The Pelican by Vladimir aka kapee1/kape.0 is a 60% O-ring case compatible with many PCBs of this form factor.

I was heavily inspired by the Bakeneko and Aperture (a keyboard from the local community with no worldwide GB). So I decided to combine the best of both and make it available to anyone who enjoys DIY projects as much as I do – Vladimir.

The hole serves multiple purposes at once: it helps reduce the front height without any consequences (but affects the sound, of course) and makes pulling out the whole PCB sandwich much more convenient.

Features

  • Unikorn-like O-ring mount
  • Space for a 402080 battery installation
  • Front height = 17.7 mm
  • C-series daughterboard compatibility
  • Most 60% O-ring PCBs will fit
