just wondering if you guys could give me some recommendations on where i can pick up these.
after seeing the awesome cases you guys have for your keycaps I've realised im going to need one myself soon with my growing collection of caps.
specifically like this one reaper has:
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y146/eddie84/OCN/Mech%20keyboard%20club/key%20caps/DSC08087.jpg)
also after a decent keyboard case for taking my keyboard/s to work and back etc. prefer something in a soft sleeve style.
also im in Australia, i don't mind buying internationally as long as it can be shipped to me.
any recommendations?
-
I bought one on dealextreme for 10$ including international shipping.

Welcome to Geekhack and it'd be a lot easier if you were in US but for the soft case, this is probably one of the best ones (http://www.elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=access,cases&pid=leo_tkb001) out there (from EK).
As for keycaps container, I got that from The Container Store (http://www.containerstore.com/welcome.htm) here in US. You might wanna check to see if they'll ship international or if you have something similar over there in Australia.
Good luck. :)

haha cool didn't even think of that for the keycaps, i thought it was a special geek thing designed for keycaps! might hit the missus up then she would be more helpful on where i can purchase something in an actual store like that lol.
thanks for the link to the case, thats perfect! now to find a full size keyboard version!
-
Ah crap.. sorry. You didn't mention full-size in the OP.
How about this one (http://www.overclock.net/t/1056313/razer-full-size-keyboard-bag/0_20) then? I know the color is a bit off but it's actually quite a nice carrying case.
-
I just use fishing tackle boxes to store my caps
-
i bought one of these and i'm really happy with it: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HJ9514/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
holds all my novelties + keypullers and a few other things up top. the lower compartment has room enough for 2-3 full keycap sets, a separate spacebar storage section (in front of the handle), plus lots of extra sliders, springs and other switchy bits. the case also fits into plano's parts-box-storage container which turns the containers into a set of drawers.

its all good im getting a TKL as well lol so i'll probally just get both lol. but would be better having a fullsize that i can still put a TKL in as well.
-
no point in a protective case if the board is just going to slide around inside. might want to get a block of foam if you go the full-size route.

yeah will most likely be best off getting a seperate case for my TKL and fullsize keyboards to be safe.
i really do like the looks of that razer one, even if it is razer branded :P
thanks alot for all the great and quick help guys! can't wait to show off my new collection :)
-
Shaker (mechanicalkeyboards, link below) will likely be making a case for fullsize soon. I consider "fullsize" to be 122-keys, but I can probably fit some decent keyboard in there for portable use. :p

I just ordered one of these for my Pure. Saw a thread on here about it fitting an HHKB P2 which is slightly bigger. Totaled to 11.17. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001OLU5HC/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

thanks for the link. i picked one up too!
-
There is some store called Daiso Japan that is a $1.50 store that has a few selections like in the OPs picture. They might be only located in Japan and California right now tho
-
thanks for the link. i picked one up too!
No probs :D so cheap I couldn't pass it up. What color did you get?
-

-

it works great but im quickly running out of space!
and i ended up getting the Noppoo Gaming Case (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Noppoo-Gaming-Mouse-Keyboard-Headphones-Carry-Bag-Case-/230666142360) as recommended by TheProfosist.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v33/bowan_fletcher/keyboard%20stuff/51a90697.jpg)
its a great bag and can hold so much stuff. could probally fit 2 or maybe even 3 keyboards in it lol
-
wow that bag is tacky.
i just got a mission workshop backpack that fits a full keyboard box in it. i dont carry keyboards a lot but i guess it's relevant.
