LF Aluminum TKL Suggestion?
« on: Tue, 29 March 2016, 19:47:49 »
Hi,

Right now I am in a search for a TKL keyboard with either a top or bottom case made out of aluminum.  The case can either come with the aluminum case now or  get an aluminum case that will fit later.  The keyboard has to have Cherry MX Browns and Cherry stabilizers. 

Thanks Inverse

Varmilo with the alu case from Massdrop.

You could build a Phantom and put into a Tex case, or Vortex case.

Keep in mind, my suggestions are all for retail boards and retail cases. There are plenty of customs that have what you are thinking, but I have a feeling your question is more geared toward the retail market.

Do you know if the Varmilo has a standard spacebar key?

Isn't a phantom in a tex case a little hard? You need spacers since the phantom plate doesn't have rolled edges?

Someone apparently went up to the great philosopher Wittgenstein and said "What a lot of morons people back in the Middle Ages must have been to have looked, every morning, at the dawn and to have thought what they were seeing was the Sun going around the Earth, when every school kid knows that the Earth goes around the Sun", to which Wittgenstein replied "Yeah, but I wonder what it would have looked like if the Sun had been going around the Earth?"

What I mean by this that I have right now a Corsair K70 and the spcaebar on this keyboard is an odd size.

The k70 has a 6.5u spacebar. It looks like the Varmilo board on massdrop right now has a 6.25u, which is one of the more common sizes.
