Hello. I'd like to build a custom 60% board and I'm looking for 60% cases. I'd like something WITHOUT floating key design as I already have two Pok3rs and something different would be appreciated. At the sime time I'd like the case not to be taller than default Pok3r case, maybe it should even be low profile. I find 60% cases choice very limited, is there anything interesting? It seems like there is more options for 65% and larger boards and most of 60% look similar. Any suggestions are welcome, thanks.
PS I don't really care about RGB and underglow so it doesn't have to be supported.

Case on the right doesn't look too bad and something like that in black/gray would be nice. Anyone knows what is it?

Or something like this, but 60%:

Is there any chance to get something similar today?

Not sure what you're looking for, but KBDfans has some pretty great budget options. If you're going for budget alu, go with the Tofu. If you are fine with plastic, go with their plastic case (or get it on aliexpress).
If you want to spend a bit more for something higher quality, get (my personal favorite) a Klippe. I think the groupbuy is starting soon.

Play keyboard currently has one similar to the picture you provided:

There are many more 60% cases out there than 65% and larger. It is the only size with standard mounting points.
