(https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/402514/i/102773449.jpeg)
Hello everyone,
We are excited to announce the Group Buy for the N2 and N3 aluminum cases designed by Sho. These cases are upgrades for Topre enthusiasts looking to house their HHKB internals in a high-quality, CNC-machined aluminum chassis.
The N2 is dedicated to the HHKB Pro 2 series, while the N3 caters to the modern Classic and Hybrid series. Both feature a unique swirl pattern on the internal bottom housing, showcasing the raw beauty of the machining process.
This are the latest additions in Sho's expansive lineup of Topre case designs (https://www.rebultkeyboards.com/collections/sho/) over the years
