TKL Cases
« on: Tue, 19 February 2013, 19:41:26 »
Hey, I want to grab one of these in Black with a white stripe:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Colorful-replace-case-Filco-and-PLU-Mechanical-Keyboard-4-colors-you-choose-/300726960317?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item4604b940bd

Anyone know any other vendors that sell them and may have the color I desire?

This one? http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=280

It's aluminum though. The other one is Acrylic I think. I am digging that white stripe also. Although, that baby blue one looks really nice to make a light colored theme board.

Then my black one can be my Topre when i get it. But now that you say the fit isn't good. Hmmmm

You don't have a choice, it's the Vortex or wait for LZ//Kmac// which is something like several months...

Yeah, I thought there was a dip in the lip, but realized its a groove. I like the design a lot because of this. I thought it overlapped for some reason. the pictures were deceiving.

I think I will pick it up next week.

What about a custom made Cheat? Someone was trying to sell a red one, but I'd like one with different colors.

What's the deal with those? Are they still being made or customized via a vendor from here?

I'm not so hot on used keyboards... the thought of someone else... "....." in front of their PC, and ".....", "....... , ......",

It really has to be "pretty special" for me to take a dive at used boards.

It's not the dirtiness of it, I don't care about germs, blood, human fluids,  it's the "thought" of the guy before me... doing "...."  .... Yea don't want that'



Same thing when a girl cheats on a guy... The girl is probably fine, and still very capable of continued performance, but the 'THOUGHT" of the girl and another dude breaking contracts....  :))

You don't seem to get it....

It's trying to "AVOID" thinking about it that gets you into trouble....

Think voluntarily may be more conducive to "overcoming" the blight...

However, due to the "nature" of this situation......   It's difficult....

for the 4th time now.. it doesn't NEED standoffs.. the way vortex mounts is way better by directly clamping the metal plate
