HHKB Style 60% Case
Update: Way too long later, are there 6u HHKB style options?
Basically, there have been a lot of other MX HHKB options that have come out lately, but Ideus posted recently saying there aren’t as many 6u variants. I’ve been out of the keyboard case game, starting college, and I am wondering if there is interest in 6u or 7u versions of MX HHKB/WKL 60% cases.

New and super overdue update!
I’ve been in contact with Massdrop, and the group buy will probably go throught them. So the quantity caps I was talking about probably won’t exist, and it should be a higher quality project than a high schooler can machine. I’ll try to post before it goes up, so you all can hop on the drop. Thank you all so much for supporting the idea through this long process!
Update that should have happened to the OP a long time ago:
At this point, the prototype is pretty much done, and I’m gearing up for a GB. The case has evolved to be either HHKB or Winkeyless 60% style, with either an acrylic or aluminum bottom plate.
Several different powder coating colors are in the mail for testing, and I’ll post an update with those different colors. Right now, it’s looking like some red, black, purple, green, orange, blue, and white colors will be options.
One of my big goals with this is to run the production myself, both because I want the experience of working with a machine, and it lets me control the costs more and keep it cheap. But because of my limited access to machines and their small power, I’m going to be putting a limit on the GB so I don’t over promise. More on that later.
The keys all actuate, and the case uses the standard hole pattern of a Poker. PCB’s are available from several locations. A plate with either a universal switch mounting pattern or HHKB or winkeyless specific will work.
Old OP
A Prototype of the case, with some feeback from this redddit thread https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/40w0uk/interest_check_hhkb_style_60_case/. The goal is to provide a case with similar “lips” to the HHKB. These cases are designed to have support for standard Poker mounting holes and PCB’s, with special compability for the HHKB key cap layout.
The original prototype album is here http://imgur.com/a/s4LKN. A few changes were made, specifically to make the case more square. All the colorizations are for ease of part differentiation, and are should be customizable on the final product. The bottom will either be a sheet of aluminum or acrylic, depending on the desire for case lighting.

This is a relavitly new idea, I got it while talking to dignityhole on reddit. He suggested a case that had the lips and aesthetics of the HHKB, and I thought it would be fun to design it. I popped it up on reddit, and was recommended to come here. Thoughts?
