Yes we sure can.
do you have any or can get more pictures of the case?
mainly the side since I would like to see if it has an incline. and maybe the bottom too which would not be that important.

I'm pretty sure these were made using the same design as the plastic Poker cases. So they should really be practically identical, except that these are made from aluminum, obviously.
Pricing on the Poker 2 will be around $100-$110 or £65-70
Does the Poker II discount only come in conjunction with buying a case?
Around $100-$100? haha, I bet I can guess how much it is!

nice price sir
when are you gonna have them in
So what would be the total cost with shipping for a Poker 2 + case?

Well, end of September I was told. I have a person in the EU who I have been in touch with, with a MOQ of 20. I can also get 2 of each switch from the people who are supplying the cases.
This looks very similar to the vortex design.
Am I right, or are they from somewhere else?
As stated in the IC thread, these are Aluminium ones from Vortex yes.
Anyone notice the burring on the circular imprints...espec toward the left of the case? Looks like plastic not milled alum. No?
As JD says, these are cast, not milled, hence the lower cost.
Well, the quality will not be as good as a milled case, but it will still be far superior to plastic. Casting is cheaper as it uses less material. A Milled case is milled from 1 solid piece of aluminium and there is a lot of waste, but the strength will be slightly better.

If/when this is confirmed to work with the gh60 then I'll be in for 2. That's the only thing stopping me from pulling the trigger on these.
Once your sample arrives would you be able to check with komar if it would fit?
WHA?????? ???
I'm kind of interested, but can you give more information about the 60% aluminium case? What are the rest of the 40%?

I just filled out the form, though I only really want it if it's GH60-compatible. So if it turns out that it won't fit, I may need to cancel (if it's not too late). Else, I guess I'll resell it or something. :)
Would we get tracking information (EU) when you send it?
What are the odds of us getting a shot of this assembled with a Poker/Poker II PCB? I'm basically sold on the case, but was hoping that I could see the finished product, so to speak.
I am getting some Pokers in next week, need to hear back from my contact about getting a sample.
While nothing in this life is guaranteed 100%, I can assure you this case will almost certainly fit the GH60 perfectly. One of the key factors in the design spec of the GH60 was that it fit into existing Poker cases. There should be nothing at all to preclude the GH60 from fitting into future Poker/Pure/Poker II/Pure Pro cases, as well.
I presume it would be cheaper for JD to send it to you rather than me sending it to you, let me ask JD ;)

I take it then that this case will fit the Pure? Really tempted to get one and can probably squeeze some money for it.
Also, what's the shipping like for us Canadian folks?
$41 shipped from me to Canadia. :(

I don't know what the time table is on these cases being to my front door, but I travel back and forth to Toronto from Tennesse fairly regularly. I wouldn't be above bringing with and shipping to you. I don't know if that would net you much in the way of savings (I'm not familiar with shipping costs in the Great White North). If that's something you might be interested in, we can take it to PM. If not, well, I tried.$41 shipped from me to Canadia. :(

Of course I can mate ;) What was the issue dude?
Sorry if this has already been asked, but can anyone verify that the case will work with the Poker II plated PCB.
When i tried to put my Poker II into the aluminium CNC case that came with my Pure, the poker plate didn't fit :(
Fits Poker and Poker 2
Are these basically just the stock poker case (angle etc) but metal?
Edit: I mean that in a good way - I like the stock poker case, it's just too light

You just don't understand what you're looking at. There is no "top of the case" because it is a simple tray style case. That's how the Poker, etc. have always been. You don't need anything besides keycaps to be the top of your 60% keyboard.
Order placed! Will the Poker 2's come with a blank space bar?

The router is in my room. While he was plugging in a new cable he pulled my keyboard cable and the poker II fell to the ground. The corner of the case broke off and the ctrl keycap was missing. I was pretty upset but he was helpful about the whole thing and offered to pay for a replacement. The keyboard is still functional and I didn't want to ask a college student for $100 to replace a functioning keyboard so I started looking for compromises and was super excited to see this here. He said he'd be happy to replace the case for me.
Everything went better than expected :p
Considering that a replacement plastic case is worth something like 10$ you actually made a pretty decent deal :thumb:
I was talking about the cheap stock plastic case not one of the fancy ones that are offered here in the GB section.Well, I was too. But never mind, lets keep on topic.
Hey, I'm sorry, but I have to ask where I am able to look up the colors for the cable :)
If I know that, I can play my order :D

Wow damn. I'll pass on this.
What kind of feet do these cases have if any?
^
might be rubber feets like the ones on the plastic poker case ?
Noob question here, but I have never modded a keyboard before. Would this back case be easy to switch out with the current case?
I mean, is it as simple as undoing the few screws I can see between the keycaps, or is there a more involved process?
When is this GB going to end?

