Aluminium Case For HHKB?

[Hyde]

I've been hanging out at the group buy forum quite a lot lately, and seems like aluminium custom case is the new trend these days.

Poker $99 / Pure $99 / Race $129 Custom Aluminium Case:

Filco $325 Custom Aluminium Case:

So I wonder when they'll make aluminium case for HHKB?  I can see a lot of people will buy it if the price is right.  Though at the same time you just might have the most expensive keyboard ever.

Let's just assume it's $200 (Mid point between the two choices listed above).  You're looking at HHKB $300 + casing $200 + custom color keycaps $100 = $600.

I list the keycaps because if you're gone that far you probably won't use stock keycaps.

Personally I don't own an HHKB but I figure it's fun to think about also this theory doesn't look too far fetched

There was talk at one time, but due to the complexity of the hhkb case the price was going to be >$400. Even at that price point people were still interested but nothing came of it. I was one of the people interested and I still am.

Ahhhhh I guess they didn't want to risk making it and people not end up buying it.  $400 is a lot of money >___>

That's too bad, it would still be significantly cheaper than the 10th anniversary models, and they were released before the Type-S, which would actually make one of these better.

I'd certainly get involved if this came about!
