Keyboard cases
At MaxGaming we have a great selection of keyboard cases. Building your own, personalised keyboard, also known as a "custom keyboard", has exploded in popularity. It's a world where enthusiasts and connoisseurs come together to create the ultimate typing experience. An important part of this construction, apart from keys and switches, is the choice of a keyboard case. A keyboard case forms the basis for the entire construction. It is the frame itself that holds all the components together and gives the keyboard its stability and aesthetics. The choice of materials for a case can vary greatly, from thin plastic (ABS, Polycarbonate) to elegant aluminium, wood or even brass. Each material has its own characteristics that affect the feel and sound of the keyboard.
Different types of mounting, such as tray mount, top mount and gasket mount, offer different levels of flexibility and affect how vibration and sound propagate through the case. "Tray mount is a classic method of screwing the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) into the case from the bottom, while top mount secures the PCB from the top. The "gasket mount", on the other hand, uses rubber gaskets or other cushioning materials to create a more flexible and cushioned enclosure. The size of a keyboard case is another important factor to consider. "Full size" keyboards have all the keys you can imagine, while "tenkeyless" (TKL) removes the numeric keypad for a more compact design. For minimalists, there are "60%" keyboards that scale everything down to the bare essentials.
Aside from functionality, aesthetics play a big role in the choice of keyboard case. Colours, finishes and design accents can be customised to match your personal style and create a unique look. Some cases even feature RGB lighting to add an extra touch of personality. Choosing the right keyboard case is crucial to creating the perfect custom keyboard. It's an investment in both functionality and aesthetics, and there's a wide range of options to cater to every need and preference. Whether you're looking for a minimalist design, maximum functionality or a unique aesthetic, there's a keyboard case out there waiting to become part of your dream keyboard.
