Hello!
Some updates.
I have gotten a ton of emails and requests regarding the FJELL Group Buy, from you here and even other vendors. As of now, I can't handle enough orders to please everyone.
If I can find a vendor that is able to handle FJELL orders, I will be able to go that route. I will make sure it is safe for every participant. Manufacturing will go through my factory anyway. Everything will still be LeandreN style with Mekanisk branding, but it would allow me to have better fulfillment for more cases. This might change later, as Mekanisk grows.
Also, the simple case is ready for mass production very soon.

Any thoughts or concerns? Please let me know.

I see a lot of people putting material in the bottom of metal cases to dampen the sound, but that doesn't actually do much. What really changes the sound and feel is where the PCB meets the mounts.
I've always though about trying to source some different disc-like materials to go atop of the M2 screw posts to dampen the harshness of the metal case. I was thinking a dense foam or medium density rubber, but I would want to experiment to see what sounds the best.
Have you ever tried anything like this? If you could include them as a customization option (like people sometimes do with rubber feet), that would be awesome.
Fjell is still the top case out there in my opinion.
P.S.
I'd really like to see more acrylic or polycarb plates on the market. I see that you are selling off some extras that you had. Any chance that you'll be getting more in the future? As you may be able to tell by now, I'm all about the feel of the board. It makes me think twice when I switch from a nice custom with alum case back to an old quickfire rapid and realize the quickfire rapid actually feels nicer to type on :(
