I saw that in the KBC Poker group buy the mention of an aluminum case for it.  Does anyone have any more details about it?

I leaked the info last week. So far there is nothing known. Besides a few pictures that I have been sent by the KBC makers.

The case will be an addon, available in the distant future. Price probably something in the $150 region. Nothing else is known.

$150? Isn't that more than the actual keyboard itself?

My guess would be its a piece cut from a single block of aluminum, not exactly cheap to have done so I doubt we are being ripped off or anything like that then again price really doesnt matter too much with most of the people here aslong as it is a good product

I'd buy one if and when they become available.

Actually, you can buy the top one for a little over 400 US (But it comes with a keyboard inside).  The author of this review is selling them.

Its solid aluminium, its just anodized.

Like everyone else in that thread the overall price $400 for mx switches and subpar keys doesnt really do it for me, I really just want the brushed aluminum case.
