What do people use to carry UHK around? Currently I simply carry it in a backpack, but sometimes there are too many things in it so I would prefer some extra case for added protection. Any recommendations?
I find a padded 13” laptop sleeve is a perfect fit and gives it some kind of protection in my back pack.
Now I have modules though, so need to find something to place those in now…
The DIY UHK carrying cases - Ultimate Hacking Keyboard post contains some solutions.
I have a roomy 13" or 14" laptop case, which holds either the keyboard with or without a thin laptop (Dell Lattitude 7370) and with or without the modules. The tenting legs are attached but folded in. There is enough space also to fit a mouse or charging cable and a compact charger, in the main compartment or in the front pouch.
Just to show that it fits, but I use a bit of padding and a pouch for the mouse.
With the thin laptop underneath…
Full package with laptop and everything.

The case is really old 10, years or so, so I do not think that you can buy exactly this one. But surely similar ones.
I think I found this from the UHK cases page originally and then found even cheaper alternative on Aliexpress. But I think this fits the modules, palm rest, and everything quite nicely
Yup. It’s perfect. I put mine in with the palm rest at the hinge so more room in the pouch for the modules
There’s a 3d model on thingiverse. Didn’t try it, but it looks interesting
Indeed, it looks promising. I love the fact that it already accommodates the modules.
Is that the small size?
It’s been a while, so rather than accidently recommend you the wrong one I’d recommend checking the dimensions. Also you never know when a ‘medium’ means something else or if they switch suppliers.
You can try using a custom EVA case for your UHK! These cases are lightweight, durable, and provide excellent protection for your keyboard when your backpack gets too crowded. Plus, they’re designed to keep everything secure and organized.

Hope this helps!
I recently got the Akai one (Khanka Tragetasche Hülle für AKAI… Khanka Tragetasche Hülle für AKAI Professional MPK Mini MK3/ MKII MK2/Mini Play Portables 25 Tasten USB MIDI Keyboard Etui Case.(mit weichem Schaum) : Amazon.de: Musikinstrumente & DJ-Equipment) suggested by others here, and it is a perfect fit for a UHK60 with palm rest. Plus, very affordable.
