Le Chiffre + Aluminum Case and PCB
Additional case color photos are here.
Welcome to the group buy extras for Le Chiffre Plus. The long awaited premium aluminum case is finally here. The Le Chiffre, designed by tominabox1 and graciously open sourced is a keyboard meant to use as little keys as possible while still keeping a practical amount of functionality for those ready to flex their QMK skills.
To keep the options simple for our first machined aluminum case group buy, we are keeping the options much simpler than our typical offerings. The case is only available in a few anodization colors, and is only available with the rotary encoder and light pipe indicator layout as shown in the product pictures. For more information of what is included with this group buy, please see the product details below.
There are in-house Cerakote add-on options available for an additional cost. Cerakote add-on page is available here.
This case is compatible with the original 3dp case switch plates. If you need a PCB or Switch Plate you must select it in the drop down when configuring the case.

- Assembled PCB (if added) (only switches need to be soldered)

Cerakote Quality Standards and Expectations: Cerakote is a ceramic coating, and has a very unique texture (like a ceramic). We do all the Cerakote in house, and as much as we would love for every board to be perfect, no kit can be 100% flawless due to coating process.
There may be small grains under the surface of the cerakote and the internal surfaces may be more coarse than external surfaces.
