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
Finishing Options for CNC Keyboard Cases
We offer a wide range of decorative finishes tailored for CNC-machined keyboard cases. In addition to our in-house anodizing line, we work with trusted partners specializing in electrophoresis, powder spraying, PVD, clear coating, and laser etching to meet both aesthetic and functional requirements.

Custom Flashlight Housing Overview
What is a Custom Flashlight Housing?
Components of a Custom Flashlight Housing
- Head: Holds the LED, lens, reflector, and related optical components.
- Body Tube: Houses the battery and provides the main grip area.
- Tail Cap: Closes the rear section and may include the power switch.
- Threads and Sealing Areas: Connect housing sections while supporting secure assembly and water resistance.
- Heat Dissipation Features: Fins or machined surfaces help transfer heat away from the LED.
Why Are Custom Flashlight Housings Expensive?
- Material Choice: Aluminum alloys and other metals cost more than molded plastics and require precision machining.
- Complex Geometry: Threads, cooling fins, battery compartments, and tight-fitting sections increase machining time.
- Tight Tolerances: Accurate dimensions are needed to ensure proper assembly and reliable component fit.
- Surface Finishing: Anodizing, sandblasting, polishing, and laser marking add extra processing steps.
- Small Batch Sizes: Prototype and limited production runs usually have a higher cost per unit.
Common Surface Finishes for Custom Flashlight Housing
- Anodizing: Adds corrosion and wear resistance while allowing different color finishes on aluminum.
- Sandblasting: Creates a clean matte texture and helps reduce visible machining marks.
- Polishing: Produces a smoother, brighter surface for a more refined look.
- Laser Marking: Adds logos, model numbers, symbols, or custom branding with high precision.
- Powder Coating: Provides a tough protective layer with good resistance to scratches and daily wear.
Key Features of Custom Flashlight Housings
- Precision Machining: CNC production supports tight tolerances for accurate threads, seals, and component fit.
- Material Options: Aluminum is widely used for its low weight, strength, and thermal performance.
- Custom Geometry: Housings can include unique grip patterns, cooling fins, mounting points, and branding details.
- Durability: Machined metal bodies offer strong resistance to impact, wear, and everyday use.
- Surface Customization: Anodizing, sandblasting, polishing, and laser marking create different looks and textures.
- Heat Management: Aluminum housings help transfer heat away from LEDs and internal electronics.
- Flexible Production: CNC machining works well for prototypes, design updates, and small production batches.
Popular Brands Specializing in Custom Flashlight Housings
