Words cannot describe the feeling I got when I clicked that link. Thank you Kudos <3

That's amazing. Did you won a contest or something?

I asked half jokingly for a drawing and got a serious reply that if he had any spare time today he would make me a quick doodle :3 I wasn't expecting anything honestly! But it certainly feels like I won a contest.

I must say I was pretty pumped to get this package from Bro, audibly giddy even. I think the new designs and colorways from the Monster Mash sale were killer so I was extremely

happy to win several. On top of what would have been an amazing mail day already, Bro threw in 'something extra' and totally made my day week. I didn't think the

Bloodshot V2 (Booper's(thanks for the loan <3)) would ever leave the escape key of my IBM SSK, but this BS Grumpkin might have to hold the throne from now on. The Lycan also

matches my HHKB's theme perfectly, which is great because it is my daily driver. All of the keys are technically impeccable, the details are sharp and meaningful, and the colors are

vibrant and well chosen. I couldn't be happier or say enough nice. Everything looks even better in real life than the pictures can do justice.  :thumb:  :thumb:

More pics and some gifs to come in the future, just a little behind on life / job / upcoming move / etc.

LOL yeah it's Topre; just couldn't resist getting one before ending the year and whether it's a good idea or not, she indulged me. I like it though, it feels really nice and it makes me want to write like ten novels right now. Still wondering if I want to keep with the stock or mod it but I have all the time in the world to do that haha

Keep it stock--I wouldn't touch an FC660C unless it was getting the royal 55g treatment.

Oh ok! I'll keep that in mind. Even though it's topre, it has such a different feel and sound to the HHKB that a part of me wonders if they're even the same switch but I like it all the same.



Good choice. This is a fun board.  ;D

Thanks! I look forward to working with it especially over the upcoming winter break.

Aww bummer :/ hope that doesn't happen with my Bunny mail. A friend from Essex UK sent me some shoes before, USPS held it for a month or 2 & shipped it back to UK. This happened 3 more times until I gave them my sibling's address & I finally got the shoes :blank: hope you get that mail soon Ed!

I think that is a CNC acrylic case from a friend of LeandreN's known as Dulphin AFAIK. They look to be really high quality! When funds aren't so tight, I'll be looking for one. :) 
 
https://www.reddit.com/r/mechmarket/comments/3opcec/gb_dulphins_acrylic_cases_for_60_keyboards/

NOTE: I could be wrong as I didn't notice the screw mounts for the feet on Dulphin's, but they are VERY similar in my opinion.

Yep, I was wrong. It's the massdrop case. https://www.massdrop.com/buy/60-lipless-acrylic-case 
   
However, if you can, please do support Dulphin. His work is pretty sick.

What case is that? Could you post more pictures please?

I think that is a CNC acrylic case from a friend of LeandreN's known as Dulphin AFAIK. They look to be really high quality! When funds aren't so tight, I'll be looking for one. :)

NOTE: I could be wrong as I didn't notice the screw mounts for the feet on Dulphin's, but they are VERY similar in my opinion.

Yep, I was wrong. It's the massdrop case. https://www.massdrop.com/buy/60-lipless-acrylic-case 
   
However, if you can, please do support Dulphin. His work is pretty sick.

I actually got mine from Taobao, not Massdrop, along with some other parts I wanted to combine shipping. I'm not sure if Dulphin makes his own cases but it's a little strange that his case is a near carbon copy of this one. I went through his posts and he never actually said he's the one who produces them, just that he was making a group buy for those cases. The pictures from the listing I got mine from looks identical to his (same style of USB cutout, same feet installed), although the resolution is too low to see CNC lines. Mine does not have CNC lines and has the feet holes aside from a few very slightly different features.

Here's a pic from my listing to compare:


Not trying to start **** with dulphin or anything, just wanted to point out some things. It's a very nice case.

Oh ****, good observation, but it seems like the one you actually purchased looks more like the MassDrop one where the one from the TaoBao listing itself looks like Dulphin's. The thought of them not being produced directly by Dulphin did cross my mind. In any case, they do seem like great cases.

My main curiosity is if the supplier is one and the same between the MassDrop cases and the ones without the screw-mounted feet. The variation that ends up being similar to both of the aforementioned cases is just really weird to me.

I'm pretty sure the case ika got was the one Massdrop was trying to sell. The listing seems to use the exact same pics from Massdrop. Could be wrong, though.

UHhh... so this is embarassing. Turns out the one I actually got (proxied by romevi) is not the same as the listing I've been posting about in this thread. I guess there are simply two very slightly different acrylic case makers out of China. I had a bookmarked link to the one I've been posting about but forgot that I found a cheaper one, which I had proxied.

Soo basically you can probably ignore everything I've said, except that I'm still fairly certain that Dulphin's cases are sourced from China.

Makes all the sense. Thanks for the clarification. Yeah, I agree that Dulphin's cases are likely sourced from the same place, but the fact you imply that they were the more expensive option can vie a bit for their quality, which is good to hear!
