Biggest difference is in the design aesthetic so I would say it’s going to be down to personal preference. But aside from that, I think the heavy grail feels a bit more refined in terms of its fit & finish compared to the S60 HG. For example, the anodization on the Aerospace heavy grail feels softer and more consistent than the Alu top on the S60 HG. Same with the mirror finish. On the S60 HG mirror pieces, if you look close theres some rippling and the mirror surface looks slightly speckled, whereas the mirror finish on norbauer veracity steel is comparatively smoother, which makes it feel more like a “premium” package to me.
How do you think this case compares with the Norbauer case? I understand the Norbauer has a bit more of a streamlined build process, but the final products?
For my build I just put o-rings between the plate and the case, so if you imagine the contact points, they go: Case -> O-ring -> Plate -> Screw. Honestly the case and plate are so heavy that I don't think o-rings make much of a difference. You could also sandwich the plate with o-rings and do a more traditional burger mount, but I think that would need longer screws.
you have such high quality content, especially for hhkb stuff. How does this compair to the heavy grail?

Sick, is there space for a battery to enable the Bluetooth on the ydkb controller?
There is space yep! But the bluetooth signal is weak because the plate and case are all metal.
How did you do the oring mod for the case?
