Hi,
We've got quotation.
And price of group buy will around :

Anodized aluminum : $150
Painted white aluminum : $160
Brass : $250

HHKB and universal usb port (Type-C port as default)has extra cost due to quantity.

Wait...do you mean a BRASS HHKB Case is possible? That is so cool if so!!

Could everything Brass be PVD Coated to avoid tarnishing? Clear coats don’t last too long apparently.

If you didn't crack it, PVD coating will stay pretty long.

This is just a bit shocking. You’re awesome. Full PVD coated brass HHKB keyboard case is gonna be amazing. I’m in.

No option for full PVD coated brass bottom, right?

Any confirmation on the colors for anode?

No, that will be too expensive
Should offer black, gray, dark purple and rose gold.
Awaiting confirm color reference.

Really good prices, especially for the powdercoat white - any estimation on the price for HHKB with Type-C?

Seems like the white is painted, not powder coated

Understood, thank you!

The plate will only work with plate mount Stabilizers, correct?

It would’ve been nice if it could use PCB mounted stabilizers, but for the price I can’t conplain at all.

Any reason not to like plate mount? (Have only ever used PCB mount myself)

Cost 10 extra for aluminum ver., 15 extra for brass.

I need to learn how to quote less stuff on mobile...

But anyway, I just hear that plate mount Stabilizers tend to be very loose and rattle due to the extra room/less stability versus PCB mount. Hopefully others may chime in with better explanations.

If it remains plate mount only, I’ll have to source some authentic cherry plate mount Stabilizers.

Wow. That price is insane. Is that including a plate as well?

Very fair. Thank you. Last question, will we be able to still purchase your PCB together with the case when the GB for it releases or do we need to get them separately? If we can buy them together, would there be a possibility to buy assembly?

Looking forward to this, many HHKB/60% in general buys lately but this is definitely one of the most interesting ones.

I was told the HHKB would only support 6u.

I really would’ve liked if it was the 7u version, since there’s no DSA/SA/MT3 6u spacebars. Anyone else agree?

6u all the way 

Not enough kits out there supporting it. It’d be nice to have at least 2 options (this and the Tina)

It is powder coated, but not sure paint and powder coated is different in English?
It is just different paint method in Chinese.
But sometimes will emphasize it.

For default layout, plate mount stabs cutout.
I've tried it, also work with pcb stabs, but will be hard to exchange it after finish the keyboard.

For other layout, only PCB mount.

Does this pricing include a PCB, or is it just the case + plate?

Does the PVD brass case look like brass color or will it work like an anodization and be able to recolor the brass?

Yes, but this time will be only one color.

Hey Sen,

Could we get a 7u symmetrical HHKB Top option?

I think it is hard to offer one more layout.
Manufacturer will ask for minimal quantity

Not include PCB

Ok - this may be a dumb question, but will you sell the PCB as an add on with the kit at the time of case GB, or should we buy the PCB in the current PCB only GB?

I would definitely get this with the split 3u spacebars option in brass! I just ordered a variety of enjoypbt 3u spacebars from Taobao too to check out how they match my current keycap sets.

Is the link on the shop for the brass kit also a test? It says the GB for the case kit ends around Feb 14...

We're editing it

Will the brass plate and brass weight that comes in the final production version have shiny finish like 1st prototype or sandblasted like the second prototype? Hopefully the first since I prefer the shiny finish (it will be coated with a protective layer right? Raw brass tarnishes easily)

Also is the Feb14th deadline true? Awfully short notice for a case GB!

Hey Sennin,

So no 7u for HHKB? Is it possible to at least make a few?

There are more 7u spacebars, less 6u.

(There are no GMK 6u spacebars for old school sets, no 6u DSA spacebars, no MT3 6u Spacebars, no 6u SA Spacebars)

Also just to be 100% sure, the HHKB Case is actually a HHKB body, correct? With blockers?

I would totally buy a 7u PVD coated brass HHKB Case (with 1.5 blockers on the left and right side).

Thank you!

Looks so good and if I hadn't just picked up two cases I'd be joining this for sure! Will have to keep an eye out for this case down the line though as I do really like it!

Obvious solution is to sell the other cases! jk
Unlike kbdfans that stock their products after the GB, doyu studio won't be doing the same.
They may have some extras after the GB is over but may come at a higher price.

Hi,
Sorry, quantity in the check form is not enough to do that.
Prices will become extreme high

any chance of a picture or render of design for the hhkb model?

Rendering

I guess I will wait till the rendering is done before I make my decision. HHKB layout is the only one I'm considering

A numpad matches this case!

Oh boy...
Will there be a brass version?  Is the GB coming right after this one?   ;D

no,
we have to sampling this numpad first.
So it might take a little while.
may be late Mar ~ early Apr
