60% Keyboard Kit

I have been using 60% keyboard. For some years, it was my practice buying a kit (of GH60 variant) around end of year (with Aliexpress or Taobao) and building it in new year.

Basically, a kit includes following:

• PCB
• Stabilizers
• Plate
• Case
• Key Switches
• Key Caps

And there are firmware like TMK, QMK, and KMK.

The first thing: Keyboard Layout

I decided ot use existing case and plate for 60% keyboard for availability reason.

Since I cannot find a good layout, I designed by myself, using keyboard-layout-editor. Here it is.

• I like MINILA keyboard for slightly left-shifted 4-th row and fullsize cursor keys.
• I like larger Alt key, next to space bar.
• I like 6U space bar (I don't like smaller one).
