Yes. The position of one diode will be moved just 1mm distance to make the clearance.
The case and plates are made from aluminum.

I need my split backspace.
I also prefer a different configuration for my bottom row with a 1u on the right side of the left spacebar

Yes. It will support multiple layouts. That's the purpose of having the solderable PCB. It will support MX and ALPS.
Do you mean split the 2.75u key with 1.75u+1u? The layout hasn't been finalized yet so I do need more input.

No carbon fiber wrist rest is definitely a bummer, that was a big selling point for me. Oh well, GLWGB.

I would personally want something like this similar to other alice layouts like below, but then you would have to redo the top case to accomodate the extra key.
now that i think about it its basically just swapping the left and right spacebar cluster lol. i guess its too late for that.
Having the 1u key on the left makes it more ergonomic when using as an fn key, rather than trying to reach for the 1u key on the right with your left thumb while your right hand is on the mouse or arrow keys or nav clusters. You could use the “nice” key as your left side fn but then again it looses the ergonomics since its too far from the home row

Great news thanks
I was thinking more as the screenshot above 2.25u + 1u or even 2u + 1u
Will we be able to purchase this solder PCB before the board ships so that we don't have to pay for shipping again?
