No review necessary.. @ $450... they're pretty much guaranteed to be awesome...

remember this is the year 2013,  Craftsman were able to make blocks of metal like this thousands of years ago..


Ontop of that, it's EBAY, so you satisfaction is guaranteed, or you can just do a credit card charge back..

[Yuuki]

thx for your answer !
can you make 1 for me that look like that ? less expensive of course if you can

Im from France so Im not sure what the shipping fee will be

[jakemfbacon]

i want those keycap colors,..................

[daerid]

They're the 10th Anniversary Edition keycaps.

From the picture the craftsmanship looks top notch.  Consider this is made from Korea so I'd assume it should have KMAC level of details.

So who's going to be the first one to make their $750 keyboard 

[daerid]

effff me man, those AE keys look great on that silver case... I might actually save up for this. Gotta get a new chair first tho

lollllll are you seriously considering it?  It's hard for me to justify the $450.  It's like I can buy another Topre and a Filco.

Or 7 QuickFire Rapids if you want to be really really ridiculous.

[daerid]

Dude, if I can spend $1000 on 3 Topre boards ALONE, what's $450 for a case?

If I start trying to justify all my keyboard/computer/music equipment purchases, I'd probably go into a depression and commit suicide. In the long run it's better for my sanity if I just leave them unjustified

[dirge]

**** that silver case

Haha I guess that's true.  Because mechanical keyboards are already not exactly best bang for the buck 

Oh and I like the dark grey case the best.

Wow, the dark one looks awesome!! I will start saving money for it.

Pink is for girls, and insecure men who'd do anything to stand out.

[nebo]

I just wish it were more common for keycaps to also have Hangul  on them.

[tp4tissue]

Man, this is approaching $1000 keyboard...

Not too many of these... LOL

Here is a review of the case in Korean. The person who wrote the review liked it.

Here is rough translation of the summary from the review:

Pros:
Very good finish and anodizing
Easy to assemble and disassemble
USB hub is a plus
Increased weight

Cons:
Expensive
Not cool looking
Slightly tight fitting screws

Could be cons or pros:
Keyboard height is increased on the front side.

Thx, I wish the reviewer put more pictures

[Kensy]

Very nice ! But first, have to get my hands on the keyboard first =x

[AKIMbO]

Realforce boards sit very low at the front (ie. near the spacebar).  I have to use rubber bumpers to raise mine up to an appropriate level for use with wrist rests.

[Shadovved]

I think we can have feng do one for a cheaper price 

[Saviant]

Chances are unlikely, as a lot of people where not happy with the 320 usd for the MKC filco case

Thanks for this. I was wondering how the case makes RF to detachable cable and usb hub.

What didn't they like about it.

[daerid]

The fact that it was $320 USD.

If the price could get down to around $200 I think a lot of people would jump on this.

I know I'd buy 2.
