboard
case inspired by the
SkiData keyboard.
Preliminary renders:
Unique design features include:
CNC-milled unibody aluminum construction.
Extra-wide bezel.
-
Extra-deep pocket to hide switches, stabs, and other keyboard internals. This is not a low-profile case.
7° incline.
-
One-of-a-kind, SkiData-inspired, curved-slope front bezel.
-
Still TBD:*
-
Cost. I’m guessing somewhere in the $150 range, but that’s a very preliminary figure.
-
Finish. My first inclination is blue anodize to match the original SkiData keyboard, but if there’s enough interest in multiple colors I will look into the price difference.
Lead time.

About me (njbair)*
I’ve been a GeekHack member since February 2015. I’ve never run a group buy before but I’ve been actively involved in several buys and I believe I have what it takes to lead the IC & buying process objectively and see the project through to the end in a timely fashion with minimal drama.
I’ve got 8 years of CNC manufacturing experience, mostly moldmaking and tool & die work. Tool & die shops are not known for finish-quality work so I will be looking at vendors who can guarantee clean parts with no scratches or dents.
I’ve been able to apply my manufacturing experience in the design of this case to make sure that every feature is designed for easy machinibility. This should help mitigate costs quite a bit, as this board can be produced as-designed on a 3-axis mill in as few as two or three setups, with the appropriate fixturing. -
How can you help?*
-
I would love to produce some high-quality renders based on my 3D part designs. Anyone who is good with Blender or similar rendering software, please reach out to me.

I need feedback! Let me know what you think of this project so far, or ideas about what you would change about it.
