Title: Keyboard Case Recommendations?
Post by: jaymar on Fri, 08 February 2019, 13:00:33

Wondering what you use to transport / protect your keyboard...

What size of keyboard are you looking to protect?  Are you thinking a hard case for maximum protection or a soft one?

I picked up a Grifiti Chiton Fat 12 neoprene case off Amazon a while back.  Fits my 65% keyboard quite well.  I don't move mine around too much, but it works for me.

Thanks ddot, good to be here. Looking for more protection than a sleeve like that (I didn't know keyboard sleeves were a thing), but less than Pelican-level protection. Soft case with a carry handle. I'm running a Kinesis Advantage, so fairly small.

I can't say for sure, but I think it would.  The Vortex Race 3 (https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=3917)  is listed at 4.73".  I've been using it with my Whitefox,  it's about 4.3" wide and there's at least 0.5" of extra space inside the case.  The neoprene is a little springy too.  Plus the keyboard that Grifiti is showing on their website with the Fat 12 looks to be about the same size as the Race 3.  I'm sure you'll be fine.

I love my Modern Coup case, definitely not cheap but a worthwhile investment if you often travel with your board.

I recommend checking out Pelican laptop cases, they will have room for a few extra accessories. They are a bit pricey though.
