Last chance to enter now! Tomorrow morning Norwegian time, I will plan on closing the raffle.
How many people to this point?
It has been slow around these last days, so still hovering around 200  :)

Truly surprised  :o , thought there would be at least 400+ signing up for this.

Where are the fanatics wanting something unique, the ones who fantasize about having the most PERFECT 60% case in front of them to praise and worship?

Geekhack has surprised me here, thought this place attracted the hardcore instead of fence sitters waiting to see what happens next.........

Screw them Elrick. Let GH go back to its roots as the elitist club that it is.  I commend Leandren for all the hard work he did. Good for us that there are not 2000 in the raffle. Their time will come when these lucky 50 owners show what an amazing keyboard this is.

Have to remember all the highly expensive stuff that just dropped also. Not everyone has pockets deep enough for everything, and there's also more coming down the pipe very soon, been a spoiled 2017 so far so people really have to choose what they want and can't grab it all!

Yeah maybe it should go back to it's essential roots and appeal only to the fanatics, since they are the ones to encourage new developments and quality keyboards.

The 50 that are picked by the OP will be in a league of their own, they will no longer reside at the bottom of the Geekhack food-chain but hover way above all of us mortals who dream about owning something unique as this.

Suspect this will be the smaller sized case to worship via Google pictures forever more because that will be the only time for the rest of us to ever view it.  Already extremely jealous of the 50 honoured to own one of these delights because you will not be an ordinary Geekhacker anymore - you've been upgraded in every sense of the word  8) .

I don't want to wait for round 2. More than 200 means less than 25% of winning. It's pretty low.

Responses or form submissions? Either way, that is the full package, right? PCB and plate and the case itself. I can understand why the draw would be less for just a case. Though the m65 is very unique and different. Not my cup of tea, personally, but very inspired and original. 65% fever is upon us.

Why restrict the pleasure of winning over the losers who denied themselves the chance of owning this unique case.

That's the problem with plebeians who think they know better when it comes to owning something like this  8) .

This case is what 60% Perfection is all about.  Going for anything else is like going for second best, so why deny yourself this opportunity to own something that will catapult a plain 60 percent keyboard into super stardom, when it's sheaved into this casing?

Go for broke than settling for bits and pieces of some other design, just not worth considering anything else here.

Congrats to all the winners!

However, now that I think about it, I'm not sure if R2 will come at a good time; If February/March, X60 will have wrapped up by then and that means that if xondat sticks to the timeline, the T60 should be out by then, either in a GB or ready availability. Pretty much the same deal - hi profile, brass weight, tray mount, just without the bezels. Apparently $200 too, and should be the same dimensions as X60, meaning relatively thick bezels compared to the FMJ's "thin" affair.

I really like Fjell, but am a bit bummed because of the above.

The T60 will be fantastic. It's simple and clean.

However, this is a completely different product though, the design is very different.

This case also has a lot, included an amount of shipping cost embedded into the price.

T60 is an alternative, not a replacement, so if you like it better, feel free to buy it. It's probably going to be a great quality product.

Hello, thanks for your support!

All the messages has gone out, however, there will probably be a few dropping out, so I have the complete list here. Don't give up yet.

I hope to make these group buys larger in the future, just making sure I can handle this and the quality can be where I want it to be.

Please check your mails that you put in the form, check spam folders and everything.

Turning off the waterworks long enough to congratulate you lucky mugs who drew in.

Curse all the rotten deeds I did in my youth that have borne me with buzzards luck in raffles.

Look forward to seeing the colors chosen and builds made with these beauties. Great work, LeandreN, these are stellar.

I'm excited to get the chance to get into this buy! At first I wasn't planning to do another 60% but I happened into a nice PCB and figured this would be just the right case to match it. It was going to be a FJELL or a Revo MX HHKB case, and thankfully I got into the first choice!