Anyway, will this fit a GH60 board with plate without modification?
Thanks jdcarpe! I'll take the risk. I'll just mod if necessary.
Patience guys, OP is still catching up after a holiday.
EDIT: Pexon am I losing my mind or did you have an IC up a while back for some TKL cases from Vortex? I could swear I remember seeing a thread but I can't find it now. Don't really want to pay $150 if I don't have to.
As mentioned in a former reply I want 2 cases please :thumb:
When I hear back from Vortex looooool :p
Looks good, any idea how many Australian orders you have? I can handle proxying to Aus members as I've done some quick maths and it will work out much cheaper even after paying shipping within Australia.
Put me down for 2 cases and 1 blue switch poker 2 :) Brisbane Australia

Aww yiss. Will definitely "enjoy "my" feeling more" with the Poker II ;)
Yes, but I am going to order a few more for spares, so you may be ok to get one directly from my store after the GB
That DHL link takes me the UK site, says £11.95 for the cheapest option. I would have thought that shipping within the UK Royal mail would be fine since it offers insurance for £40 or less by default. If you say its £8 I'll go with that, i've not problem just seems like its its more than required.
When is the last day to get in on this? I need to get paid first before I can buy..If you read the first post by pexon the deadline is clearly explained but it´s the 30th of october! :)
I think I filled out the order form but didn't get a invoice yet
Are these basically just the stock poker case (angle etc) but metal?
Edit: I mean that in a good way - I like the stock poker case, it's just too light
From what I can tell, yes. They seem to have the lower profile of the Pure CNC case, but with the thickness of the stock plastic case. And of course, they are cast aluminum, not milled.

just a clarification. does this mean that this case is not the same stock case for Poker II dimension-wise?

now the question is, should i jump on this or get a poker from qtan? :D
this may sound like a stupid question, but:
there are no rubber feet on this case, are there? it's just the plain metal housing, am i right?

Pretty sure we hit the MOQ. Now just the matter if Vortex replied the emails to Pexon.Yup! It is 93 cases total in the order uptadet oct 1 and moq was 80 so yeah!
Anyone knows when it will be realized?? Please??
I placed an order for 2 a couple days ago so the quantity us even more, 95?

right, sorry, i'm retarded :) so till the end of october....thanks :)
Will catch up on this tonight dudes. It looks like we have thrashed the MOQ. Will be contacting Vortex tonight on the progress. Will still take orders up to the 31st of October too, so no worries about the timing.
Please note, due to the lack of Poker 2s in stock, anywhere at the moment, there is a large chance the Pokers wont be happening at this moment in time. I am more than happy to honor the discounts for the cables however.
Postage to the US is still firm in terms of pricing, as is UK/ EU, I just need to sort out proxying for other countries. There may be import tax etc, so we need to sort out that too, if it means splitting it between 100 or so orders, then so be it, it will only be a matter of a few dollars.

How is it that no one quite knows what case we're getting?This was my assumption when I placed my order. There are height considerations that can be had, but all I care about is the price is right, and it fits my PCB.

Yup pm me aswell a post ITT. Very busy with work atm so just bare with me, I still haven't updated the OP as there are still lots to add, sorry for this, all orders are acknowledged and anyone who posted in the doc are secured. Closing orders tonight and chasing up Vortex again, it's shocking their customer service.
I really don't understand some people here. It was clear from beginning that orders are received until the end of October. It's early November and people are canceling orders because they have not received the case yet? Just buy on Amazon then, group buys are not for you.
Agor, pexon has been trying to get a hold of Vortex for over 3 months, and had no response. If Vortex was responsive and willing to take orders, then people wouldn't be complaining. At this point, no one knows when they will get their things, or even when the order will be placed to get the ball rolling. Other companies that have dealt with Vortex has said that it isn't unheard of for Vortex to ignore their customers for months at a time, and refuse to accept orders. I know I don't want to do business with a company that has customer service like that.

No worries dude, I can't believe them to be honest, its a very bad show on their part.
150 x $50 = $7,500 - I wish I was able to just plain ignore such a large amount of money...
I might still want a case. I don't mind waiting tho..
Looks like this is still on, just![snip]

Looks like this is still on, just! They are in the process of remaking the molds; remember them saying they are making them better quality? This seems to be the cause of the delay.

Don´t get your hopes up, it´s vortex.. :(
That´s true they release great products but every GB i heard they participated in except the doubleshot pbt had problems. I wouldn´t expect vortex to offer more colours for a alu case for 50$ (which is a baragain for a alu case) since similiar cases would have gone for nearly twice the price. I don´t dislike vortex products but they could atleast gave pexon an answer directly instead of him beggning to commuicate! Just my thoughts! :)Don´t get your hopes up, it´s vortex.. :(
What does that supposed to mean? They come out with a lot of new stuff vs. other larger companies. Like not only do they offer custom Poker and TKL cases for reasonable prices already vs. the competition, but they also have done plenty of cheap PBT keycap sets, like the dye sub sets and the recent double-shot PBT sets. And now they are working on more Cherry-style legends for their PBT double-shots and apparently entirely new case molds. Haven't they also released some backlit-friendly sets in multiple colors for 60% keyboards? They have their ups and downs, but still, have to give them credit for trying and actually offering a lot of affordable things already.
All I was saying is that there are some really negative statements about the company, like yours, and I don't think it's entirely fair, given that they still manage to add some innovation into cheap packages. Yeah, there are generally some quality control issues with their products, but who else is going to sell you a set of thick double-shot PBT keycaps for $33? Just look at it from that perspective. There's a reason their prices are lower, but at the same time, you still get something different and something better without paying a lot of money, relatively-speaking.I see your point and i don´t wanna flood this thread so in conclusion. You get the quality you pay for, and vortex is delevering good quality considering to the price! :)
Been injecting some Vortex advocacy lately, since I think they deserve it.

