60% Keyboard Case List
« on: Mon, 17 October 2016, 19:08:18 »
     I would like to gather a list of all the standard aftermarket 60% keyboard cases. This list will include very limited runs as well as commercially available cases. Your input will help to fill in this list so please comment below! I would like to have some 'Unique' photos not just a copy paste from google, so please post up pictures of your board if you would like them to be included.

Needed information:
  - What is the case called?
  - What are the variants of the case?
  - Who makes this case?
  - What Year was it made?
  - What mount style is it?
  - What color variations does it have?
  - How many were made?
  - Market price if still avail.
  - Seller if still avail.

Please note: If the case has a very large production run I will classify it as 'Unlimited' this does not mean that they will continue to make it for the rest of eternity.

So I didn't want to mention this in the OP, so here it goes. I was wondering what you guys personally think should be added/removed/changed. Should I include: Original Price and/or Links to buying options. I can also include current sales of the limited cases that may be on the Classifieds page or on r/MechMarket. Also as you can see I mostly just included commercially available cases, I know of several others but I would like more information on them before I post a description.

Others:
-Duck Poker
-Hammer Case
-FMJ Case (Looks like Duck Poker) I know very little about this one

No this is for all 60% cases. So I can categorize them based on mount style. Like I tried to explain in the first reply, any suggestions are welcome.

This is all my knowledge summed up of the more custom side of the 60% form factor. By my definition, which is full aluminium/metal construction, all but the Weaven fit due to its carbon fibre plate.

Yes agreed, those are important. However, market price and seller aren't totally necessary if the case was a limited run (imo). Thanks for the pictures guys.

Great list blackriver.

If you can, you should definitely add info on the, "Non-Standard Keycaps" for each board. It really helps people who are looking for boards with standard ANSI/ISO layouts. Another thing that would be nice is including the stabilizer type (Eg: Costar, Wire, or Cherry).

This list has some other good 60% boards, as well as some 65%'ers too.

Actually I just noticed this lol, I must have been really tired on my last post. This is a list of cases only, not boards. Do some 60% cases require different caps or were you just referring to boards?
