Our Designer

Many of you will know Cipulot from the immense contributions he has made to the world of custom mechanical keyboards over the past decade - particularly in the world of EC. Whether it be relentless support on Conical discord servers, or tireless innovation on both his own projects and those that advance the hobby. I am extremely proud to stock his EC PCB range here. We will endeavour to retain all PCBs in stock 365 days a year.

The EC60X SE PCB

The EC60X SE is an EC‑ready, VIA/QMK‑compatible PCB designed for 60% keyboards with MX stabilizer support (SE - stabilizer edition). This PCB is for people who wish to make use of either an upgraded PCB in their existing EC keyboard, or who wish to purchase a PCB for their new EC aftermarket case such as the Sho Labs keyboards.

See below for key characteristics:

Supports MX stabilizers
ANSI, JIS, & ISO layouts
Snappable Onboard USB-C port compliant with GH60 and alike standards
Cutouts for tray mount and O ring keyboards
JST header pre-soldered in H-60 location, with pads present for CannonKeys Bakeneko keyboards (who also sell these PCBs) & Unikorn. Of course other keyboards using these same case configurations should fit this PCB too.
GH60 outline compatible
RGB underglow
QMK and VIA support
Calibration, actuation customization, and rapid trigger (beta) available within VIA
Wired connection only

Via Cipulot

With the move to the EC60X-SE there are additional supports but, as always, you can't always have your cake and eat it too without staining your clothes. (That's a messy cake you got there Cip).

Please read carefully the following table to correctly prepare your new EC Pro 2/3 Bundle based on the assembly you are performing:

OEM HHKB Pro 2/Classic/Hybrid Plastic Case

You must snap off the USB-C port (note: some stocks form vendors may have the USB-C port unpopulated by default. If that is the case you do not need to snap off the PCB!)
You must relocate the JST connector from the default "H60-Stye JST" to the "Bakeneko-Style JST"

Aftermarket Cases
Given the massive number of aftermarket cases it's impossible to make a list right away so I'd advise you to simply dummy-test the assembly to verify the steps.

Generally speaking no changes should be required, but, based on the specific case:

You may have to snap off the USB-C port if the case has tight space around the PCB
You may have to relocate the JST connector to a different location if there is interferences with the default "H60-Stye JST" location

If you find that your specific EC60X-SE already is in the state described after the modifications then, needless to say, nothing needs to be done!

There are also plenty of folks online who will have tried the build you are planning and can verify compatibility. Also our EC thread on our discord has plenty of people willing to support you.