I don't think those are the ones we're getting, they're currently available through MechanicalKeyboards.com and they're over $100. They're low profile cases as well which are kind of an acquired taste, I'm not a fan personally.

Okay...
I genuinely cannot believe you think the case that Vortex posted on their facebook page a month ago are the same as the "Tex" made ones on mechanicalkeyboard.com.Show Image(http://oi42.tinypic.com/2h519nm.jpg)
Here's a direct link to the comparison:

The one on the left is the $100+ one available on MK, the one on the right is the ones that Vortex posted a month ago.
Not even close.

Yeah I said that I was mistaken like 5 posts above.
Ordered, many thanks
I thought it was cancelled?
I thought it was cancelled?
There were a few who had to drop out, but we've heard from Vortex that yes, they're still doing this just not 'til after they finish retooling for a newer, fancier case.
So get while you can, if you're interested! It's still on, just delayed some (a lot).

I wouldn't count on anything before Pexon confirms it.
Erm..... Vortex just emailed me
Will disclose more info when I am allowed :thumb:
By the way: is the Poker 2 offer still valid? If not I have to source one from somewhere else ^-^
Will there be extras?Or a 2nd round?
Its always been low profile. If you look at the pics on the first page, you can see how much thicker the frame is, much better IMO, almost twice the depth now.
Just waiting on confirmation from Vortex, then I will start getting invoices out.

This is a simple replacement housing,. It was hard to tell from the photo posted, but I was thinking it was a metal version of the plastic case the Poker comes with. Sorry.
I'm not sure yet, all I can get from my supplier is reds at the moment, which are in my store, can't get my hands on other switch options
Orders closed over 2 months ago, so no, no new orders.
As I said, I will be having some for myself and a few I will sell through my store, so there will be extras.

haha, I think its a stellar looking case man, for the money, I think you'd struggle to find anything that comes close.
Yup same here.haha, I think its a stellar looking case man, for the money, I think you'd struggle to find anything that comes close.
Oh definitely, I'm not super keen on low profile cases but for the price I couldn't care less!
Yes it is going to happen, just be patient.Sorry.
Wasn't there a name list in the OP that stated everybody who placed an order?
I just wanted to make sure that I was on it. It has been quite some time since I submitted my order ;)
Confirmation has come through.
I will be getting invoices sorted in the next few days/ week. There are 130 ish invoices to prepare, so please bare with me.

A pallet of 200 cases! :o
As I said, I will be having some for myself and a few I will sell through my store, so there will be extras.Hey pexon, I'd love to buy a case if you happen to have any homeless ones left. I'd also be interested in getting a couple of your cool cables to go along with it. Thanks! ;D

Yeah that's probably going to hurt bro....
damn. hopefully it won't hurt that much. :x

I'll have to sort something out.damn. hopefully it won't hurt that much. :x
I'll have to do some thinking, as I've done a GB before and I was a fair bit out of pocket. This is on a much larger scale, so the out of pocketness will be even more!

I will be having some leftovers yea, thats not an issue.
I would love to get one of these with a Poker 2 with Brown switches. I make it to be $166 + Paypal fees ($50 case, $100 Poker, $16 Europe shipping). That's an awesome price for a Poker 2 with aluminium case!
If there are some still left after they go out, of course.
Again, back in the hands of Vortex, I am not going to start invoicing unless I get written confirmation. Also need to have a sit down at the weekend and have a think about the import duty, to me.

Hey Pexon and everyone,
Thanks again for doing the group buy! The majority of us have been waiting patiently, and we want the cases. You said that you won't be able to get the Pokers, which is not too much of a problem since Pokers can be gotten elsewhere. If I was doing this GB, I would also be disappointed to hear about the import duty. I may be wrong, but if it come down to paying a little more for the cases, then most people probably won't mind. $60 instead of $50, or something like that. Anyone agree?
Thanks,
ABTmRw

OK cool, if I put up an announcement saying there will be an additional charge of 10USD for the import duty, PayPal is only 3% as I stated from the off. Still a damn good price though. If anyone is not up for that, I can offer it up to the other people who've been PMing me for one. There will be a few left overs anyway.

$60 is alright for me.+2 for me.
So you're saying it's going to be $10 more?
Pull out of this gb?
When do you think the invoices will be going out? Just trying to figure out cash flow with the GB's I'm committed to.
Where will you be putting leftovers?

