Out of everything that Vortex/Pure/KBC/whatever has teased us with/offered for sale, I must say I am most excited about this.

Looks nice, although I'm not bothered about seeing pictures of yet more things we can't actually buy.

yes/no.   You would need to get rid of the USB connector PCB and wire a USB cable to the connector that attaches to the main KB.  You would also need to do something about the cable gland/strain relief.  Also without seeing under the keyboard PCB I don't know if there are supports similar to the plastic case or if Vortex is just relying on the upper/lower edges of the plate.  If there are supports you'd have to get rid of the one around F7/F8/8/9.  Might also have issues around the one near capslock.

Hmm. well I suppose as Long as the aluminum is thick enough to withstand a dremel disk without warping. We're still good to go.

I believe they previously said the price would be around $150 for the aluminum case?

The case is beautiful but ouch that's pricey.

Wonder which will come out first, this or Treble's. I think his will be promising as well at a much lower price point.

I bet you $20 Treble's is out first. You willing to gamble?
