Fellow redditor keynoted shared a numpad case design matching his Phase One 65 and concealing a KBDPad Mk2 PCB.

Rather than buying a KBDPad Mk2 full kit, my friend and I realized we could buy 2 PCBs and plates for the same cost and 3d model/print our own cases. My daily driver is a Phase One 65, so I made a case to match – keynoted.

The files were printed separately for easier printing, and then superglued together.
