Prototype keyswitch spacer has arrived from Shapeways. It replaces both an MX switch and the keycap, to create a flat spacer like you find on Model M and other winkeyless keyboards. I have designed them for 1x, 1.25x, and 2x sizes, but I had the prototype shot in 1.25x size so I can replace the Windows key on my Leopold ANSI TKL keyboard.
The prototype is not sanded or polished in any way. Sorry for the potato-pics, and hopefully you can see the snap-in mount and alignment pins on the backside. (The alignment pins can be easily snipped off for plate-mount use.)
I will be installing this into a keyboard Real Soon Now, but i wanted to show y'all what it looks like first.
I have some improvements I want to make, then I'll publish the .stl file as well as make it available on Shapeways for anyone who wants one or more.
