Clear Plastic 65% / JKDK K68 Keyboard Shell

In the past, if you wanted a mechanical keyboard, you had to buy a huge IBM Model M Keyboard. But now, you can create your own compact mechanical keyboard with your favorite layout. For all DIY keyboard fans, here's a great option - a transparent plastic 65% keyboard shell, also known as the 'JKDK K68' type enclosure. It's the perfect starting point for your custom keyboard project. If you need a few more keys than a 60% keyboard and love a translucent base to show off your glowing LEDs, this is it. It's much more affordable than a milled and anodized aluminum shell, though it's not as heavy, durable, or flat. Still, it's an excellent starter shell. You just need to provide the matching PCB and bolt it into the base. It also has a slot for a USB C power supply. The package comes with four rubber feet and mechanical screw hardware. Remember, this is just the keyboard shell, so don't forget to get keycaps and switches.

Using this keyboard shell is easy. First, make sure you have a PCB that matches the shell. Then, simply bolt the PCB into the base of the shell. The shell has a slot for a USB C power supply, so connect your power source there. When it comes to maintenance, keep it away from sharp objects to avoid scratches on the transparent plastic. You can clean it with a soft, dry cloth. Just a reminder, this is only the shell. You'll need to buy keycaps and switches separately to complete your keyboard. Have fun building your dream keyboard!
