The IMK Corne is a premium case designed to upgrade, protect and accentuate the beautiful outline of one of Japan's most celebrated custom split keyboard: the Corne "Helidox" by foostan.
Unibody Design
The plate and protective side walls are machined from a single block of aircraft grade aluminum. Giving you a case that is both light enough for travel and strong enough to prevent flex.
Open Bottom
The case features an open bottom design closed using the Corne's acrylic bottom plate. Allowing the under-glow LEDs to shine through while also giving you a window to inspect the beautiful PCB and components inside.
Flexible Tenting (Optional)
The tenting holes has been carefully placed to allow the case to lay flat for travel when the tenting legs are removed.
There are four M3 sized tenting holes that you can use to adjust both the tent and tilt of each side of the keyboard to your liking.
You can use the black tenting legs that comes with the IMK Corne, or simply replace or join your choice of readily available M3 standoffs and screws for unlimited angles and style.

- 1 Due to the nature of anodization, we cannot guarantee exact match to Pantone colors. Custom colors will be matched on a best effort basis. That said, the workshop we work with is very good at matching colors.
- 2 Not all colors are possible with anodization. For example, white is not possible. If you choose custom color, we will contact you by email to work out all the details.
