I two would be down for a metal case, even it it is just a replacement case for the Shinobi.
I agree, that they sub 1u keys make it a pain, to play around with aftermarket key cap sets, but I love the way it looks.
It would be awesome to have the a custom set of cherry key caps, that would fit the sub 1u keys or a set of key caps, that more so resemble the keys on the SK-8855, to further pay homage to the inspired design.
