## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA5082:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA5082:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)

## Description

Back in my day, if you wanted a mechanical keyboard, you had to purchase a massive IBM Model M Keyboard but now you can DIY your very own compact keyboards with your very favorite layouts to make the keeb of your dreams.

For all the DIY keebfans in the house here is a Lavender Plastic Keyboard 60% (GH60) Shell, the perfect base to begin your custom keyboard project in a gorgeous color that's kind between pink, purple and light blue. It's also a lot less expensive than a milled & anodized aluminum shell. However, it won't be as heavy, durable, and flat. That said, it's a great starter shell. You provide the PCB in the common 'GH60' sizing and bolt it into this base.

Comes with four anti-slip stickers and mechanical screw hardware.

Note: This is just the keyboard shell. Don't forget to grab some [keycaps ](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=mechanical+key)and [switches](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=mechanical+key+switches). We also carry a [purple anodized aluminum version](https://core-electronics.com.au/purple-anodized-aluminum-60-gh60-keyboard-shell.html), and a [clear plastic version](https://core-electronics.com.au/fr-4-milling-system.html).
