Jahre 65% | Classic Porshe 911 Inspired

Overview

Hello everyone, I'm Kenny.
Today I would like to introduce a new project from Grit Works � the Jahre 65%.

This kit takes inspiration from classic Porsche 911 design language while bringing refined elements to a 65% keyboard platform.

Design Inspiration

The Jahre 65% is inspired by the first three generations of the Porsche 911 (901, 930, 964), models that have stood the test of time and evolution.

Among these, the Porsche 964 Jubil�umsmodell �30 Jahre 911� stands out for its widebody and commemorative details.

The widebody form, badge treatment, and anniversary identity influenced the character of the Jahre � classic, elegant, and timeless.

---

Name Meaning

�Jahre� means �year� or �years� in German.
It represents longevity and endurance � qualities we hope this kit will embody.

---

Design Concept

The design integrates subtle automotive lines while maintaining a clean, refined, and elegant keyboard silhouette.

---

Top Case (Front + Side)

Each side of the top case features a shuttle-shaped curved edge that narrows slightly downward, referencing the subtle widebody stance of the 30 Jahre 911.

A fold line aligned with the bottom case curvature enhances the elegance of the side profile.

---

Bottom Case + Nameplate

The bottom case incorporates rear fender tuck lines and hood intake elements into its surface treatment.

A sandblasted black anodized aluminum nameplate is embedded beneath, with flat polishing and secondary anodization highlights.

---

Internal Weights

The internal weights reference the rear air intake grille form:

� Large stainless steel weight with RAW multi-line tool paths
� Engraved kit name
� Smaller weight with mirror silver PVD polishing

---

Structure

The Jahre 65% uses a silicone gasket mounting system with a Leaf Spring plate design.

The included silicone gaskets are reversible:

� Narrow side down → increased flex and bounce
� Wide side down → firmer and more stable typing feel

---

The 1.6mm black core PCB supports up to 8K Hz polling rate.

Available options:

� Mechanical Hot-swap
� Mechanical Soldered
� Venom 65% Magnetic PCB (compatible)
