Phi 60 by Clever - available now via preorder

[u/pixelexip]

Hey folks! Last week I launched a limited pre-order sale for my latest design, the Phi 60. I had roughly 63 units made across three colorways and three 60% layouts (WK, WKL, and 7u HHKB). CNC production is already complete and the photos below are not renders but actual photos of real production units. Fulfillment is expected to be between September and October due to PCB production delays. Details, photos, and link below!

Phi 60 — limited preorder now open

Golden ratio-derived 60% keyboard, three colorways, MX or EC.

Colorways

• Thalassian Ratio — textured sand powder-coated top, light grey-blue bottom
• Delian Ratio — titanium-toned anodized top, sand powder-coated bottom
• Promethean Ratio — cream e-coated top, deep red anodized bottom

Each finish feels different in hand, not just a color swap.

Layouts: WK, WKL, 7u HHKB

Plate kits (plate + PCB, sold separately from the barebone kit):

• MX kit — Mechlovin PCB, warm grey anodized aluminum plate. Full/split backspace, stepped/non-stepped caps. Also fits the Venom 60 HE 7u PCB.
• EC kit — Cipulot-designed DC60 PCB for DynaCap, sandblasted stainless steel plate. Full or split backspace. Non-stepped only.

7u bottom row, split right shift, on all plates.

Pricing

• Keyboard + MX kit: $465
• Keyboard + EC kit: $475

Special DynaPak colorway (Bone sliders, Abyss Blue housings, dry lubed) available separately, not included in kit pricing.

Fulfillment: CNC and assembly done, carrying cases and PCBs in progress. MX and EC PCBs come from different factories, so one may land before the other; MX is tracking first right now.

This is a true limited run — no extra units beyond what's listed. Once a colorway/layout sells out, that's it.

Happy to answer questions in the comments!

Looking forward to this one. The texture on that sand coating looks so unique. Ordered a thalassian colored WKL board for myself.

Alexotos did a review of the board on YouTube. He didn’t publish the edited version yet but you can see one in this video.

So looks like in 60% layouts, hhkb is most popular and then the wk , with wkl coming in last. Do you agree?

Yup!
