I decide the kits as below,

  • Base : 60% kit
  • Add on : some keys for 65%
    So I also update the 3D rendering with 65%.
    Currently just wait to get the feedback to zFrontier for CN proxy.
    If I will receive the feedback, I will start to progress the GB soon.
    Always thank to Goldworms for 3D redering.

    Design Update
    Checked quotation.
    Quotation is not low as my expectation. Specially if we divide the kit separately(60% / 65% add on), price will be higher than total set as 5~6USD
    So I will decide the as below options.
  • Case 1 : Only 60% kit
  • Case 2 : Total kit but modify the 65% kit as delete the all function keys and add the R1~R4 blank keys
    I don’t tell the expectated price until final design and if design will finally fxed, I will calculate the expectation price.

    Design Updated.
    (1) Name is changed to ‘60’ Happy Life from ‘Trooper’’
    (2) Color are fixed : will be progressed by only two tone design.
    (3) Layout changed
  • For all 60% mini keyboards including HHKB with MX slider
  • Additional 65% keys (Arrow / Function)
    Regarding 65% keys, originally I planned to make separately. But it is not be estimated to have strong benefit.
    So now added in one set.
    More questions to myself.
  • Does it need the F1~F12 for 75%? How much increase the cost from adding this keys?
  • 75% KBD GBs are not many. Really need?
    Next Step.
  • Design fix
  • Making 3D Rendering
  • Get Quotation from GMK
  • Finding US Proxy

Hello.
I’d like to make new Interesting check.
Maybe many 60~70% mini users are very interesting this sets.
Now Duck0113 have been preparing New keyboard for mini and it will be HHKB style with asymmetry bottom row as same with HHKB. (See the last picture)
So I have been designing keycaps.
Please find the below,
Two sets are considered.
(1) Two tone.
Alphas : CR on GR1
Modi : CR on 2B
(2) One tone
All CR on N9
Rendering will be additionally modified as below,
[Base Kit]
This set is for Trooper and Viper

  1. Two tone
  • R2 backspace : Change to normal arrow
  • R4 Alt key : Change to Opt legends inclination
  • R4 control key will be changed below
    diamond icon needed(left position)
    Command mark inclination and increase size
  • Add 7U space bar for Viper user
  1. One tone
  • R1 : delete duplicated | \ key.
  • R2 backspace : Change to normal arrow
  • R4 Alt key : Change to Opt legends inclination
  • R4 control key will be changed below
    diamond icon needed(left position)
    Command mark inclination and increase size
  • Add 7U space bar for Viper user
    [Extended Kit]
    Rendering for extended kit will be prepared. Just please check the keys. (Icon modi design)
    This is for normal 60~70% user including 660M.
    Maybe one tone kit and Extended kit will be progressed in only GB.
    But two tone base kit will be possible to buy after finishing GB. (little bit higher price than GB)
    Current plan but not fixed yet.
    I will come back with updated rendering and I will prepare the poll for this interesting check. ;D
