what was the price of the carbon h6?
It was 1800 USD
Do all of the periwinkle keyboards come with the same color bottom plate? If so, what color was used for these?

More items coming soon, likely tomorrow. We have been deep in QC on polycarb housings and hope to drop those soon, among more rare/random one-offs and such.
I believe that they all use white texture rear covers.

OK, just managed to drop a few more things, this time at an Asia-friendly time slot. More to come. We’ve set aside Sunday to further deep excavations.

Hoping there’s a hidden cache of Heavy-9s somewhere. I managed to pick up an fc980c the other day and wouldn’t mind a housing upgrade

Do you know if there are any spare norbaforce data pads?

Here is how my F stock Heavy 9 turned out. After powder coating this case myself, I appreciate the quality standards Ryan had for the cases and I bet they were a pain to perfect.

Whoa, nice work! Did you do it on your own or at a local shop? Thinking of doing the same for my F-stock Norbaforce to match my Periwinkle HG.
EDIT: damn, my keebtalk on my phone really doesn’t like replying to posts
You’re the talk of our little topre discord right now. Well done on the coating, you’ve got users feeling envious.

Had a local shop do it for me. Did some quote shopping and it was the cheapest ($100) and nearest one to me that did chemical stripping. I would definitely communicate with the shop owner on how you want it done right so specially the back of the case so its flush with the backplate. There is a dent on the bottom left on the case but its not super noticeable and wasn’t bad for the price I paid.

Speaking of powder coating, can anyone else with an Aperture case attest to whether theirs resembles the Heavy-9 in this picture?
On top is my Heavy Grail.
On the bottom is the H9 I picked up during the Norbazaar.
It’s not bad and I understand that every batch will be a tad different, but admittedly I wasn’t expecting the finish to deviate this much.
From memory I believe my Heavy 9 Aperture resembled that pattern if that is what you are referring to.

Each batch is indeed a little different. The textures rely on chemicals inside the powder to flash off at different rates, which is a fairly stochastic process. I was told by one shop that it can even vary within a single batch depending on where the part is relative to temperature gradients in the oven.
