S66
Designed by sartori.works
NEW COLOUR POLL, PLEASE FILL OUT

Inspiration
The S66 is a new take on the 660 layout, with the arrows as a separated cluster.
For me, the 660 layout is one of my favorites and the separated
arrows make accessing them slightly easier.

Features
The S66 has a top and bottom fully CNC machined out of 6063 aluminium for superior build quality.
A massive brass internal weight, spanning the entire board, allows extra density for the best possible sound quality and resonance, while at the same time adding a bit of extra heft.
By default the S66 will have an included aluminium plate, or you can make an upgrade to brass. It has the ability to be burger mounted as well, with the included O rings. The plate only screws in at 4 points in the topcase, allowing for more flex and a slightly softer typing feel. The PCB, designed by jtallbean, features a centered USB-C port as well as VIA compatibility (from sillyworld) and ESD protection. In the GB, you will be able to upgrade to case foam for a new sound signature and a carrying case to protect the board.
