Yup. It looks like I'm out of luck, but if anyone has any other options please let me know

Damn....

You're probably right. It's described as a "metal design". Never says it's a full Metal body.

I am not sure that I've ever seen a community-made 104/105/108-key metal chassis. There's the WiNDy ALFEEL commercially-made alu case on (allegedly) a Filco full-size keyboard, but Google suggests that they're no longer sold.

Everyone who makes alu chassis always go for TKL or compact, sadly ...

Has anyone seen a metal case for a FILCO MJ2 104? I know vortex sells one for the TKL, but I've never seen one for a full layout

That has been done. I think Ripster melted ingots of lead to fit inside his Filco, or was it another keyboard? It was three years ago.

That's awesome!

Looks good but it looks like it's going to be really hard to get one. Or very expensive

Metal case, plate-mounted Cherry-switches ....

WOW... that sure looks heavy duty and outrageously expensive

Yes

Definitely a Topre 104ub. It's the only "mainstream" switch I haven't tried.

I want to struggle to pick it up

So I'm looking for the absolute strongest and best built mechanical keyboard ever made. The heavier the better. I already own a Filco MJ2 104, but want something even more durable
