The Tiger 80 Lite ticks all the boxes when it comes to modern Alps cases.  It's a hollow plastic case, with lots of empty internal volume, and it has a great mounting system.  The result is a wonderful Alps sound, with a soft and pleasant typing feel under the fingers.

The budget nature of this case also lends itself to inexpensive alps builds that don't sacrifice much in the way of performance,  Matias switches are a great match for such a case, offering an entry path into Alps clickies without the typical price tag.  Modern simplified Alps, these switches feature the wonderful Alps click leaf mechanism that has produced such a loyal following.
