Please refer to the mother GB thread which can be found here

Introduction

Note: this post will be updated. As such it shall be considered work in progress. A change log is shown at the end.
Last change 2025.01.01 (yyyy.mm.dd)

The top and bottom plates are considered priority 1, being 0 the highest priority. They are required once the flippers, springs, barrels are available. They shall be design in conjunction with the Sensing PCB and the spacebar tabs.
As such, at this stage it is important to record constraints that would affect specifications of other components.

Constraints
  • Physical space allowing easy controller installation
  • Avoid press fit, which shall allow easy keyboard maintenance

Alternatives to be considered
  • To be discussed avoiding press fit in favor of screws. Refer to constraints above.

2025.01.01 - initial version
2025.01.01 - updates to align to overall project concept (e.g. priorities, constraints, options added)

Oh wow!!! Thx for that. Now I can finish my FSSK, or at the very least rebuild them as Model Ms :lol:
