My keyboard arrived yesterday! I wasted no time pulling it apart, making a few changes to my case model, and printing a new revision.
The Pi+Hyperpixel screen assembly fits great. It drops in from the front and secures from the back, and then a bezel (not pictured) will attach to the front.
The keyboard is great - and the mouse works better than I expected! Very easy to get around a full desktop environment - Plasma feels great, even at 720x720!
At the moment, the keyboard is plugged into a USB Port on the outside, but my plan is to directly solder the USB cable to the pins, and print a little "USB blank" to close up the port that will be used for the keyboard/mouse.
So far it's on track to need no software - meaning you can install anything you want on the Pi, as long as the Hyperpixel is supported. No software needed at all - it's all plug and play.
Next step is the front bezel, back cover, battery, wiring and power button.
Stay tuned!
