📄 Product Description
Nexus – 60% keyboard case with a customisable backplate
The Nexus is a 60% keyboard case by Kezewa, designed by Nuxros – and it makes customisation the core concept: a CNC-machined unibody case with distinctive accent elements, a swappable, user-designable backplate and a mounting system that works with nearly all common 60% PCBs. Rather than locking you into fixed internals, the Nexus is the foundation for building your 60% exactly the way you want it – an FR4 plate is already included.
Case & design
The unibody case is CNC-machined from aluminium and fitted with an aluminium weight; alternatively, a translucent PC variant is available. Two side accents and a front accent create deliberate contrasts and give the board its technical, angular look. The aluminium case alone weighs around 1.1 kg, the PC variant roughly 800 g.
The backplate: your design on the underside
The highlight sits on the back: the backplate consists of a transparent cover with inserts underneath that can be swapped and customised freely. Every case colour ships with a backplate in a matching pattern. Kezewa provides complete dimension drawings, so you can cut and fit your own artwork or prints precisely. Every Nexus becomes a one-off – and can be restyled at any time.
PCBSnap mounting
The PCBSnap mounting delivers a pleasant typing feel and a first-class sound profile: the FKM snaps clip directly onto the PCB and rest on the bottom case – a soft, decoupled mount with direct, responsive feedback, entirely without screwing down the plate or PCB. Six PCBSnaps are included. Alternatively, the case can be used as a classic tray mount – though the required standoffs are not included and must be sourced separately.
Broad PCB compatibility
The Nexus is compatible with nearly all 60% PCBs that place the USB-C port at the top left – including our MK60MX with its matching MK60 plates, GH60-standard PCBs (DZ60 and others), Wooting60 PCBs and Venom60 PCBs. The included FR4 plate is both MX and HE compatible, covering both worlds.
Hall Effect compatibility note
Hall Effect PCBs (e.g. Venom60 HE or Wooting60 HE) work exclusively with magnetic switches – mechanical MX switches cannot be used on them, and vice versa. If you build your Nexus as an HE board, you'll need magnetic switches and an HE PCB accordingly.
Who is the Nexus for?
The Nexus is for anyone who wants to genuinely shape their own 60% – visually and technically. The swappable backplate turns it into a canvas for your own designs, and the broad PCB compatibility allows everything from a classic GH60 build and RGB setups with the MK60MX to a Hall Effect gaming build with a Wooting60 or Venom60 PCB. If you already own a 60% PCB, the case and included FR4 plate give you everything you need to rehouse it – if you don't, you'll find matching PCBs separately in our shop.