Still in, now send the invoice before the Canadian dollar goes any lower!! :eek:

Tell me about it man, the Australian dollar has been ****house the last 6 months or so and I keep forgetting we're no-where near parity anymore. Keep getting shocked when I see the Paypal conversion :(
Hullo. I'll have to pull out of my order of 1 case. I purchased another one instead.

Thanks for the info.Pexon has been transitioning his site to a new version. Try this temporary link:
Wanted to check your site but it gives a 404 error. Is that supposed to happen?

Are these cases still available?
Do people take the time to read the thread?

No, most people are even to lazy to read the OP.
Just look at the huge number of repeated (and already answered) questions in every long GB thread..

True, but I think it would be helpful to have an up to date FAQ in the OP of every GB thread.
Well if you already read the thread, you would know that orders were no longer being taken for months.
I am not sure at the moment. Invoicing will begin when Vortex finally confirm we can get them, I don't want to invoice until I get confirmation, I don't want to let you all down and have to give you all refunds
Sorry Pexon. I changed my mind because I had forgotten about the shipping costs.
I want only one of case. That's enough.
Thanks for your help.
Do I still have an order for one?
Well finally they responded, so I'm ahppy we can get this GB on the go. I will start doing the invoices soon, I'm snowed under with cables at the moment, so I will start invoicing in the evenings
If theres any canceled orders give me a shout! I'd take one :DI'm interested as well :)
Stop asking the same questions over and over and over people, extras will be on pexons website. Crazy how I didn't even take part in this and I know that..
Good news everyoneShow Image(http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090731021518/en.futurama/images/thumb/a/ad/GoodNewsEveryone.jpg/500px-GoodNewsEveryone.jpg)
Invoicing starts tomorrow
Nice!
What is the timeframe we are looking at once you have collected the money?
6 weeks for delivery after payment is sent to Vortex.
So the faster you guys pay the invoices, the faster we can get the money sent over.
Received invoice this evening, thanks.
Probably my fault, I'd submitted a replacement order for 2 rather than 1, adding comment that it was intended to replace my earlier order.
Do you have a record of my later order for 2?
Assume I should ignore the invoice for 1?
Shipping would be 25 USD if you wanted 2
Pexon, I received an invoice for this case today.
Please refer to my post on 9 January on page 16.
I stated I was no longer interested in this case since it is now low profile.
Thank you for removing me from the list.

I didn't received my invoice yet.
There are over 150 invoices to be sent out chaps, I am working on them in the evenings, I have had a very busy (and still have) ahead of me, lots of cable makery in the workshop today! Loads of invoices will be going out tomorrow, I promise. Fingers crossed I can get the majoirty of them out by the weekend.

27 invoices created and PayPal requests have been sent out.
I'm about 1/4 of the way through the orders, so by the weekend we will be nearly 100% sorted! :D
Thanks guys, we are having some drop outs, but thats to be expected, its been a long time since the GB was organized and now, invoicing.
REMEMBER, if you want one, EMAIL ME, please don't PM me it will fall through the gaps. Email james@pexonpcs.co.uk with 60% GB in the title, your full name, full address, how many $15 cables you want (colours etc) and how many cases and I will put you on the stand by list. There is 1 spot open at the moment, all drop out orders have been filled in bar that one.
Thanks as always,
James
Invoice 100 sent! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! :-\ :))Except there's a glitch with #98 -- email incoming as soon as I re-find your email address.
C'mon guys pay up so we can get them asap :p :))
whats up with it bro man? james@pexonpcs.co.ukGot your reply. Thanks, and like others have said, looking forward to this.
Can't wait for this. Looks like a low profile case too in the pictures.
Yay :D. Paid
paid :D looking forward to this. Roughly when can we expect delivery? Two months?
Hi Pexon, I emailed you because I am interested in buying one of these aluminum cases.
you just asked for my address and that's it. So I am wondering if you need anything else? Do you need my PayPal for payment? Sorry if I am rushing you. This is my first time doing a group buy and I just heard about it, so I am kind of confused on what I am supposed to do. I saw an order form on the original post, but that has been ended for a while. Do you need any other information? I have seen others posting in this thread saying that they received an invoice, but I haven't received one yet. Again, sorry if I am pushing you or rushing you, I am just a bit confused how this all works. Just let me know and I will patiently wait :) Thank you.
Did I respond?Uhm i got an invoice like 2 days ago from pexon but I canceled like 2 months ago ... :confused:
Also, still around 30 unpaid invoices, please guys, let me know if you wish to cancel. I will be forced to reopen orders and cancel unpaid invoices
Not received my invoice yet ;/.
Not received my invoice yet ;/.
Me too, but I guess Pexon simply hasn't sent the invoice yet :)
Still havent received mine :(
I sent an Email a while ago to remind

Please email me again dude
surprise invoice from something I guess I signed up for ages ago?Yup, I totally forgot that I had ordered a USB cable, as well.
did I order the usb cable? cuz its a $95 invoice
Sorry, just cancel the PayPal invoice, it will tell me you don't want it, if you don't I'll just send reminders. This GB is being done in my spare time, hence why its hard for me to get all the people who cancel ticked off, invoices changed and finding new people to take place. I am sorry for sending an invoice when you have already canceled.

