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



---
PCB
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)
