Duude this is so sweet FC660C is an awesome layout and now it might just be my first topre…

Just sold my FC660c today to a lucky Canadian. I like the changes from the initial design height. :+1:

Totally down for this. Love the bezels!

Oh man. I actually just got in the all-steel sample like five minutes ago. It could easily double as a self-defense object.

Any thoughts or plans on doing an m version? It’s not that I don’t like topre, it’s just that I dislike tactile…

Roughly quoting @lekashman: “You could probably club a baby seal to death with that case”

I think I’m in. I just finished a micro atx and build and it needs something tiny to go with it! Love your work Mr. Norbauer!

What is the finish on Pic 2 & 3? (i’m assuming Pic 1 is raw aluminum)
thanks

I’ve always wanted an FC660C, but couldn’t justify it since I have a heavily modified HHKB already. But this would be a good reason to finally get one…

If it happens, I’d be in. I mean, I have one of the prototype Norbatouch cases, and am patiently awaiting a Norbaforce. Might as well collect the set!

I think KT deserves some new exclusive photos of the Heavy6. Who agrees with me?

I would like to say, that I need this more than my wife but my wife is expensive so please don’t make this more than the other cases, k thanks :slight_smile:

I’m hoping that Black Anodized option will also be on the table… (I don’t think any of the current considerations work particularly well with the Beige/Gray caps version)

You already know I’m in for this @norbauer, look forward to seeing final prototypes. I’d love to see a color that would better go with the upcoming 9009 topre pbt dye sub set from kbdfans

Hot damn. I’ve been kicking myself for missing out on the the Norbaforce and have also been considering getting a FC660C after coming to Topre JESUS via my hhkb. I really hope this is a fall-ish GB so I can sell my other incoming GB keebs. Topre-bless.

The finish is so beautiful. Can’t we to see how this turns out.

Heck Yeah man this is sick I’d love to have the case since I already have the 660c and its my daily!!!

21

More than anything I want to hear a sample of the case acoustics.

I noticed that you omitted the black hard anodized option from the list of finishes this time. Does that mean you won’t be offering a hard anodized option? I was really looking forward to a hard anodized case.

Second that.
