Got my case today and it looks great.
It's missing the blockers though, not that it's a big deal to me since I'm not using them.

I hope you're the exception and not the rule. I'm planning to use the 1.5u blockers...

Did anyone else get three keycaps free with their 5° case?

I did get all the blockers with mine. Seems odd to include three blanks though :))

The blockers are tucked into slits in the foam - you didn't just overlook them did you?

It's where we got the ****ed up mounting points for tray cases. At least here's another one in the lower left which should fix the usual issues. Plates didn't arrive in Pokers until much later, namely the Poker 2. Plus they were low profile.
Poker X and Poker 2 were both high profile. It wasn't until the Pok3r that they started selling some stock low profile. That doesn't change the fact that aftermarket cases were originally designed to house the Poker X and the Poker 2, hence their widespread standoff layout, then they shifted towards properly fitting aftermarket plates instead.

Not sure why my initial comment is rustling so many jimmies though. It was meant to be a lighthearted "showerthought" type post. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I didn't mean to spread the panic around like a wildfire. I haven't indeed received mine but it's also worth considering that I bought some cone feet along with my case, so my box was opened and, perhaps, the blockers fell out or were accidentally removed.

For those wondering about the Banana Split...
TL;DR; It fits nicely and looks great!
(Attachment Link)

The little bits of post it note (3) show where the extra standoffs make contact with the pcb.
In all cases, there's just enough space around the SMDs, so no filing required.
(Attachment Link)

The side standoffs don't align with the screw holes. But the inner four line up perfectly so not a big issue.

Great post. Thanks a lot.

Mine arrived today: super stuff!! (the blockers - 4 - were in and 3 1U black blank caps too. The invoice was for 14$, so no customs fees and whatsoever, what you've paid is final)

It seems to be on sale on KBDfans shop ( https://kbdfans.myshopify.com/collections/case/products/pre-orderkbdfans-5-60-case )
With the preorder we paid 8$ less, but at 88 bucks it's still a steal, believe me.

Only colors that have shipped are in the KBDFans shop. Once I get my red case, I may pick up another (if I love it, which I think I will).

I'm still waiting on other parts (namely the Bleach60 GB) before I actually build in this case. Maybe someone else has photos of them installed?

Same here (I'm waiting for a banana split R2). Anyway to install them you have to screw them on a plate or PCB from below (most arguably on the PCB) using 4 black screws and hex- wrench which came with the case; so you have to make 4 holes in the PCB before you can screw them in. I think that to see a picture with them mounted you have to wait for someone who is building a keyboard with the proper layout.....

It was put on hold for at least a month about a month ago, so I'm hopeful it'll start up again soon  ;D

For Cherry PCBs they just screw in through the central hole in the switch footprint. Alps PCBs and the Bleach60 don't have a centre hole so you will need to drill one.

Indeed it's the same board emdude built.  He did a fantastic job with it and the Brown Alps he used are super clean and have no wear.  It only took me a couple weeks to get used to the 1u backspace.  It's not that bad coming from a Model F XT.

I just meant the change to the 1u backspace wasn't that bad for me because I was typing on a Model F XT w/stepped 1u backspace key.

It's funny I contacted them and asked if a cancellation was possible since the GH60 won't fit properly due to the extra mounting point which was not in the original schematics/prototypes and instead of cancelling or even replying very quickly they shipped out my order then waited a day and said they couldn't cancel the order, how convenient.

Maybe it was just a coincidence or maybe it wasn't...seems kinda sketchy though.

Pretty sure it was just a coincidence since they are multiple people and since something similar happened to me (not in a bad way tho).   
After 500+ case sold plus stock items (maybe around 600-700 cases produced) i don't think they care to cancel and refund 1 order.  They are also selling it as stock now and be sure that if they don't sell it to you, they will sell it as stock.  So not sketchy. 

On a side note, kbdfans usually ships and LATER will mark your package shipped (not immediately), so most likely your package shipped and was marked shipped only in a second moment. For example when i bought the KBD75 i got the tracking the day before getting the keyboard, while the package shipped from them many days before that considering that the path China>EU proxy>Me.   

Also, which is that extra mounting point not allowing the first revisions of the gh60 to fit?

One has appeared in the wild yeah, at a recent meetup with a Hyperfuse set, looks stunning.

Mine seems to be taking a while to move, almost a week between drop off at Changzhou to Shanghai shipping centre. Hopefully if it lands in London this week it'll only be a couple days to get to my door..

We really need a central PCB compatibility listing edited into the main post and/or the shop site. From what I've gathered by hearsay:
  • So, poker doesn't fit if it has USB-C. (according to KBDfans)
  • Anne Pro will only align on two screw holes. (according to commenter Ti)
  • GH60 fits, but has a problem with one of the posts, apparently? (Frustrating, since it was one explicitly stated as being compatible. Is it something that can be solved by shaving off one post or what?)
  • DZ60 with MiniUSB should work (but then again, we've seen that just because KBD advertises compatibility doesn't mean it's going to be perfect).
  • Banana Split fits with four internal posts matching up, but three other posts will touch the PCB in other places and the outermost edge holes don't line up enough.(Thank you dodgeyhack)
  • Alps64 fits. (Thank you Applet and tron
  • NERD Gon60 fits. (Thank you TalkingTree)

I think I'm going to get a Gon60 because I've always had my eye on that board, but never a good excuse to get one. If anyone knows other compatibile (or incompatible) boards, please share so others can know what to look for.  :thumb:

We really need a central PCB compatibility listing edited into the main post and/or the shop site. From what I've gathered by hearsay:
  • So, poker doesn't fit if it has USB-C. (according to KBDfans)
  • Anne Pro will only align on two screw holes. (according to commenter Ti)
  • GH60 fits, but has a problem with one of the posts, apparently? (Frustrating, since it was one explicitly stated as being compatible. Is it something that can be solved by shaving off one post or what?)
  • DZ60 with MiniUSB should work (but then again, we've seen that just because KBD advertises compatibility doesn't mean it's going to be perfect).
  • Banana Split fits with four internal posts matching up, but three other posts will touch the PCB in other places and the outermost edge holes don't line up enough.(Thank you dodgeyhack)
  • Alps64 fits. (Thank you Applet and tron
  • NERD Gon60 fits. (Thank you TalkingTree)

I think I'm going to get a Gon60 because I've always had my eye on that board, but never a good excuse to get one. If anyone knows other compatibile (or incompatible) boards, please share so others can know what to look for.  :thumb:

I have 2 coming and I was planning to use a cheap Satan60 and a GH60 revC from techkeys.  I'm guessing both are going to have fitting problems.  Anyone tried either?  I have no issues with dremeling that damn post right off.  That has to be a mistake.  Or is it necessary to install the blockers?
I really like my Gon PCB, but I have it in the case I want it in currently

Maybe it's time to build an Alps 64 board?

Also, what about the FaceW?  They've been delayed for like 1/2 a year now at mechanicalkeyboards.com, but if they ever do come into stock, that could be a good option.
