Does the sound bar sit on top of the lightkey now? How does it feel ergonomic wise? ---

Yes, that’s correct, it was a narrow fit but now it seems like it was designed to fit at one point. ^^ I have to admit, I haven’t used the lightbar too much yet, but while it feels a little fiddly, I was able to play MegaMan Legends on the PSX emulator just fine. ---

Did your case close all the way? I went ahead and 3d printed the part and mine doesn’t close all the way. Thinking of integrating a latch on the bottom to fix this. ---

Yes, it closes completely, but at the bottom it doesn’t align perfectly with the front (the back shell had to bend slightly). I didn’t change any of the dimensions, so it’s probably something your 3D printer caused. ---

Thanks to the 3D file. I printed a semi-transparent photosensitive resin material. It cost me about 19€, and if I paint it, I need to spend 38€ more, so I didn’t paint. Fortunately, it looks good. ![0830_2](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/clockworkpi/original/2X/1/1cf408270fb625b6e1d1e8467ae3d3a6d286c141.jpeg) ---

That looks very nice and a nice price! Did you order it somewhere to get it printed? ---

The 3D printing service provider also supports painting services, but the price is beyond my expectations. I bought this gameshell for a total of 98€. ---

It’s great to see that it works for others as well. 🙂 ---

Is it convenient to have the keys in the bottom of the case? Is it easy to press them while playing? Looks neat nevertheless ---

It takes a little getting used to and also depends on how you hold the GS. It works nicely for stuff like rotating cameras and minor functions. ---

Great job the one you are doing! Even though it seems incredible that there is none of this officially. Why do we want a laptop by modules, if we don’t have any option to create a laptop to our liking?
