Giving a shout out for Traffic Red. Only 4 more orders to reach the lower MOQ.

YOU, YES YOU, MUST ORDER PURPLE!!!!

Latin00032 · « **Reply #253 on:** Sat, 27 July 2013, 19:55:26 »

I ordered purple already to bring us to 4.

We just need one more.

There has to be another purple lover.

I am a purple lover, but I'm trying really hard to convince myself not to order a purple case... Because I really shouldn't, but I probably will...... brb checking bank account.

I want purple too.. kind of expensive though

Flamingchook · « **Reply #256 on:** Sat, 27 July 2013, 21:39:39 »

I ordered a purple case so we've reached MOQ of 5.

Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go curl up in a ball and cry for a while due to the pain my bank account is feeling right now.

Soulhunter, were you buying my Christmas present early this year?

Thanks for bumping up the Claret red higher in the MOQ.

If not, you could always melt down the case and get $0.50 for it as scrap

Ok

Well aluminum is $0.73 a pound where I am, so maybe around $1.50?

Anyone have any idea if the Ducky Mini will fit into this? Yes, I realize it isn't out yet, but don't a lot of keyboard mfgs use parts made by other companies that are of the same design? Probably too much of a gamble, but I want one of these for when I get a Ducky Mini later this year. Any chance there will be a second round later this year?

This is not an ideal scenario to put yourself in, but if you wanted to sell it later you could very likely make all of your money back. Still a gamble, but maybe not a terribly huge one.

I know! My wife doesn't have a clue either. It'll be like one of those Lifetime dramas where the husband has secretly wiped out all savings and cashed out retirement funds to feed his gambling addiction. Good thing there are no hired thugs that come after people in the keyboard world...or are there??

Kabuks · « **Reply #269 on:** Tue, 30 July 2013, 22:31:45 »

jameslr · « **Reply #270 on:** Wed, 31 July 2013, 12:17:31 »

After looking at this thread over at DT - there is a pic of the Ducky Mini case and it looks like this case is compatible with it!!

Here is the pic from the DT thread:

And the pic posted for the MKC case earlier in this thread is:

They both have the same cutouts and screwhole positions. Damnit! I'm in for one now.

Edit: Ordered!

I've got the three US orders in the first batch on hand and will ship them out tomorrow. The 2nd batch with 20 pieces should be done very soon.

Man I absolutely can't wait. Although, there's a chance I could be moving soon, so my address will change. Is there any sort of ETA on delivery or shipment? I'd hate for my new case that I've so eagerly awaited to end up in the hands of some tool that moves into my apartment

So it arrived today whilst I was at work. The granite grey can look like black to my eyes and the colour coordinated feet isn't really that. However I'm not complaining. A lovely case and its really tempting to put in an order for another. As you can see it fits my poker II just fine.

Huge huge thanks Feng.

Holy smokes, that looks slick. Great lighting on those pictures btw

Hey feng any updates on these?

I'm in no rush to receive mine since I have to wait for a GH60 to put into it anyway. Just wondering how things are progressing. Also any idea when you'll be doing the $10 refunds for meeting MOQ's?

feng · « **Reply #293 on:** Fri, 16 August 2013, 10:26:51 »

MKC just fiinshed anodizing 40 pieces yesterday and they will be shipped out shortly. Another 30 pieces are in progress.

I'll be doing the $10 MOQ refund as soon as I get back home on August 21st.