How do I cancel an invoice? I have posted twice in the forum that I was no longer wanting this case. I have sent you an email to this effect. Today I have yet another reminder email.
I do NOT want this case since it is now a low profile.
Received a invoice some time ago.
I ordered two cases but the invoice is just for one case.
Can you resend me a invoice for two cases, please?

I guess that's what pexon needs to sort through all this efficiently :D
Or Email him.

Do you guys want to know how many unpaid invoices there are? Its alarming. ::)

Yes please dude, I've sent all invoices out, including new orders. Fill in the form and I will get one sent ASAP
When will the cases be sent out? No rush, just curious.
James, dude, I am still getting reminders to pay the invoice for this GB. As stated before I am no longer interested in purchasing the case.
I go to PayPal and log in and see no where on the invoice to cancel it. See the attached.
[snip]
man i was so upset that i didn't jump on this before it closed...
but now i'm upset that i'm not sure i can afford this glorious second chance to get one. Assuming i can, and assuming they're not all gone before i do, i would certainly like to obtain one of these...
edit:
speaking of which, are these already produced and awaiting replaced cancellations to reach MOQ, so that they can be shipped? Or is production awaiting paid invoices?
I got to thinking, i'd like one of these, but i'm a bit worried that MOQ won't be met, and the end result will be money tied up in something that either never gets delivered, or ends up taking forever.
So what's going on with this?
What happens if all the cancellations aren't picked up, and when does it happen?
Plate installed in the case pic anyone? Would love to see a plate in this for reference. Much love to whoever posts a pic. <3

The first post has what you are probably looking for.
Op is a pcb mount unfortunately. I would assume whoever took the pics should have a plate available just for display. Oh well. I'm sure I'll be buying this soon anyways. Lol
Are there still more available? If so do I just need to fill out the doc and pay?
Are there still more available? If so do I just need to fill out the doc and pay?
Yep. Fill out the google order form and pay the invoice when it's sent to your email.
Appreciate you guys helping out, it means a lot. Still need to have orders for 20 or 30 cases, so spread this around, grab one if you haven't already, show your friends etc.
Thanks, James! :-*

Are you sending invoices as you get orders or sending out batches?
Curious when I should be expecting one so I can get it settled ASAP.
Thanks
sutpid question, but do you guys know if the case will work with the GH60?

Just checking if you sent invoices out recently, awaiting mine, mahalo!
Just checking if you sent invoices out recently, awaiting mine, mahalo!
Rest of the invoices are going out tonight :thumb:
I'm going to order a Poker II and it should be here in about a week. I would like to see what it is like before I buy this aluminum case. Do you think you will have some cases in stock in about a week so I can make my decision then?
cool so its only going to be like six more months til they reply right? 8)
Right, we are ready to go, I've emailed Vortex and waiting to know where to send the dollar! 8)
Does the case come with any kind of feet? How tall is the case? Is it a similar size to the stock plastic Poker II case?
Great news! Thanks again Pexon appreciate it! Please keep us updated when youʻre able to!
Hey pexon, didn't receive any invoice yet so I just filled out another Google Docs form.
Does the case come with any kind of feet? How tall is the case? Is it a similar size to the stock plastic Poker II case?Its pretty much a metal version of the stock case, so no feet although I am sure it will be easy enough to add some on
It is low profile? I did not know that. Pexon how do I get a refund? I am not a fan of low profile
pexon, any confirmation on whether the case is low profile or not? from the pictures in OP it looks significantly lower than the stock case (looking at the hole for the USB port). i'm happy either way but it'd be nice for people to know what they're buying
Sent you an email a while back asking a couple of question but it seems like you respond faster here.
Just wanted to confirm my payment and the was wondering if you still have any coiled mini USB for sale.
I didn't see it on your website so I assume that you don't or I guess you'll add that item later.
Thanks
I'd like to avoid giving refunds back as I've had a nightmare of a time getting people to pay the invoices I'm the first place. If you really are desperate gainz8 send me an email. Please note this is an exception.

I have coiled cables, but not for $15, they are on my site, look for the mini USB cables and there is a check box if you want coilage! :D
When will this be available?

Right, they've gotten back to me, so we can order soon. I also have these pics:-Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/cTD9Adw.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/5FzNP05.jpg)

You guys can't see the case, below the bubble wrap? It's a box ... but the open box has a case in it.I think they are all just being sarcastic... :))
Near as I can tell, anyway.
HE DOESN'T HAVE THE CASES YET :)Pardon me, could you repeat it once more mate? :P
Pardon me, could you repeat it once more mate? :P
Ah that's better. Much appreciated AK :))Pardon me, could you repeat it once more mate? :pOf course, good sir.
:'(Are you crying because of that sad panda, or because everything's ruined, Vortex's main office and warehouse exploded, and our money is gone forever?

