Case for the XD68 PCB
« on: Thu, 26 May 2022, 05:33:23 »
Hey guys,

I'm very close to buying parts for a new keyboard and I don't know which case or plate to use with the XD68 PCB. I'm usually not against low profile cases, I actually like them, but the ones from KPRepublic for their XD68 look really weird to me and I'm looking for an alternative.

I guess my question is can I properly fit the XD68 PCB into one of these 3 cases, or are there any other viable options ?:

- KBD67 V3 MIRROR POLISHED GASKET MOUNT ALUMINUM CASE
- KBD67 V3 GASKET MOUNT ALUMINUM CASE
- KBD67 LITE R4 ABS PLASTIC CASE

(I don't know if I'm allowed to post links so I just paste the exact name from KBDFans)

I hope I can find a solution so I can order everything, I will solder Kailh Box v2 White and white LEDs and add a black shine through PBT doubleshot set.

The XD68 allows that layout with the 0.5 gap, that was my plan
