It's pretty comfy. I ended up chopping it down to fit TKL.

Yes, but then I screwed it in place with a rack screw. ;)

Yeah that PCB looks off.

Post by: lolkeyboards on Thu, 01 November 2012, 17:36:48: Something similar to the low profile K60 top plate design would look amazing. Surprised no one has mocked something up like this and made a group buy.

That is what it is without the bezel, just black. I could pull off the bottom as well, but then I would have to get the USB jack fitted somewhere.

I just want to hide that green PCB with something flat black.

Could you spray paint it? I know it pulls right off. I'm not sure if spray paint would be bad for the PCB, but my guess is that any non-corrosive paint is fine.

Yep, which is a great move by them!

That should do it. I just need to use a non-conducting type, like a rubberized paint.

And I bought mine months back, so that does not apply to me does it? ;)

Buying another when this one works fine is not an option, besides it looks better without the bezel, branding or not. Kinda like an iMac, looks better without the stupid cover and lame Apple logo on the front:

Looks badass. Might try to make one and just take the bezel off of my QFR. If it looks good, maybe even on my Filco.

They look sweet with no casing.

Also, this QFR sounds better without that bezel.
