Well I've got plans to butcher a case top so this would be ideal.

Hmmm I'd also be very interested to know if this will fit on a Filco TKL. If so, definitely in for one!

I picked up 2 of these last night to replace my branded ones. If you want to just butcher one, I could probably hook one with one of my old ones for cheaper then paying from CM plus their shipping. PM me if interested.

Yes they do fit.  I've had a QFR top on a Filco bottom and vice versa.  I had to shave off one plastic PCB standoff on the bottom of one of the cases (forgot if it was Filco or QFR)....but it will fit.  Assuming that you are using a filco USB cable and not the QFR daughter board.
