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.

Bottom row:

• 1U - 1.5U - 6.25U - 1.5U - 1U
• 1U - 1.5U - 6U - 1.5U - 1U
• 1U - 1.25U - 7U - 1.25U - 1U

DK60TP

⚠️ Still in development ⚠️

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

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

Firmware

DK60 is officially supported by QMK: https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/tree/master/keyboards/dk60

DK60TP still in development and does not have actually associate firmware.
