How accurate do you need the measurements to be? I don't have callipers but have a ruler if that's any use.It's a case, so it should have some wiggle room.
Also which keycaps do you want to fit it for? The difference between SA and row 2 DCS is going to be quite significant percentage wise as it's so small :)

I measure it as 95mm wide, 250mm long and 40mm tall to the top of a row 3 SA cap (the tallest I have) :)

Well the proper way to do things since your only goal in coming here seems to be to promote your cases would be to do your own research. The information is out there.Do your own research. This sub forum is for making things together not helping you sell cases.+1
Should I have asked in a different sub?

I couldn't find it after looking on both CTRL-ALT and here at GH. I also asked on the other forum that I'm a member of, but no one answered - so I thought I could ask over here.
Do you have a link, for the dimensions of a completed 40% with keycaps on it?
Cheers,

PCB is a rectangle, 9.00 inches by 3.00 inches. Our plate extends that to 9-3/4" x 3-5/8". Clearance between the bottom of the 0.060" thick plate and the base should be minimum 1/2" at the front for the Teensy.
USB mini jack is located on the bottom of the PCB, centered between the first two keys on the top row.

You should be able to account for the height of the keycaps yourself. You're making a felt lined sock with a draw string, it's not that hard.

Really?
I'll measure key caps for you, $20 per cap profile, I've got at least 5 different profiles.

Was I somehow unclear? You have images of a keyboard on your site. Measure the height of the keycaps on that and add it to the dimensions jd gave you.You should be able to account for the height of the keycaps yourself. You're making a felt lined sock with a draw string, it's not that hard.

Do what most people who make things do, either borrow one from someone or buy one yourself and use it as a model to base your cases off of. It's not fair to ask people to do all the research for you to make and sell something.I'll measure key caps for you, $20 per cap profile, I've got at least 5 different profiles.
I like the way you think.
And it's all or nothing with the profiles, right?

Our would you like one of us to make the socks for you and you could sell them too?

Then do your job. Find the jd45 thread, look at ron's images with the jd40 in them, use the dimensions you have been provided so far, and extrapolate the height with keycaps. They look like SA profile caps so you won't likely go gallery than that.Our would you like one of us to make the socks for you and you could sell them too?

I'm not Massdrop. I'm a maker.

For measuring his keyboard he already has the satisfaction of helping out a community member, but beyond that is for me and him to work out - but I appreciate your suggestion too.

As you've already pointed out, you're not a community member, you're a maker. A community member contributes to the community. All I've seen you do is try and sell **** to the community.
I am a member of the community AND a maker. You can be one or the other or both. My post count alone is enough to show I'm an active member.
And you're only trying to find information to make something you can sell.
I'm only new here. I wasn't hiding that I was looking for information to make sleeves. That's what I make. [...] But yeah, you guys are pretty agro [...] Let's be honest, it hasn't been a smooth ride.In general, this whole forum is mostly a community site, not a sales venue, and many of the members here don’t really want to mix too much commercialization into the fabric of the forum, because it’s seen to cheapen the culture of the community. There are specific subforums for selling stuff (under the “geekhack marketplace” section), and advertisements/commercial activity mostly stays contained there. If you had made a post advertising your sleeves under the “artisan services” subforum, you’d have no problem. Alternately, in the “keyboards” subforum there’s a thread called “simple questions, simple answers” which is a great place for one-line questions like yours.

No, don't worry SpAmRaY, I get it.
Thanks btw for asking me to make prototypes of bags for you and your HHKB and Numpad. I really appreciate you asking for that, then trolling me, here and on Reddit.
Shall I post the request you made in your PM?
I'm interested in a carrying case that could accommodate a HHKB and a 23U numberpad.
Here is a photo of the boards
Hey,
Are the HHKBs the same size as the PokerIIs?
You haven't modded that so the boards are stuck together have you?
When you think about the bag, are you thinking about two bags, or a bag with a pouch? Or just a really long sleeve?
Thanks for your interest.

HHKB dimensions 294 x 110 x 39.9mm (11.6 x 4.3 x 1.6in) the realforce 23u number pad Dimensions: 93 × 152 × 37 mm (3.6 x 6.0 x 1.5in)
comparison i found courtesy of google of a hhkb and poker
And no they are two separate things and ideally the case would allow them to sit side by side just like on the desk perhaps with a small built in divider between them so they don't rub each other OR a double sided case where one is on one side and one on the other.
perhaps you could get some inspiration from here https://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=access,cases&pid=pdkb01sd# (https://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=access,cases&pid=pdkb01sd#)
that case above is nice however only the one side is padded of course i'm not sure on your pricing, this all could be too costly.
Hey SpAmRay,
We tried a couple of different prototypes to have the HHKB and the numpad side-by-side or, like you said, with a divider.
For our tests we did a Poker II and a CM switch tester.
So, the divider thing didn't really work out, it meant we had an opening at either end of the bag and it didn't carry well.
Next we looked at a sleeve, where the two sat beside each other. But, I was worried they would scratch so, we put the tester inside a second sleeve inside the main one... And either the main sleeve was too loose for the Poker or too tight for the tester.
Ultimately, we think the best thing would be to get two individual pouches. And, then put those into your rucksack or briefcase.
But then I discovered that you're the fella whose chasing me on Reddit and Geekhack complaining about my prices and that I'm just trying to sell bags. So - in the end - I doubt very much that you'll be interested in buying the bags, but we did learn something along the way, and we'll likely apply it as we move forward.

It took less than a minute, I spend much longer helping newbies with matrix questions and they don't give me anything...
As I see it people are more likely to support JD/[CTRL]ALT (by buying 40% boards) if there is a case available so by helping Pete everyone wins :)