They finally got back to you? holy ****, took long enough.
Guess who I am going to be sending money to tonight? 8)
Also, v4mp send me an email please fella
Vortex said the package will take up to 6 weeks to reach me. Once they are here I will take 1 week out to sort, print invoices etc.

A fair amount, let me look into it
Yep, extras still available, need to get some more rid of as I am out of pocket in this GB so far
Order recieved, will send the invoice later tonight :thumb:
Can I still purchase? and if yes are they only available in black?
Hey mate,
Just wondering if they are still available, filled out a request a week ago, and I haven't heard anything...
Cheers

Hope at least one is still available :D I just ordered, didn't had the money until now :(
Good news young ones, extras will be available, invoices to be sent soon
Good news young ones, extras will be available, invoices to be sent soon
No, I simply have not had time to write them up. I know I said I would last weekend, but I endeavor to this.
The are just finalizing everything, according to their last email. They hope to get them to me mid-July
Glad to hear everything is going well then, its not as long as I expected myself though so thats nice :)
Were there still some available? I filled out the form last weekend and haven't received an invoice yet, but I understand that you've been super busy.
Unfortunately not, we've email Vortex to see whats happening several times over the past few weeks, as always, as soon as I know more, I'll let you guys know
@Pexon, is it possible to transfer orders for someone who has already paid? (Just have them pay me and we both show you proof so you can change shipping address?)if there is a possible chance of a transfer i would be down!!
On a very related note, now that MOQ is met, would anyone be interested in taking my spot in the group buy?
Reason being that I sold my Poker a while ago because I got tired of waiting (had not learned the valuable lesson of patience yet... also became very interested in custom keyboards), so now my plan is just to sell the case on classifieds right away after I get it. However, transferring the order now will save a potential buyer the shipping cost on top of the price I pay.
We pencilled in mid July in regards to receiving them, I'll let you know when Vortex get back
Yes, so I can make the change on the order form, or at least his name! I can't change anything unless I know some information about the old order
Will reply now :)Pexon, please?
Will reply now :)Pexon, please?

email me at: :-X .co.uk please brotherI didn't catch your address, could you PM it?
No worries man, I'm sorry for my lack of reply, I've not been as active the last few weeks on the forums as we've had a lot on here.
Vortex have come back to me and we've got the cases confirmed that they are on their way, I'll get your invoice sorted for you TONIGHT, again, sorry for the delay man
Sure is, I'm super excited now 8)
No worries man, I'm sorry for my lack of reply, I've not been as active the last few weeks on the forums as we've had a lot on here.Sweet, just paid! I can definitely understand being busy and having to wait on another party to give fulfillment info. One of my most common phrases is "it's only a week late...so it's right on time" since it seems everything is always behind where I work...

Well, they are on their way :)
Are these cases basically the same as these - https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.583328871734827.1073741837.241720585895659&type=1 - just in black??

So worth it for the price.Are these cases basically the same as these - https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.583328871734827.1073741837.241720585895659&type=1 - just in black??
Don't quote me on it but, no they are not the same as far as I understand its basically the Poker II stock case in aluminium instead of plastic and slightly lower hight to it.

Yes I would say so very much for what its costing its pretty awesome, nothing too fancy but then again I like the look of the stock poker case and I'm sure a lick of paint can jazz it up somewhat :)
@pexon: I received the invoice, I'm sorry but due to recent GB's and other KB stuff I'm short of cash :( So the next one on the list can take my place. I'm really sorry that I have to say pass to this very good deal. Hope you understand :thumb:

Are we expecting the cases to be delivered any day now?
Seems like it's taking forever! AGH! :eek:Are we expecting the cases to be delivered any day now?
Yes, we are waiting for the cases to be delivered to pexon. That should be any day now.
It's a pallet of metal cases, it's probably been shipped with economy shipping. It'll arrive soon.Seems like it's taking forever! AGH! :eek:Are we expecting the cases to be delivered any day now?
Yes, we are waiting for the cases to be delivered to pexon. That should be any day now.
Hi GHers, following my simple question, I was redirected to this thread. As I'm awaiting my white poker 2, I'm trying to find a black stock poker 2 case. Do any of you have one (for sale)?
Any pictures of the final case yet? Did I miss that photo? :-\
Any pictures of the final case yet? Did I miss that photo? :-\
Same as OP.
I will get real world photos up tomorrow
Well, safe to say the cases are really good quality for the price, especially. They are the same cases as shown in the OP. They will fit great into the Poker 2 and GH60. I had a play with a V60 mini and one, you can use the case with one, however you can only use 4 screw holes.
Thanks for the kind words man.Hey! How long do you think it will be for US buyers? :cool:
I know Vortex have taken their sweet time getting the cases to me, so I wan't to start getting them out to the people who filled the form out first, they've been waiting a while for them.
Thanks again for everyones patience! 8)
Hey! How long do you think it will be for US buyers? :cool:[attachimg=1]
Need someone to take over my order ASAP!!
Sorry man pexon needed someone asap and i already found someone else sorry man!Need someone to take over my order ASAP!!

