Custom Metal Feet
« on: Sun, 03 March 2024, 18:11:11 »
I noticed that there seem to be one option for keyboard feet out there, that one being those cheap anodized aluminum cone-shaped ones. So I made some custom turned metal foot prototypes.

This is cool but most of current keyboard cases doesn't need feet. Only the "cheap" flat alu cases from Aliexpress.

Depends...
Lots of cases lack feet, not just aluminum ones.


Besides, maybe OP wants a custom angle or a different look. Options are good.

For sure, the primary point of these feet is to accompany these flat wood cases that I make.

I also have a higher end case in the works with a slant built in so you don't need the feet.

For the most part, the page for cone feet has turned over, but it certainly wouldn't be a bad idea if a case can be designed around for use of these. That said, perhaps some older keyboard owners (e.g. KMAC 1/1.2/LE) could appreciate something like this.
