You'll want to cut it to size. You may have to cut holes where the mounting screws go. And also make a hole where the DIP switches are.

Yep, I did exactly what jdcarpe explains. Works a treat.

Cindori · « **Reply #352 on:** Tue, 04 December 2012, 06:14:46 »

Wow. Just wow. 15 minutes ago I recieved the case, and I just finished assembling it. KBT Race Silver case.

I have to say, the quality is amazing. The finish and color is just perfect. And the weight!! It feels like a block of silver. It makes the keyboard super solid, and it feels ALOT different typing on it. Almost like a new switch. Or a new keyboard.

The packaging was great. Would probably survive a drop from an airplane. And the accessories was neatly packaged in separate plastic bags. I even recieved two different sets of feet! One raised alu with rubber tip and one simply in rubber. They give you diferent kinds of elevation of the back of the keyboard. Superb! Every screw I also recieved more numbers of then needed!

I will be selling my white limited edition plastic case, so anyone interested in creating an unique look for their KBT Race, send a PM. You could recolor the case in any color you'd like. I'm thinking $20 or something, but unfortunately the shipping might be just as much if you are in the US...

^^ can't wait to get my pink case and ditch the white case.
Your review makes me even more anxious to get mine!

jdcarpe · « **Reply #354 on:** Tue, 04 December 2012, 06:38:16 »

I'm kicking myself for not ordering a Race case now. Of course, I didn't own a Race when this was ordered, but still. Someone sell me their aluminum Race case! Please?

Halverson · « **Reply #355 on:** Tue, 04 December 2012, 06:48:06 »

^^ We need a round 3! I could use a couple more cases

imsto · « **Reply #358 on:** Tue, 04 December 2012, 10:41:27 »

every case were checked before sent, still can not make sure everyone is perfect.
some of them might been opened during the shipping, actualy, these casing are realy weak for the shipping.

Jupiter · « **Reply #359 on:** Tue, 04 December 2012, 18:53:27 »

Please let there be a round three!

Leslieann · « **Reply #360 on:** Wed, 05 December 2012, 18:07:28 »

I too am willing to go in on a 3rd group buy for a Race chassis.

I'm also willing to buy any usable Race chassis (any color, any flaw, so long as it is usable). Hey, you could get a nicer one in round 3.

Halverson · « **Reply #366 on:** Mon, 10 December 2012, 17:25:11 »

Just wanted to say I got my case from the mail today.
Just too beautiful. The pink is gorgeous, and immaculate. Packing was amazing. The box took a beating but the yards of bubble wrap kept it very safe.
Will definitely be looking forward to round 3!

hehe thanks.

I notice now that on the back it looks like a white blemish. Either there was a little foam on it, or the flash picked up something I couldn't see by looking at it closely.

Poker cases won't, as they're a much smaller board. The Race case, though, I'm not sure about.

And I need to start saving for round 3. This Poker is in bad need of a hard shell.

Twould be imstos! Identical to my hot pink one, the most sexy race case. Imsto sells his things on taobao, so that's why they are on there.

Unless someone has his exact design and made some of their own. But they look identical, possibly the same photos.

But it's a different seller (gytl79, not IMSTO), and they only have race available. Either way, those photos are from IMSTO.

On a side note, it's a little late, but did anyone have issues with the little rectangle rubber feet? The stickers on both came off completely wrong and I couldn't use them. Was wondering if anyone had spares, or knew where I could pick some up.

Glissant · « **Reply #391 on:** Wed, 16 January 2013, 01:41:43 »

Yeah, Halverson. The same thing happened to me, but I caught it before they got too messed up and managed to save them enough to use them.
Having access to spares would be great just in case they need to be replaced.

I had the exact same problem. Went down to a nearby hardware shop that sells alot of 3M products but couldn't find a suitable one. Might have to cut a different type to fit the shape unless I can find the same one.

simkev · « **Reply #393 on:** Thu, 31 January 2013, 12:29:47 »

The feets that were used on this case did Imsto mill them himself or is the feets meant for other uses then keyboard feets?
If they are meant for other usages and are made by a company, where can I buy some?

I really hope this happens sooner than later. I'm almost tempted to get another Pure CNC just for the case, then sell the leftover Pure parts.
