Krisenplan aka errr000r shared a 3D-printed case for the QAZ – with a pen holder.

inQAZtro case with QAZ-PCB (integrated version) and KAT Napoleonic – errr000r.

This is a remix from the inQEZtro, which is also a remix from the QEZ by elmo – a seamless, gasketmounted QAZ-like 40% keyboard.

The name is derived by the Italian word “inchiostro” which means ink.

There are four different top layouts: normal, HHKB, HHKB 2u and WKL. And there are three different bottoms: inQAZtro with rubber buffer, without rubber buffer and clean.

As of the author's note: only the integrated version will fit.
