Winkeyless B.Face PCB Cases
« on: Fri, 16 October 2015, 16:15:37 »
Hey guys,

I searched winkeyless's forum and there was a post where Hojin said he "heard" people using Tex 60% cases with their PCBs. I assume he did not want to guarantee anything so I wanted to see if the community has any idea if the B.Face would work with a Tex Acrylic case or something like the one on MD (picture below).

Also, wanted to make sure that if the Tex/MD cases work, this plate would work as well.

I'm sure 99% that bface PCB can fit above case and plate.

It can, B.Face is a very standard 60% pcb.

Strongly consider ordering a case from TEX directly, with EMS from Taiwan, it arrives extremely fast

The plates are also sold by many online vendors instantly

Also the Sprit PCB is available from MK, but I'm guessing you want B.Face for it's bottom RGB leds, since you want an acrylic case

You are correct! I do want the B.Face for the RGB. I haven't ordered the case and plate yet. Thanks for the tip!

Also, the PCB fits but it's not guaranteed that the RGB strip will fit

I don't remember the details, but I guess the B.Face X2 had the strip soldered on, so it might fit, anyway, just one more thing to check for :)

(Someone else should clarify this, don't take my word for it, winkeyless replies to emails fast)

Edit: Another great idea is, if you haven't purchased anything yet, is to get everything from winkeyless, the case too, for the peace of mind

Yeah I kinda want to get a different case. Their case's feet design isn't something I am a fan of. Winkeyless won't guarantee anything in terms of fitment but said they have heard of people using their PCBs with tex cases.

How does one... order from TEX Taiwan directly?

Mail justin@tex-design.com.tw

They sell lipless ones directly, which is a huge plus (or minus)

FYI for those who may be interested, here is the response I got from Justin:

Quote
Hello Justin,

I was told to contact you about ordering the case in the subject of this email. They said I should order directly from you. I couldn't find any pictures of your lipless version. Could you send me what it looks like and the price shipped to postal code [removed], USA?

Thanks!
