DIY Lego Poker 2 Case (K70 style)
« on: Sat, 01 February 2014, 16:01:16 »
So if you are like me and you don't have money but you have a lot of legos, you can make one of these. :)
 
 
 
 
Hope the images work if not here: http://slokoki.imgur.com/all/
If anybody does this and hopefully can make it better looking than me, please post below pictures or just tell me! :D
It doesn't look that cool, but I like the K70 style where you can see the switches.  :thumb:

Some other threads with some info on these cases, there may be more around as well.

I am hoping to one day attempt a TKL case out of Lego, although since I sold my phantom kit, I do not know when I will get around to it.

How's the wiggle room? Do you find that the pcb moves around a lot inside of the case?

Mine was a little loose, used a piece of folded paper to make it glove fit. I never did get around to securing the pcb to the bottom either, but I had a plan to glue the pieces that connect to others onto the pcb(the circle ones that plug in and can rotate).

Any idea when they are coming out with the final revision? I know there's a bunch of Rev Bs on Taobao but I've never actually ordered from there before.
