[GB]KBDfans 5° 60% aluminum case ---All orders are shipped

Anyone tried zeal60 yet?

I have Zeal60 (R1) in my purple case now and the board fits pretty well, but the USB port position doesn't line up with center of the hole which causes a bit trouble when plugging in cable.

[AuDiTH]

Also, what about the FaceW?  They've been delayed for like 1/2 a year now at mechanicalkeyboards.com, but if they ever do come into stock, that could be a good option.

There are some available in Sprit's eBay shop: https://www.ebay.com/itm/FaceW-60-PCB-SPRiT-Designs-LED-Underglow-Macro-Cherry-Keyboard-Vintage-GH60/222709667335?hash=item33da87d607:g:ZZ8AAOSw-0xYYVaI

repost for new page, hope that's okay.

• Pok3r pcb doesn't fit if it has USB-C. (according to KBDfans)
• Anne Pro will only align on two screw holes. (according to commenter Ti)
• GH60 fits, but has a problem with one of the posts, apparently? (Frustrating, since it was one explicitly stated as being compatible. Is it something that can be solved by shaving off one post or what?)
• DZ60 with MiniUSB should work (but then again, we've seen that just because KBD advertises compatibility doesn't mean it's going to be perfect).
• Banana Split fits with four internal posts matching up, but three other posts will touch the PCB in other places and the outermost edge holes don't line up enough.(Thank you dodgeyhack)
• Alps64 fits. (Thank you Applet and tron)
• NERD Gon60 fits. (Thank you TalkingTree)
• Zeal60 fits (Thank you AuDiTH)

Hi,

has anybody got a picture of how the dark purple case looks like in real life?

Only one I have seen is the A/B picture from the group buy.

[Atredl]

Once my case comes in I can test if a Winkeyless b.Face fits.

I've always been unsure, are the FaceW and the b.Face essentially the same pcb or are there differences?

My brother got an allen wrench and some screws with his purple case. I didn't get those in my black case. What are those screws for?

Those screws are for fitting the included blockers

Do I ask them for those to ship them to me or do I have to find those screws somewhere else?

You should try asking them, they're usually pretty good at fixing things like this. Just make sure to explain the situation in simple terms, since they're not native English speakers.

Is it just me or does that purple look a lot less saturated than either the A or B option?

The lighting in these pics was pretty bad so I had to turn up brightness a bit, sorry about that. But seeing it person I would say B option is pretty accurate.

[KaosJ]

Anyone tried the iGK61 pcb from the last GB (hotswappable and Type-C) 

[pixelpusher]

I haven’t tried mine yet bc I still don’t have my case but I’ll try as soon as I get it

It looks like only a few of the holes are going to line up, though. And those hot swap sockets are more than likely to cause clearance issues.

So going with dark purple would be a good match with Laser GMK? OR better with black?

The colors aren't exact matches but dark purple would look nicer than black imo

Is it Fjell dark purple? Saw the dark was up to order on their site now.

I'll have purple klippe and dark purple 5deg in a few days. I'll take side by sides .

[lunr]

Don't think the purple Fjell is the same as the Klippe. I have the purple Klippe and it's more darkish magenta.

Here's my fair share of pictures! It looks great I thought.

That's a good purple   

Doesn't really look like the dark purple B of the vote-pool but seems fine to me.

The purple looks so good. At least it's purple and not magenta

Interested in this comparison. 

Also if anyone has a FJELL dark purple and want to compare them as well

Got my cyan one in today. Fits my Alps64 perfectly.

[smithyithy]

Awesome! Mine's sat in Customs   

[HotRoderX]

mine is also sitting in customs once again =/ Jcex shipping is kinda crap. Only reason I am not directly complaining is because free shipping was free. I have had packages thought EMS clear customs faster then JCEX.. I don't understand what the deal is. Typically Jcex = 3-5 day's in customs. Where EMS is 1-2 and Fedex/DHL is 0..

[macken]

Seems like all the colors are available for preorder over at kbdfans site now.

Had plans to use the Laser set for a bigger board, but this case seems almost too good for the price. And lots of options for layouts when combining it with an DZ60 board.

[SantiGo]

Lol realy? I buying r2 banansplit. And isee type c usb not good with this case??

• Pok3r pcb doesn't fit if it has USB-C. (according to KBDfans)
• Anne Pro will only align on two screw holes. (according to commenter Ti)
• GH60 fits, but has a problem with one of the posts, apparently? (Frustrating, since it was one explicitly stated as being compatible. Is it something that can be solved by shaving off one post or what?)
• DZ60 with MiniUSB should work (but then again, we've seen that just because KBD advertises compatibility doesn't mean it's going to be perfect).
• Banana Split fits with four internal posts matching up, but three other posts will touch the PCB in other places and the outermost edge holes don't line up enough.(Thank you dodgeyhack)
• Alps64 fits. (Thank you Applet and tron)
• NERD Gon60 fits. (Thank you TalkingTree)
• Zeal60 fits (Thank you AuDiTH)
• KBT Pure PCB fits perfectly on all six holes.

(updating because I just put my Pure PCB in out of impatience. Love it.)

The DZ60 lines up at all the standard mounting points. I haven't secured it yet because I still need to solder everything, but I don't foresee any issues.

[HotRoderX]

I will try to report back if a KBParadise will fit it. I have one laying around that doesn't have a case. I have personally found that the KBParadise doesn't always fit things that a pok3r will.

All pcb with type C usb not good??? Or only po3ker ??

[Atredl]

All pcb with type C usb not good Or only po3ker ??

The type-c port is a bit bigger than mini usb. Up until now most 60% cases were made with mini usb in mind, so they don’t have a hole that’s big enough for type-c. Not sure if that’s the case here but it’s likely.

This case fits GK64 PCB which uses type-c so there shouldn't be any problems. Album from reddit https://imgur.com/a/7wvJZ

Type C Poker is the "New Poker 2" which doesn't fit any custom cases anyway as its mounting points are different from previous Pokers.

[TalkingTree]

Finally assembled mine.

[kekstee]

JCEX shipping was fine for me. Tracking worked and it somehow used a fast local carrier. Destination airport to my doorstep over night.

Set aside a NerD60 for this and was happy to see it just fits without complications.

You stole my idea, I'm putting plum on my grey 5° case!  ;D Looking good though  :p

Just got my dark purple and dark blue cases and had a bit of a panic.

First case is an extremely shiny metallic lavender.
Next case is a very dark rich purple.
Did I get shipped the wrong cases? But there was no light purple option right?
Took them out of my workstation area and into bright sunlight and boom the lavender darkened into an awesome purple and the dark purple one morphed into dark blue.

Moral of the story: I gotta get rid of my yellow lamps, the dark blue case literally changed from left to right in direct sunlight.

Same thing happened to me with my dark grey, at first I thought they'd sent me a silver one by accident  )

KBParadise v60 doesn't work ((uses similar screw outs to Poker2)) The board uses 3 of the screw placement top is not secure at all. The top ((assuming due to post)) shorts allowing multiple number keys to be pressed with a sing press when using the numbers at the top.

GK64 Doesn't fit at all plate is to wide. The screw outs are not the same. I am pretty dis pointed in this as I asked before joining if it would fit the answer was yes. I had my doubts and worries seems they where founded.
