Morning all - I have an A.87 PCB coming my way but I have nothing to put it in! As such I'm in need of
(in order of preference)
The bottom half of a Filco / QFR TKL keyboard case (I have a couple of case tops courtesy of mkawa but no spare bottom halves)
or alternatively
An entire TKL keyboard case for an A.87 PS2AVR, preferably in orange, white or at a push black.
Does anyone have anything going spare?
Cheers

I don't think the A87 will fit in a Filco/QFR case, as it doesn't have holes for the plate standoffs. These usually go through the PCB and touch the plate. The plate then screws onto them.

You'd need a custom case designed for the A87, like the ones GON sells.

Hmmm - hadn't thought about that... Might well be that I need a proper case for it then... I didn't but the QFR tops for that reason at least (I bought them for my Filcos)
In that case does anyone have a case they want to sell that does fit the A.87?
Cheers bud

OP & title updated :)

You can maybe ask around on the Korean forums if anyone has the files for the acrylic cases and have someone cut you something, for the most part a case will be quite hard to find. I know the LZ series all fit them, but they don't fit in standard cases as the F-row is slightly further distance then filco/qfr cases. There are some really nice acrylic pieces out there, maybe if you ask GON if he can help source one.
-
I am beginning to think that may be the case (pun not intended) - I imagine that all suitable cases probably already have boards in them :)

Does the PCB fit in a KMAC (sorry for the rando question)?
-
Not sure tbh - I'd need to look into that more...
