So cool. But I really want to save that $45. I would be extremely excited if they allowed a discount if other people order the same colors. (Granite Grey, for me)

Interested in 1 blue-grey. If the feet are removed does it lay flat? Also this should work for a GH60 right?
Yes it lays flat if feet are removed. It's compatible with GH60.



BTW new rule regarding anodizing extra colors applied!

Sweet, I had that question too as I really like the flat profile on my current Poker's case. That plus the possible discount, I'm going for it. Sending payment soon.

From the first post:

"There will NOT be any refund! Once you complete your order, I'll send the orders to MKC frequently. So please make up your mind carefully before ordering.

In order to get the discount on anodizing with extra colors, you would need to pay in full first. If by the end we reach the MOQ of 5, I'll refund you $10. And if we reach 10 or more, I'll refund you $20."

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!

I too am interested in Claret Red. You bring up a good point about the silver though...

Does anyone know if this aluminum case fits the KBT Pure Pro? I just picked up the new KBT Pure Pro from Massdrop and I want to grab an aluminum case for it. I searched around and found that there might be an older version of the Pure Pro and I'm not sure if the dimensions have changed. Can anyone give any input? Thank you :)

I'll be getting Claret Red as soon as I find out about multiple shipping. So I'll start it :)

I'm thinking Gold with the Cherry Legends Nathan's Set once it comes out. (thinking ahead) Opinions? I think it would look great backlit with gold LEDs or even white and would mean a bit more to me. Back lighting is still a bit in the air yet on a GH60 but I have faith. :)

You'll have to remove the key caps to get to the screws. The best way to explain it is to show you a picture.


All Caps Removed by Michael Ashby, on Flickr

Simply unscrew the 6 screws and slide the PCB out of the plastic case.

Hope that helps!

1. I wish I could see the inside of the finished case. I'm hoping it's not as rough as what's in the OP.

2. I wish I could buy extra feet. This way I could have gotten the silver feet in addition to the matching color.

3. I wish more people would buy the Claret Red color so my wallet wouldn't hurt so much.  :p
