Definitely interested in the TKL case if the price is reasonable =) Will be checking in once the prices have been settled by Vortex.

Also interested. I'm hoping the price is a little better than what mechanicalkeyboards.com has.

i feel concerns about vortex build quality need to be addressed, but otherwise very much interested.

I'm interested in a full size.

It seems like fullsize keyboards don't get a lot of lovin'.

Interested in full-size cases.  Also steel plates for full-size cases, if that's possible.

Also interested in pricing. I have a silver round 1 vortex, and there were a few issues which required modding (i.e. back case wouldn't shut so I drilled small holes where the filco fit in)

I really want a cheap non anodized case that I'll be powder coating myself (thicker layer, special bake). I don't yet own a media blaster plus it would be better to have them save the money from anodizing and pass that savings to us.

they aren't all that bad like wfd video, I've purchased two, one for my friend in black and one in red for myself and neither had problems though the feet raise the keyboard up way too much so I don't use the feet.

A decent Full-Size Aluminum Case for the Filco, that's got me interested.

Please supply prices and availability as soon as possible.  Always interested in a case to transform a Basic Filco  :thumb: .

Dunno if combined shipping will help but I'm interested as well!
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

I wonder if these would fit a phantom better than the previous ones or if you would need those things which helps stabilize it.

I believe you will need the stabilizer to make this phantom compatible. I know there is an on-going GB on this.

Almost. Someone mentioned that its not a 100% fit in....you have to file a bit from the Ducky plate on the short side. (long side fits)

Really makes no sense. You figure you have people wanting to give you money, you do what you can to enable that to happen.

I know at work, I'm having to get a hold of a company that I contacted for a price on a license. We just spent $55k with them, and wanted to spend more money, but we're now playing the waiting game.

Ok, would be really cool, too bad no one makes then for Ducky. Kinda odd, arent Ducky as popular as Filco?

It is pretty bad. I know at times I have been sluggish getting certain orders out, but they always get there, no matter what. I always respond to emails etc and I'm only on person, ordering parts, making it, packing, posting etc etc. Bigger companies should be bang on with this type of stuff, as you say, I want to give them money!  :o :blank:
