# DK60 / DK60TP
Mechanical keyboard based on HHKB layout with or without Trackpoint.

## DK60
Just another fun(?) keyboard with HHKB layout.

Can accept normal caps lock or stepped. No backlit or RGB leds, just 2 leds on Caps lock and Esc.

All caps are in standard size to increase choice of keysets!

Accept MX, ALPS and clones switches.

Designed to fit in some 60% Poker cases.

* 1U - 1.5U - 6U - 1.5U - 1U
* 1U - 1.25U - 7U - 1.25U - 1U

## DK60TP
:warning: Still in development :warning:

DK60TP is just a big update of DK60 with support for IBM Trackpoint and backlit.

My goal is to recreate a Tex Yoga like but with many custom layouts.

Electronic is divided in 3 parts:
* Keyboard PCB (compatible with some 60% Poker cases)
* Mouse buttons PCB
* IBM Trackpoint
