zeit // Plateless 65XT
The "Zeit Plateless 65XT" is a custom mechanical keyboard design by emin, featuring a 65% layout with an XT column. Designed to be tadpole-plateless, this keyboard emphasizes aesthetics and functionality, fabricated using components like A6063 aluminum cases, sandblasted brass, and stainless steel weight pieces. The design process involved learning Fusion 360 and overcoming failed prototypes. Current imperfections and future improvements focus on mounting techniques, PCB connector issues, and aesthetic details such as custom rubber feet. The upcoming group-buy aims to refine the design further based on user feedback.
