Japan's Mouse Computer has introduced a NEXTGEAR Clear Shift PC case that can toggle: "the glass panel on (this) chassis between transparent and opaque (modes) with the push of a button." A local publication, PC Watch, has covered this unusual product, although interested buyers will have to consider the cost of a full pre-built system. The "direct shop" exclusive NEXTGEAR EG Series gaming desktop system consists of a configurable set of hardware and the aforementioned special case design. A PC Watch evaluated an EG-A7G60 pre-build, advertised as starting at 224,800 yen (~$1472 USD) for a standard configuration. The review sample's fairly unremarkable spec sheet included an AMD Ryzen 7 5700X CPU, an MSI GeForce RTX 5060 SHADOW 2X 8 GB graphics card , 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) of DDR4-3200 memory, a 1 TB NVMe SSD, and an unspecified B550 chipset-based mainboard.

The Japanese publication seemed to be more interested in checking out the NEXTGEAR enclosure's new "unique gimmick." The front half of their article is mostly dedicated to an exploration of Mouse Computer's dimming panel tech. As mentioned before, the case's panoramic section features a "stealth" mode—easily activated or deactivated by a button that is positioned alongside a row of I/O ports. A "white smoked tint" is removed when a user selects the Clear Shift's transparent "clear mode"—resulting in an unobstructed showcase of internal components. PC Watch noted that this system works: "when the PC is turned on, and remains in 'opaque stealth mode' when the power is (switched) off." It is possible that another manufacturer could be inspired by NEXTGEAR's "Clear Shift" design, and release their own interpretations, beyond Japanese shores in the near future.