I've tried to get as cheap as possbile carriage on these, we've used DHL Global Mail so we can only track them until they reach the hub in Frankfurt. These weigh about .6kg with the packing materials etc and $18 with tracking international is impossibleThanks for the update! Too bad about the tracking but if International orders are being shipped out next week that's some good news!
We're making our way through the cases, 25kg of them were shipped out today, DHL came to pick them up this afternoon from the workshop. The start of the EU orders will be hitting mid next week and international about 1 week from now.
You guys will not be disappointed with these cases
Some of the early orders (international) went out TODAY 8)STOP! Makes me wish I got on this sooner :(

If not it's probably fine anyway :)
Can you send it again please brother :thumb:
Just got mine about 20mins ago that's some fast post, will post a few pictures tomorrow, looks really nice though a LOT, LOT better quality than you made it seem I have to say.
Also thanks for the Sweets, I ate them almost right away ~ Nomnomnom :3
Are there any spares going Pexon?
Yes, I think Pexon did well to undersell these, as we didn't really know they'd turn out. Now that we know, is there going to be a round 2? Could probably offer colours if not directly then through a third party? Not to make more work for you or anything :p
Wow. really wish i'd picked one up now. if i'd known they were that low on profile.
Gratz on the sale though Pexon. hope it didn't burn too much of a hole in your pocket
Yes sir, we ordered a few more. These will go up on our site only when all case orders have been completed and sent :thumb:
Hahah, I will make an announcement when all the orders are dispatched and we get them live :thumb:I hope you are close to shipping them all out! ;D

Np. It's just a bonus when he finishes getting all the cases out cause not only do we get our cases, but people who missed out will then have the chance to order from his website.

BUt the sad thing is I ordered and paid for two cases on march 29th and I only received one case ;(

I think so too.
Mine just arrived (well 20 minutes ago) so I thought I'd snap some piccys and do a few comparisons / mini write-up. Overall I think it's a very nice case - there are no obvious manufacturing marks on the case itself and it feels nice and solid. It has a slightly rough texture to it which is nice. It is very low profile - even more so than my Pure CNC case, but I happen to like that - I think it gives boards a nice sleek look. Anyway - on to the piccys

Hi! I sent you an e-mail this weekend, just wondering if you ever got it :)
Love the look of the case mounted, GeorgeK. makes me wish I had a nice coloured plate like that... :p
Just got mine. Feels nice, great texture and with a satisfying heft to it. My keyboard feels sturdy like a tank now. :DInteresting that you got it in Sweden before people in the UK. I'm guessing you were one of the first orders.

YES! Your cases are on their way as we speak, first to Frankfurt @ DHL European HQ/ distro centre, then on a plane to da US
Pexon. I still haven't had a confirmation on the cancellation of my order. I've messaged you on reddit, emailed you, now I'm here trying to get you to cancel the order. It's been two weeks now since I've requested the cancellation of my order, yet the charge still exists on my paypal.
Pictures? Here you go:

Great! The extra wright sure is a nice point of the cases, LET ME SEE SOME PICS PEOPLE! :D
Oh I can't wait for these to arrive. After seeing the pictures really want the case now. I can finally take out my poker from its box. :)) Just wondering what is that foam stuff people put inside keyboard case do?

To dampen the sound you meant ?
I think any type of foam should be alright. I've used some anti slipped mat as well. It's works fine
Wanted to say I have got my case! And very satisfied. Was expecting lower quality because of the price. Thanks!
Just got mine.
Thanks, pexon!
Were the extras already posted on the website? Am I too late?

Hi Pexon,
Could you please get back to me (emailed a few days ago), getting really anxious as I paid 8th of May 2014 and still haven't got a definitive answer about the money being received, let alone the case being shipped.
Just mindful that you will start selling the extras on your website once you have sent out all the group buy orders and don't want to miss out!
Also really keen for a cable to be added to my order (again details are in the email I sent you).
Cheers,
- Cub3y
Don't know how you've slipped through, let me do some research man :thumb:
Case has been dispatched last week 8)
Case has finally arrived, awesome packaging btw Pexon! Thank you very much. Shows Royal fails speed when that cant get a case 200 miles yet DHL can get it to america quicker!Where in the US are you? I am in NJ and still nothin :/

Hopefully it will be with you in the next few days man :thumb:
Alabama and still nothing here too. Not worried or anything, and won't have anything to put in it until gh60... but I still want to fondle mine, you know.
Question. Does DHL want a signature for these? Or will they leave them at the door if there is no answer? Obviously not having any tracking info and DHL holding onto the package could cause a problem.
Have all the UK cases come through now? Just checked with home and nothing for me yet.
Awesome. Got my case yesterday, thanks pexon! Now just waiting for GH60 for something to fill it with...

oo these turned out nice :D I'll be picking one up at the end of the month if theres any left :D
Well hey, if DHL dropping off, thats even better :thumb: Normally, the Global Mail service is finished by the National postal service of the destination country.Well that's weird since US people have been saying here DHL not USPS has been delivering... Guess I'll have to wait and see.
For me, it was my usual post lady, not DHL.Hopefully it is USPS cause then I won't have to worry about someone being around to sign for it...
Case received and looking sexy! Will post some pictures tomorrow. You're the man pexon, really appreciate you getting this group buy together so we can get cases of this quality for such a good price. On another note, does anyone know where I could obtain 4 rubber feet for the bottom of the board? Would also be cool to get a Pure Pro label to attach to the back
I think it depends where you live. If you're not near enough to a DHL delivery hub, then they give it to USPS for the last leg of the journey.
So pexon, there is no label number or anything that could be tracked? If my package has a label number and it's not hard to locate, could you email it to me?
Im UK based and got mine today, Royal Mail being slow as per usual. Some US folk had received theirs before me I think? Unless they're European? Either way no need to worry about packaging as its one of the better packaged items i've ever received!
Received the case today. Looks fantastic, thanks Pexon!Did usps deliver or Dhl?
Got mine in Hawaii today, super stoked with it! Anyone have any idea where i can find some "rubber feet" for the case, ideally one similar to that on the stock poker case?

After searching in vain, I simply got hold of the cheapest thin mouse pad I could find, cut pieces of it to suitable size and stuck them in place with double sided tape. Works like a charm.

Just got mine in Las Vegas today, and it was delivered by USPS. Vortex did such a great job with the case. All involved at Pexon, I'd just like to say the cable, packaging, and everything else is top notch. Thank you all so much for your hard work on this!
Case arrived today in New Orleans! Center screw head was actually stripped; had to go to a hardware store and have them remove it, but everything is great now!
Case feels nice and sturdy, tiny little scratch on the bottom but who cares.
Thanks for the candy, Pexon :v

Any cases left ?? Payday s Wednesday and I wouldn't mind one. :)Yes there are still is stock :)
From bottom (no feet) to the front edge, just a hair under 12mm (~11,8mm)Thank you so much for that fast respons! The Filco Wooden wrist rest is around 20 mm and 16 mm without the feets. Do you think it will be uncomfortable?
IMHO it will be perfect!Awesome thanks! :D
The case ends at the plate, so the bottom of the caps is ~4mm above that.
Add a couple of mm for case feet, and you are at ~18mm to the BOTTOM of the caps! :thumb:
Brilliant guys, glad you've all nearly got your cases. Get some pics up! 8)
Just a question, I haven't used a custom case before. And Just want to know what size of screws you use for this case to hold the PCB.

I bought a Pure Limited just for the case, but the Poker II's Space Bar stabilizers wouldn't fit inside :( The quality of the Pure's case was also well below this one, referenced in the text in the Imgur album.
Wow.. Beautiful! I thought I was unique w my 2 pure limited cases and now this happened.. I should get more, great price. :thumb:
Seeing all these cases make me jealous and i hope i get my case soon! Long time waiting :rolleyes:You will love it! :)
Davina is my mother ;)

For wider shots and quick pics, I generally use a Ricoh GR (last pic). The rest in the album were with a Pentax K-01 plus D-FA 100mm f/2.8 Macro WR lens :)I bought a Pure Limited just for the case, but the Poker II's Space Bar stabilizers wouldn't fit inside :( The quality of the Pure's case was also well below this one, referenced in the text in the Imgur album.

Vortex really smashed it with this version, my only gripe is the "apparent" gap where the front of the plate meets the case, but it's mostly an issue of parallax when you look at it. 9.8/10 on quality! For the price, it would be crazy to pass it up.
Finished my 60% keyboard with this case. I really like the case, it feels very good - especially the grainy texture is very nice.
I used M2x6 screws:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/mexjRRj.jpg)
As feet i cut out some photopolymer plates from work, which are perfect, because they are very very sticky, and the keyboard doesn't move a bit (the color is ugly):Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/Vgwy8U2.jpg)
The height is perfect, it seems that the case itself is on the ground:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/N1qqSok.jpg)
And the complete build:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/PgEypas.jpg)
I paid about 7 € for 50 screws, but there are also cheaper ones available. I had these screws left from my first attempts of bolt modding of a Model M. Better would be maybe button heads than countersunk screws, but i had no problem with the countersunk screws. I ordered them in Germany: http://www.screwsandmore.de/en/HEXAGON-SOCKET-SCREWS/Countersunk-DIN-7991/DIN-7991-stainless-steel-A2/ (http://www.screwsandmore.de/en/HEXAGON-SOCKET-SCREWS/Countersunk-DIN-7991/DIN-7991-stainless-steel-A2/)
Why would you need thinner ones? M2 fits perfect.
