Varmilo/Poker (Low profile) style case for TKL PCB's
« on: Fri, 17 March 2017, 07:03:31 »
Hello,
So I have been looking for cases that aren't sandwich style, which are very popular among floating key look and TKL size factor. But I just sort of dislike the look and want more of that regular keyboard case look.

For example Varmilo 87 case looks really nice. But I can't really find anything on the interwebs that isn't aluminum or in general looks like that and is in tkl form factor.

Also PCB in question would be GON TKL with the top side usb connector (as claimed to have better compatability with 3rd party cases).

You're going to have a hard time finding what you're looking for mainly because the spacing on the Gon TKL pcb is different quickfire rapids and filcos, and I assume Varmilo cases are the same. The gon pcb is based on the a.87 pcb where the space between the F-row and the number row is a lot smaller. All Korean customs use that spacing and are designed around those pcbs and outside of them I can't think of any case that is compatible.

Good luck with your search, maybe check out taobao and something might peak your interest.

GON TKL PCB will be hard to get and probably has less compatibility with phantom-style cases than a filco or something

if you have a PCB already, good, but you might want to look into a phantom instead

don't know of any low-pro TKL cases offhand, tray cases like that aren't really popular for TKLs
