Title: Realforce keyboard frame/case replacement?
Post by: newesc on Sun, 16 June 2013, 00:15:09

Hi all, I am a newbie. So I am just wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to replace realforce keyboard frame with different color?  Is it available out there? ;D

Other than swapping between black and white keyboards, there aren't any replacement case parts.

Hey, don't forget that there's those $450 ebay 87U cases! They come in pink and some kind of grey:

There has been one on amazon Japan for months now. But cost+fees+shipping it would end up at around $400.
