Can we have more profound side indents for the bottom piece? I'm typing on a TX84 right now and it is about 11lbs of glorious aluminum. I love the sturdiness and TX board has become my favorite; but the biggest downfall is it has no side grip whatsoever. It is a real hassle trying to pick it up and move around.
Re-positioning is no longer a simple gesture. You cannot just nudge it, the aluminum brick refuses to budge. Picking up is the only option and it becomes difficult when there is no side grip. This thing will come out about 12-13 lbs once built and having some sort of grip will help tremendously.

TX84 is 11lbs? How big is that brass weight? I don't like the look of a more indented board but if others are interested, I'll change it.
Im interested to hear what people's opinion are for a SS keyboard case.....SS is much more durable when compared to ALU and is also much heavier....but the issue is also how often do you expect to transport your keyboard ..... and how durable do you really need your keyboard to be? ALU definitely wins in weight but loses in durability - but i dont expect to be testing the durability of my keyboard case anytime in the near future. Am i missing anything?People like weight. TKL aren't that portable anyways. Now it's really not going anywhere. It's a niche thing. I don't expect many people to buy it.
This is kind of amazing. It's brutal, simple. Industrial. I dunno if I could spend on it, maybe in a couple months, but I'm defo hitting notify on this topic. is there gonna be some kind of logo or just straight up brushed finish stainless steel?Yeah sam I'm subbed to the topic and I'll keep an eye on it.

For now I am still deciding between brushed or polished. I will talk to the manufacturer to see if I can provide both and maybe unfinished for those who want a different finish or want to powder coat.
Will there be an option for case only for those of us that want alps?Likely no, but you can maybe find someone with a Mech27 or Jane CE who would want a stainless steel pcb. If there is enough interest from those buyers, I may open up the gb to just plates. In that case I would provide a case only option.
Just wondering, ever asked about brass? It might be cheaper to machine than steel.Smudges galore among other problems.
isn't brass more expensive as overall material?
