Title: Hello from Malaysia!
Post by: holocaust176 on Fri, 16 January 2015, 08:59:02
Hey guys! Recently found out about this site. I've been really getting into changing the look of my Filco Majestouch 2 TKL.

Already got a set of PBT keycaps that I really like, now for the case/housing. Would you guys be so kind and point me in the right direction?
What do you guys recommend?

AFAIK, mechanicalkeyboards.com sells a aluminum cases made by Vortex and Tex (http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_list&c=44) but they're currently out of stock. :(

Welcome to Geekhack!

What material were you looking seeking for the casing?

If aluminium, infiniti has pretty much pointed you to where you can get one, if they come back in stock.

I don't think that there's a third party plastic/acrylic casing for Filco though. only aluminum. :(

qtan user to sell them, but not any more: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=34555.0

You could start a thread in his vendor forum (https://geekhack.org/index.php?board=81.0) to ask if he can get any more.
