Dear Sir,

Done it.....I couldn't miss out on this baby. The housing looks so suicidal. I will try and mangle a KBT Pure keyboard into it. If it fails then I will buy a Poker.

I forgot to provide a link to the keyboard I bought from Qtan earlier;

Due to my complete stupidity in choosing the right keyboard for this housing, PLEASE say I made the right choice?

Orders are closed. Payment will be sent this week!

The Pure should fit in there with no problems. From what I've read from others, the dimensions are the same and it has the same mounting holes as the Poker. The only differences are that it has an additional hole near the middle of the board to help secure the board further and it has LEDs. The layout of the secondary layer for the keys seems to be a little different as well, but the physical layout appears to be identical.

Hope you made the cut-off. If not, maybe you can trade your first-born child for one.

Same here, I had just enough time from work to send the email. But now have to wait to see if I made it. The housing is unique and looks better made than most available on sale.

I'm just sorry in not emailing my order sooner.

Paid up and super excited! I've heard through the grapevine that this case weighs in at 4 lbs!!!

That's the exact same model I bought from him as well. I hate back-lits hence the chance of finding one without, in MX Blues was indeed rare. Plus Qtan provides a new key-set of PBT's which look great.

Are they white on black or black on white PBTs? Any idea where you can find PBT's for the pure other than that? Because p.s. told me his wouldn't work with the Pure.

They're White on Black and all fit perfectly with the Pure easily. Besides they have that little stylized "Acorn" emblem that signifies KBT-Talking keyboard. Hence these were made for the KBT Pure only.

I don't know where you got that info regarding the extra PBT set NOT fitting the Pure.........

SPooNiTe · 05 Aug 2012, 04:21

I'd like some Black on White PBT for Pure

that's the one thing that's got me holding out in hopes I can find a Poker and buy some of p.s.'s PBT sets.

Can you just tell me, are the letters on the PBT set centered on the key, in the top right, or what?

All the main letters are Centered while the Esc, Caps Lock, Shift, Ctrl, Alt are lower left while the Backspace, Right Shift are lower Right positioned. Plus don't forget the side printed caps which are quite a lot. Meaning these caps are well and truly designed for these keyboards giving you the full enchilada of control.

Now I'm really tempted... but 130 is too much.

Will there be any more? kinda bummed I missed out.

sherryton · 10 Aug 2012, 00:59

Yeah, there is opportunity to get more, but the price won't be the same.

shambols · 10 Aug 2012, 02:38

Damn, just bought a pure last night.

How long til the group buys start for pure cases?

Aleksander · 06 Sep 2012, 11:49

Is it only me that can't stand the wait?!? I'm really looking forward to get this case in my hands and just spend hours touching and feeling every possible square mm of it.....

longweight · 06 Sep 2012, 19:04

It is god damn sexy! People need to start making HHKB cases!

Aleksander · 06 Sep 2012, 23:32

The thought of it makes me drool

Elrick · 07 Sep 2012, 08:07

I'm getting all warm and moist thinking about it......

Trent · 08 Sep 2012, 21:45

I'm waiting to see if a deal to purchase a poker goes through. If so I'll be interested in obtaining one!

Edit: I need to learn to check dates....

sherryton · 13 Sep 2012, 05:28

This should be here soon!

gimpster · 13 Sep 2012, 06:25

Like...earlier than expected?

Aleksander · 13 Sep 2012, 13:55

I might have....earlier than expected.

sherryton · 15 Sep 2012, 02:37

Not earlier than expected. The approximation date was mid to late September. So everything is still on time so far.

Fantastic.....always good news to hear when everything is going to plan. Nice one.

BossBorot · 01 Oct 2012, 18:45

any updates?

sherryton · 02 Oct 2012, 01:57

Sorry about the delays. The organizer went on vacation. Poker aluminum cases are getting delayed a bit. The KMAC Mini has been done already though.

Just as long as the Organizer doesn't say, wait till August 2013.
