CNC Keyboard Case Showcase
Partnering with talented keyboard designers, MachMaster transforms innovative concepts into high-quality CNC-machined keyboard cases. Here are some of the remarkable works we’ve helped create.
Choose Your Keyboard Case Material
The material you choose defines the weight, feel, sound, and durability of your keyboard.
We machine all of these — so you can pick what fits your vision.
Aluminum
6061-T6 · 6063 · 5052
The most popular choice for premium keyboards. 6063 offers the best surface finish for anodizing. 7075 for extreme rigidity.
- Lightweight yet rigid
- Excellent anodizing response
- Great heat dissipation
- Best price-to-performance
Stainless Steel
304 · 316L
Heavy, solid, and virtually indestructible. Delivers a unique low-pitch sound signature and unmatched durability.
- Extreme durability
- Premium weight (2-3x aluminum)
- Distinctive sound profile
- Corrosion-resistant
Brass
C360 · C260
Dense and sonorous. Adds significant weight and delivers a deeper, more resonant typing sound. A favorite for custom builds.
- Dense — adds 1.5-2kg to a case
- Deep, satisfying sound
- Unique gold/patina aesthetic
- Excellent machinability
Polycarbonate (PC)
translucent
The RGB-friendly choice. Crystal clear or frosted — perfect for showing off underglow and switch lighting.
- Crystal clear or translucent
- Lightweight — great for travel
- Impact-resistant
- Unique “thocky” sound

Custom Camera Cage Overview
What is a Custom Camera Cage?
Components of a Custom Camera Cage
- Main Cage Frame: Surrounds the camera body and provides structural protection.
- Mounting Points: Threaded holes for lights, monitors, microphones, handles, and other accessories.
- Top and Side Handles: Improve grip and support flexible shooting positions.
- Cold Shoe Mounts: Provide quick attachment points for compatible accessories.
- Cable Clamps: Help secure HDMI, USB, and power cables during use.
- Base Plate: Connects the cage to tripods, gimbals, or support systems.
Why Are Custom Camera Cages Expensive?
- Material Choice: Aircraft-grade aluminum and other quality metals cost more than molded plastics.
- Precision Machining: CNC milling requires accurate setups, multiple operations, and careful tolerance control.
- Complex Design: Accessory mounts, cable clamps, handles, and detailed contours increase machining time.
- Surface Finishing: Anodizing, sandblasting, polishing, and laser marking add extra production steps.
- Small-Batch Production: Lower quantities usually mean higher costs per unit.
Common Surface Finishes for Custom Camera Cages
- Anodizing: Adds corrosion and wear resistance while allowing different colors on aluminum.
- Sandblasting: Creates a smooth matte texture and reduces visible machining marks.
- Polishing: Produces a cleaner, more reflective surface for a premium look.
- Laser Marking: Adds logos, model numbers, or custom graphics with high precision.
- Plating: Provides extra surface protection and decorative finishes for selected metal parts.
Key Features of Custom Camera Cages
- Precision Fit: CNC machining creates accurate dimensions that match specific camera bodies and accessory layouts.
- Lightweight Strength: Aluminum offers a strong structure without adding excessive weight to the camera setup.
- Flexible Mounting: Threaded holes, cold shoes, and accessory mounts support lights, monitors, microphones, and handles.
- Custom Design: Cage shape, cutouts, branding, and mounting positions can be tailored to different product requirements.
- Durable Finish: Anodizing, sandblasting, polishing, and laser marking improve wear resistance and appearance.
- Easy Integration: Well-designed cages work smoothly with tripods, gimbals, cable clamps, and other filming accessories.
