Design

After round 5, me and a friend sat down in Fusion 360 to design a 60% keyboard case in aluminium. At this time, there were just the FMJ 60% case and the hammer 60% as high end option on the market. In addition to the TEX low profile cases. You can read more about how the Fjell case came to be here. We ultimately ended up creating the heaviest 60% case, and the first keyboard case with beveled edges.

The first group buy for Fjell was in 2017. This group buy was hard to do, and required so many prototypes to work properly. The weight design, which is still found on the newest Fjell cases, has never been done in the keyboard community and requires an extreme amount of machining time and precision. I recommend reading the group buy thread below.
