I'm looking into a 660C and I'm aware that the 660C has a metal backplate, unlike the HHKB which is case mounted.
Does anyone have any experience with their 660C steel backplate corroding and starting to rust?
I've heard a 2 or 3 people complain about that, what is that all about?
Cheers :thumb:

I would wager one of two things, either the environment people having this type of issue are in is corrosive, i.e. near the ocean etc, and/or they are slobs.

How is the 660C any different than any other keyboard with a steel backplate?

My exact thoughts! The Ducky boards at home have been doing just fine, no rust what so ever.
Someone from Reddit mentioned: "The plate was made from a non-corrosion resistant alloy of steel with a thin coat of paint on top"
I'm sure most boards aren't either and he added: "any bare metal that's exposed to the air will rust especially at the mounting holes and any scratches through the paint."
It probably depends on your local climate. I have two and haven't had any rust (I live in the Pacific Northwest).
