DuckiiunderscoreIf you're planning on installing this on an existing pok3r, keep in mind that it will require de-soldering every MX switch on the board (61 keys), and then soldering them all back in once you've swapped the plates.
If you're doing a scratch-build with this plate an an off-brand pok3r-compatible case, then you're good to go.

flyinglotus1983That's the plan, just gotta find a purple or blue case now to go with the deep space set.

DuckiiunderscoreI'm not a fan of plastic cases, but you can find them all over eBay for under $10:

Oh, and I've had the Deep Space set a year so so back before I sold it. I think with a purple case and one of these plates, it would be thematically solid, no doubt.

DuckiiunderscoreWell you can always get the plastic one for now, and upgrade when they come along! I'm doing basically that. I've got an eBay plastic one for now, a CNC one pre-ordered, and now I'm trying to talk myself out of the $200 datamancer wood case with the leather straps that's on MD right now.
What's cool about the pok3r / GH60 platform is that it's extensible. Sort of the Honda Civic of keyboards. Lots of mix and match parts.

flyinglotus1983I am also trying to talk myself out of that case, 1976 on wood looks so good.

DuckiiunderscoreBe careful though, if you do go that route. I've confirmed that the SA keycaps are too tall for the wooden cover to be placed on it. The cutout is not deep enough. I actually cancelled the drop when I found that out. I was going to rock with with PuLSE. Although I'm still pondering if I could 3D print a spacer to make it fit. But that would mean the leather straps would no longer fit.
That's a lot of money for something that doesn't support SA keycaps.
