Gotta still do something about that space bar and FN modifier until you get your white caps.

Always keep a sharp ass knife in your bag:

lol did you just do that right now with the knife or is that photoshoped? Still forgot those two modifiers.

doesnt it lose stability due to removing the front bezel?

Ditch the second half of the case too, and stick some rubber feet on the bottom.

It's pretty comfy. I ended up chopping it down to fit TKL.

Would it be more of a dust magnet this way, or just easier to clean?

Yes, but then I screwed it in place with a rack screw.

Nah, I just like the look.

This would look 100x better if you got a very thin piece of black brushed aluminum cutout and placed on top to hide the pcb, etc.

Win keys stripped.

Yeah that PCB looks off.

lolkeyboards · « **Reply #18 on:** Thu, 01 November 2012, 17:36:48 »

Something similar to the low profile K60 top plate design would look amazing. Surprised no one has mocked something up like this and made a group buy.

That is what it is without the bezel, just black. I could pull off the bottom as well, but then I would have to get the USB jack fitted somewhere.

I just want to hide that green PCB with something flat black.

Could you spray paint it? I know it pulls right off. I'm not sure if spray paint would be bad for the PCB, but my guess is that any non-corrosive paint is fine.

Haha, this project is like a huge middle finger to CM.

rowdy · « **Reply #22 on:** Fri, 02 November 2012, 00:23:38 »

Except they have already removed the branding from their keyboards, and probably just clearing the last stock with branding.

Yep, which is a great move by them!

That should do it. I just need to use a non-conducting type, like a rubberized paint.

And I bought mine months back, so that does not apply to me does it?

Buying another when this one works fine is not an option, besides it looks better without the bezel, branding or not. Kinda like an iMac, looks better without the stupid cover and lame Apple logo on the front:

Sifo · « **Reply #27 on:** Fri, 02 November 2012, 14:19:52 »

Hmm... I remember someone on here made a wooden case for their Filco and made a friction cap for the controller.

Looks badass. Might try to make one and just take the bezel off of my QFR. If it looks good, maybe even on my Filco.

They look sweet with no casing.

Also, this QFR sounds better without that bezel.
