Thanks! We plan to offer 2 cases (CNC aluminum and clear transparent plastic) once we're happy with the design

Will the device be able to slot into an enclosure later or will more assembly be required?

The CNC version will definitely involve some screws to make it more secure

What are the odds of the clear plastic being purple and green in classic Nintendo fashion?

That would be really cool! But we may not meet the MOQ to get all those colors made

Can you do a survey or otherwise investigate demand for this because I love those colors too. 8BitDo has special editions of their controllers in those colors: https://shop.8bitdo.com/products/8bitdo-sn30-pro-special-edi...

Rather than make a custom case, it would have been neat to see this PCB just slightly smaller that it'd drop right in the Blackberry 9900 housing to match the keyboard. There are loads of reasonably priced enclosures available that are already designed to fit selected keyboard.
