idb 60xt prototype

The case was designed and engineered by Reddit user omgitspngu and then two examples were manufactured in China. Pngu kept one and sent the other one to me for test-fitting. The case is made out of aluminum, beadblasted and then anodized. This keeb has a distinct nod to the IBM XT keyboard, but back in the days the section on the left was used for F1-F10.
