Not All Linears Are The Same!
Figure 1: Not even all of these (mostly) KTT-made linears are the same! After all of my years of collecting, reviewing, and obsessing over switches, I can say with certainty that linear switches are the most misunderstood of all of the switch types. No, I’m not talking about mechanically either, as all of the claims of them “just going straight up and down” are somewhat kind of true. (Not too much though, don’t get that excited.) The part that is often misunderstood, though, is usually in what is being implied when people say that these switches just go straight up and down – “All linears might as well be the same.” If the title of this article didn’t make that obvious enough to you, I find that sort of idea to be completely and utterly wrong. The people who make these implications wouldn’t say that a Cherry MX Black is the same as a Novelkeys Cream switch? They also certainly wouldn’t ever claim that every Gateron-made linear is the same as every fancy TTC one out there...

Does it hurt the metal case bluetooth signal noticeably? Also how difficult is it to change cases? This is my first mech keyboard that I'm looking at modifying in any way.
Personally, I would probably end up buying the case and trying it out. If it didn't work, I would just build another custom keyboard that wasn't cordless. Sadly, this item drops at a time of the month where I am out of money, and ends before my next pay check. :(((
