Reply to comment by Mrfuzon in Norbauer Heavy-6 by nikostephen

Sadly, they're currently available on the after market. Though I'm not certain, Norbauer doesn't seem like he'll be releasing anymore. There are other alternatives, however, like a Noxary case, or a Sho60 / Sho66. I'm hoping more aftermarket cases get developed in the future for Topre boards.

I've had many, most are sold off now. Here's what I have / had:

  1. Tofu 60 (First board)
  2. Bakeneko 65 (Upgrade from the Tofu, now given to my brother)
  3. Gentleman 65 (Sold)
  4. Rama U-80A + Kara (Sold -- I didn't love these)
  5. ai03 Vega (Sold today, I loved this board, so so much. But I couldn't reason keeping it, as I wanted to get a Venn by Gok.)
  6. In group buy limbo / waiting period for: Monokei Standard, XOX70, Hibiki 65, January

Keyboards have been a fun hobby, though sometimes I fall victim to thinking that there is a next best thing, or quickly feeling dissatisfied. MX Boards are so fun for their customizability; though the same can be said for the Topre space, its simplicity is what intrigues me most. Gives me less to stress over, lol.
