Welcome to Geekhack!

That's a nice looking case.  One member here has a black case very similar to that one, can't remember who at the moment.

Hopefully they will be able to enlighten you.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Thank you for your information. Yes, the official website of Filco show the black one for 104-key, however the black one is designed for Realforce, and lack of the logo of Filco. Do you mean it? You could see it in my attachment.

The black one now could be found in Taobao, while the silver couldn't.

As far as I know, it is from Japan, the style No. is FKB 140AL/EB. Have you seen some similar ones like it and could you help me find the website link because I could not find it from ebay of US?
