Aftermarket cases for CODE 87-key/WASD v2?
« on: Sat, 28 November 2015, 19:46:30 »
I've been scouring the Internet for an aftermarket case for my CODE 87, which has an identical PCB to the WASD v2, and I've been told cases designed for similar Filco boards will also fit. The trouble is the MK.com cases seem to be eternally out of stock, an email with the Winkeyless guy confirmed his cases won't fit my PCB, the group buy for litster's acrylic case is long-over -- my options seem to be extremely limited. The most promising thing I've found is MOZ's open-source TKL case project, but even then, I'm not entirely sure if it'll work for me and I don't want to drop money on lasercutting services without confirmation.

Have any other CODE or WASD v2 owners had success finding cases? If so, please share.

Trying to find aluminum TKL cases will lead to heartbreak. There are dozens of options for 60% but TKL is next to impossible currently.

Unless you want to fork out money for just a case from a Kustom Group Buy, or someone like GON, you might be searching for a while.

Can we get them to build the Alps ten feet higher and get Cherry to pay for it?

I was worried that was the case, pardon the pun. Why the shortage? I would assume they'd be fairly high-demand items.

Internally they're the same as Filco and QFR so all cases dedicated to those keyboards should fit just fine :)

I believe TEX still sells cases directly, although I've only heard of people purchasing 60% cases this way. Try emailing justin@tex-design.com.tw and inquire about purchasing a TKL case directly. It probably won't be cheap, but it may be your only recourse.
