Argyle 60 (GB over, Order submitted to manu)

I love the through-hole keyboards out there but I wanted one with a metal housing. So, I employed Jae of Prototypist (logistics and fulfillment), James of Alchemist Keyboards (housing design), and Yiancar (PCB design) to make my idea into a reality. To give it’s own flavor and to give a better view of the components, the components were split to the sides of the keyboard. The relatively high typing angle was also chosen to increase the visibility of the components. Even though 65% is my favorite layout by far, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to match the symmetry of the housing with the symmetry of the 60% layout. Because the focus of the keyboard is the side partitions, the rest of the design was kept relatively simple.
