We are negotiating with CNC factory now.
The quotation they gave is around $110 now.
We hope at least under $100, $90 will be our goal.

Color selection is one of the major answer we want to get in this IC.
We have several color reference in the ic form pic.
If you have any other idea about coloring.
Please tell us, I'll try if I can get some sample plate.

Was just contemplating paying resale for a TEX case for my new Filco, this came right on time!

Cyllinus · « **Reply #11 on:** Thu, 01 June 2017, 20:30:24 »

Is there any chance for a case without LED holes? I'd love to use the case with my CM QFR.

Hi,
I think it is not able to get MoQ.
So we will only make one model now.

I guess somebody is running a CM case recently!?
I can't find it but seems I did see it last month.

sennin32 · « **Reply #13 on:** Fri, 02 June 2017, 13:32:39 »

We get the final price range today.
If we reach MoQ, it will around $100+-5 maybe.
I think weight include packaging is 1~2 KG.
Shipping for most countries is between $20~30.

Puddsy · « **Reply #14 on:** Fri, 02 June 2017, 14:47:35 »

I'd buy one.

+1 For both.

sennin32 · « **Reply #18 on:** Sun, 04 June 2017, 04:06:04 »

The bottom is a thin plate cover the whole case.
With laser engrave logo.
Mount by screw with main body.
I'll take some pics later.

Hi,
MoQ is 50 pcs.
I guess we might start in 2 weeks if we can get around 30 commits.
We'll cover the rest.

We're communicating about processing time, packaging and modify details now.

I know the Phantom PCB was designed to fit inside a Filco Majestouch case. Do you know if the Phantom PCB and Plate would fit inside your case?

Interested in knowing this too! Would have preferred it without the LED holes.

Not sure if I will join, it's at a bit of a bad time for me, so hope there may be another round in the future.

I'm not sure, I don't own a Phantom PCB.
But even the screw holes fit.
The controller of Phantom PCB is using micro usb.
Different from Filco, so the separable module we offer won't fit, have to modify by users.

I guess the chance will be low @@
I didn't except a high quantity even in first round XD

Would love to get one to fit the QFR as others have said the case you talk of was a novatouch or master keys case I believe, might still pick one of these up and mod my QFR plate to fit since it's not far off the filco plate to start with anyway

tikhonovdanya · « **Reply #26 on:** Wed, 07 June 2017, 08:47:12 »

It's just the same case as on ebay/aliexpress?

Any idea if this will fit a KBP V80? I'd had my eye on a tex case, but the color I want hasn't been in stock for a long while, and it costs more than this.

We don't have these keyboard for testing as we mentioned in earlier comment

Unless somebody in Taiwan can borrow me one to try, or I don't think we can confirm it.

Will this be high profile enough so that the lower edge of installed keycaps are buried inside the case?

The holes on the bottom worry me, they look as if they are concave around the screw countersink hole. Hopefully the usb hole will be fixed on these?

Sempre · « **Reply #33 on:** Fri, 09 June 2017, 21:15:48 »

I know this is designed for filco but can I theoretically use this with the GON nerd PCB?

Are the screw holes' positions similar to the filco ones?

No it's not compatible. USB port is in a different location

Second sample : http://imgur.com/a/wlnSz
The usb hole is smaller and most cable will cover the gap.
But we still want it fit better, so we're doing some more modify now.

Sample is not anodized.

sennin32 · « **Reply #41 on:** Thu, 29 June 2017, 20:17:24 »

For now.
Gray is the most popular option.
Then, black and silver.
But all these are grayish color.

We might consider gray, black and deep blue as the final options.

Very happy to be ordering this from DoYu Studio, I was very pleased with your switch group buy and as a matter of fact I’m using the MX Speed Silver switches I got from y’all in my Filco right now.

pixelpusher · « **Reply #48 on:** Tue, 04 July 2017, 10:35:39 »

Can you show us a sample of the "deep blue" color?

I'm guessing it is royal blue, but "deep blue" in the US could also mean navy blue.

wholypantalones · « **Reply #49 on:** Tue, 04 July 2017, 10:47:09 »

Still unsure on this one based on the photos. I'd like to see what the bottom plate looks like in more detail since it's described as a thin piece of metal, some colors and maybe some anodizing samples if possible.
