I would like to gather a list of all the standard aftermarket 60% keyboard cases. This list will include very limited runs as well as commercially available cases. Your input will help to fill in this list so please comment below! I would like to have some 'Unique' photos not just a copy paste from google, so please post up pictures of your board if you would like them to be included.
Needed information:
- What is the case called?
- What are the variants of the case?
- Who makes this case?
- What Year was it made?
- What mount style is it?
- What color variations does it have?
- How many were made?
- Market price if still avail.
- Seller if still avail.
Please note: If the case has a very large production run I will classify it as 'Unlimited' this does not mean that they will continue to make it for the rest of eternity.

So I didn't want to mention this in the OP, so here it goes. I was wondering what you guys personally think should be added/removed/changed. Should I include: Original Price and/or Links to buying options. I can also include current sales of the limited cases that may be on the Classifieds page or on r/MechMarket. Also as you can see I mostly just included commercially available cases, I know of several others but I would like more information on them before I post a description.
Others:
-Duck Poker
-Hammer Case
-FMJ Case (Looks like Duck Poker) I know very little about this one
-
For the TEX may want to add that there are 2 options, lipped and lipless.
-
Name: 60% Aluminum Milled Case
Designer: Sentraq (Sentraq.com)
Colors: Silver, Black, Purple, Cyan
Quantity: Still Available (Unlimited?)
Mine just arrived earlier today; all together, not a bad case.

Perfect, ill just include it as part of the original case description and we can put pictures of both under it.

Are these exclusively tray mount cases?

Are these exclusively tray mount cases?
No this is for all 60% cases. So I can categorize them based on mount style. Like I tried to explain in the first reply, any suggestions are welcome.

This is all my knowledge summed up of the more custom side of the 60% form factor. By my definition, which is full aluminium/metal construction, all but the Weaven fit due to its carbon fibre plate.

Thank you very much xondat. For those listed as unknown, are they limited, still available, or discontinued?

Yes agreed, those are important. However, market price and seller aren't totally necessary if the case was a limited run (imo). Thanks for the pictures guys.

Great list blackriver.
If you can, you should definitely add info on the, "Non-Standard Keycaps" for each board. It really helps people who are looking for boards with standard ANSI/ISO layouts. Another thing that would be nice is including the stabilizer type (Eg: Costar, Wire, or Cherry).
This list has some other good 60% boards, as well as some 65%'ers too.

I appreciate the kind words, yeah this weekend I'm going to try and clean it up and add more. Thanks for the recommendations I'll jump on it soon.

Actually I just noticed this lol, I must have been really tired on my last post. This is a list of cases only, not boards. Do some 60% cases require different caps or were you just referring to boards?
