That's looking amazing. I don't know if you're keeping track somewhere but count me in for one. : ] Just to make sure I understand... you're offering different combos of stuff so to speak right?

Like, for example.... Someone could order a winkey version of the case, with a plate that supports 1.25u ...

:D This project looks great. For a bit now I've been looking into making an acrylic case/custom plate for a custom PCB of my own make. This could work for me too though if you do a group buy.

I noticed in the first pics your custom plate allows for Stepped and non-Stepped Caps Lock positions but ...

Nice! That's above and beyond man. : ) Thank you.

Hopefully I can find a nice place to do my CNC work on the plate and this all works out. Nearly done designing my custom! :D Yay.

Am curious, what will you use to glue the aluminum and acrylic layers together? Is the aluminum anodized or just bare?

The design looks super slick. Grats.

Oh! I was worried that might be the case. I'd appreciate it, or even a rough diagram as long as it shows exact measurements.

I appreciate as much accuracy as you can provide. : ) Will save me a good chunk of time and money for sure if they're dead on.

Just so it's clear. What I mean by "stabilizer hole" is the hole in the steel plate which accepts the black lower piece of the costar stabilizer.

Costar Stabilizer Plate Measurements

Hi again,

You guys were so helpful last time I've got 2 new questions! : ) Hopefully someone can assist again.

What's the optimal dimensions for the rectangular hole to fit costar stabilizers?
Does the actual stabilizer peg line up dead center of the stabilizer hole once everything is assembled?

Oooookay! : D I get it now. Poifect.

Hm.. while I'm at it, I see a lot of references to measurements for spacebar stems (40mm and 50mm) also in metric. Is there a better way to get the positions? Or are those pretty much spot on in metric?

Thanks a lot guys.

Awesome. That's a better number than I had I'm guessing. Could you help explain just so I'm confident in this...

Besides the width of keycap where do the numbers come from in the equation? o.o

Stepped Caps-Lock Measurements

I'm working on a keyboard project and am having a heck of a time finding a good source on this. Looking for the precise difference between a center-stemmed and stepped caps lock (measured from the center point of each stem).

The type of the stepped caps lock I'm thinking of is (I think) the more ...

Leo fc200r w/Replacement Keys

This is my first mech keyboard and I love it.
fc200r with some old double shots I bought from a very kind fellow on this forum.

There are keys I couldn't replace. Planning to mod the doubleshot capslock so I can swap that in.

I made the wrist rest out of oak and still trying to decide if I like it ...

Alright well, don't know if anyone else cares but I found a similar key set to the GH group buy on a FC200R.
Not sure if it actually is one of the older group buys or just a copycat. Weird that it seems to have a gray space bar too?

In case I'm not the only one. >.>

Yeah, I don't mind that sooo much. I think if the whole bottom row is just Leopold keys it won't stick out too much. Kinda like how \KL's black Cherry board looks with the white caps.

Guess I'll just find out. Hm... Wish I could see one before choosing. xD

Hm, am curious. If I was patient and determined enough to mod all the stems of these keys to fit the FC200R...

Would the keys be the right size approximately? Shift, ctrl, alt, space, caps. This is what I hope I can do. : )

Cherry MX - White Keycaps - Where?

Figured this is as good a place as any to ask...

Where could I find some white keycaps (double shot, lasered, pad-printed, whatever) which might fit a Leopold FC200R?

Just a couple notes:
-I'm Canadian
-Not worried about every key. I know some of the Leopold keys are non-standard like the space ...
