Hey,
Thought I'd share some pictures (and thoughts) about my recent change to my poker.
What my poker looked like a couple of days ago:

I bought a plated poker with ergo clears, and then also an alu pure case for it:

The plated board with ergo clears (in the stock case):

Whilst I love the look of it, I'm still not 100% sold on the ergo clears :/
My other poker has black switches, and so I think I might need to put heavier springs with the clear stems to get what I want. I just fancied a change, and thought something with a bit of tactile feedback/audible click would be nice, I tended to find browns not have enough feedback, and were a little too light for me, I would have gone for greens but I was offered the already plated board with ergo clears I couldn't really refuse.
Once I find out what screws I need I'll be putting my other poker together, just in the stock case, and I've got some spare brown switches, so I might have a go at switching springs/stems to see if I find a combo I really love. Obviously I've only had this board for a couple of days, and so I need to give it more time before I judge properly, the sound and feel of the board itself is lovely though, so weighty!
Feel free to ask any questions

Is there sure enough clearance to those fins in the pure case? They look like they could touch with a little flexing.
And the obvious question: where did you source the pure case?
Flushness so nice.

Well, nothing has broken so far so I assume so :pJmneuv wrote:Is there sure enough clearance to those fins in the pure case? They look like they could touch with a little flexing.

The fins seem to line up where no contacts are etc, so I don't think it would be a problem in any case.
I'm tempted to get a sheet of non conductive material, maybe rubber or something in there just in case, although not sure what that will do to the feel/acoustic of the case.
I got it from someone looking to sell on GH, I got very lucky actually, the day/day after I posted wanting one someone said they were thinking of selling.
Thanks
