But he answers some questions in this thread... only GH60 and Poker II question keeps being ignored...

[opalcard]

I'm very interested in this, do we have a confirmation that this casing will be compatible with the Poker 2?

Probably being ignored because he has no way to know. I know for a fact he doesn't have a GH60, because they aren't even production yet. The PCB hasn't even been finalized yet, and no one with a prototype GH60 has one of these cases.

However, there is no reason to think the GH60 (or the Poker II) would not fit, as it was designed with the purpose of being compatible with existing Poker cases.

Three colors added: Gold, Purple, and Claret Red.

Just got the confirmation from MKC, this case will fit Poker and Poker II. He was told that it will fit Pure and Pure Pro as well, but he didn't test it himself.

I'm not sure if it's compatible with GH60, but as far as I know, GH60 was built to match those existing Poker cases.

Feng, I bought an aluminum spacebar from your ebay page a ways back.

Any idea if that will match the silver color of this case? Any shots of the plain silver color with the new case, or without the pcb in it? Just saw the updated OP.

Thanks!

RAL 1021 = Rape Yellow

I want this color so when people ask, I can say "It's Rape Yellow."

Rape, AKA Rapeseed, is called Canola in the US.  Grown to make vegetable oil.

And yes, it's yellow.

In the photograph of the silver case, it shows a center mount, which would be used for the Pure and the Poker II. Nice!

I've not found this in the other aluminum case that's for sale.

[MKULTRA]

I was gonna get the granite gray but that gold is tempting.

Thanks for uploading the pic for reference.

I thought it probably meant something else.

[alrgeez]

man...i dont own a poker yet but im thinking of ordering this case for when i do get one.

[acediac01]

This case looks great, and that Claret Red is stunning. I'll have to see if I can make room in the budget...

As I predicted, this forum is eating my wallet!

[Latin00032]

What shade if purple is that on the RAL chart?

[bugsaint]

I'm selling a very lightly used KBC poker with mx reds over at DT if anyone is interested in getting one of these cases and needs a poker board.

[Photoelectric]

Are these keycaps available somewhere?  I would love one or two:



(red and purple skull & bones)

Their colors would be pretty much the same. Both sandblasted silver.

Unfortunately I don't konw. I think it's close to RAL 4006 - Traffic purple.

I still have some of them. I'll probably list them on eBay this weekend when I got time to sort them out.

[tjcaustin]

Paid

[Latin00032]

Why aren't there any shades of white to pick from.

Like an off white or something closer to a beige.

Those colors are probably "too feminine"

You say it like it's a bad thing =\

I was kidding lol. Go read my previous posts along with Feng's reply

[MKULTRA]

So feng, it is possible we will get this early July if we put in our order soon enough?  If so, what would be the deadline for that?

MKC will have at least 6 pieces made by the end of this month. He might have a bit more depending on the scrappage rate. I'll let him sending out these cases to those who first made the payments.

The second batch of production will start at the end of this month as well. I guess it takes about 2-3 weeks to finish the production. I'll let you know when I get the confirmation from MKC.

[naokira]

Ordered! Can't wait. I can pay immediately too so I can be a part of those first 6 cases.

Lets hope the 87as doesn't cost a fortune.  Does look pretty amazing

Yeah I saw that, tho I'm sure I'll be 9th

[nickr]

How much does a case weigh?

[opalcard]

I've made the payment. Hope it gets here soon, can't wait!

[MKULTRA]

Paid!  Granite grey!

[osxoep]

Ordered a blue grey case!
feng, give me a message if there's anything wrong with my order

[Latin00032]

I was hoping for a navy blue color. On the chart, granite grey looks like a darker navy blue.

Does anyone else see this, or is my monitors calibration off.

[HoffmanMyster]

Paid and filled the order form!  Let me know if I did anything wrong.

These cases look really sharp.

[opalcard]

Do we have a rough idea on when will the first batch of production be done?

[dave23]

dam these are nice, thinking a claret red with silver feet, but really shouldn't be spending this much on a case 

[Latin00032]

I was thinking if the claret red, too. Is that a darker red or more of a purple red?

[thoere]

Is this anodized?

[feng]

Lets hope the 87as doesn't cost a fortune.  Does look pretty amazing

It would cost about $240 plus shipping. Comes with Red, Black, and Blue MX switches and several LED colors.

How much does a case weigh?

About 1.5 kg.

I was thinking if the claret red, too. Is that a darker red or more of a purple red?

I would say it's more like darker red instead of purple red.

Is this anodized?

Yes of course. As far as I know, anodizing is the only way to get aluminum colored. I could be wrong though.

[mashby]

So close to pulling the trigger on this, but I wish the Claret Red was the default red and didn't cost an extra $45.

Are there any pictures of the inside of the finished case? The aluminum shots look to be the rough-out, so I'm curious what the finished product looks like without the keyboard.

[dave23]

So close to pulling the trigger on this, but I wish the Claret Red was the default red and didn't cost an extra $45.

Me too, though I'm considering the silver now though as it is more neutral and will maybe suit a wider variety of keycap colour combinations. I don't want to pass on this GB then find that I regret it in the months to come!

And how much for the GeekKey87-A?

[danielucf]

Is it not possible to get discounts on anodizing if several people get the same color? The Skeldon case is doing something like that where the more people on a color, the cheaper the anodizing. I think that is because they can rack several items at a time. Maybe MKC can't anodize several items at a time? Then again how does it work for the colored spacebars?

[TheSoulhunter]

Would I have to pay the extra 45$ once or twice when ordering two boards with the same color?
EDIT: Also what danielucf said... Anyone interested in the green case? 

[LechnerDE]

Would I have to pay the extra 45$ once or twice when ordering two boards with the same color?
EDIT: Also what danielucf said... Anyone interested in the green case? 

Well, I make an educated guess:

Of course you have to pay the the extra 45$ for every case you order. Otherwise Feng would have split that fee and worked it into the price.

[feng]

MKC didn't mention anything like that before. But I'll talk to him to see if we can get any discounts for several people ordering the same color.

[feng]

And how much for the GeekKey87-A?

87-A is not longer available. MKC doesn't produce them anymore.

[chel-]

Interested in 1 blue-grey. If the feet are removed does it lay flat? Also this should work for a GH60 right?
